I just saw that John Brannen has been named the interim coach. He was one of my counselors at Marshall's basketball camp when I was a kid and was a total dick back then.

Alabama obviously made a mistake forcing Gottfried to resign. At the time, Grant seemed like a good choice given that he was on Donovan's staff, but it was definitely time to part ways. I like the idea of throwing a lot of money at Marshall and making him say no. I also like the idea of having Stansbury in mind as a back up plan if someone like Howland doesn't materialize.

Gottfried did his own self in. They basically had to fire him for off the court issues. He was too busy banging coeds than coaching.

Bama may have not done much in the post season but they are second all time in basketball wins overall in the SEC. Have more than ARK,Mich St, OK State and Marquette.

They need a coach with personality ala Peral and some sort of damn style. Grant had neither, complete bore in both of those catergories.

A couple of names that haven't been mentioned that I think would be good hires are Ben Jacobson from Northern Iowa and Bob McKillop from Davidson. McKillop is a little older but he has produced some good teams and plays a style that is fun to watch. The biggest drawback with Jacobson is that he plays the same style as Grant.

I think Bama should hire this guy...

He's a Bama grad and he is on record saying "I HATE KENTUCKY"!!!!

On a more serious note, he has taken Texas Southern to the NCAA Tourney each of the last 2 years.

Exactly..I hope we do throw a bunch of $$$$ at Marshall as well & make him say no to us like you say..Like I say I don't keep up with college B'Ball like I do college football..Is Howland a really good coach & would be a hire that would bring that fire back to Bama B'Ball????

Granted it's UCLA, Howland took UCLA to 2 final fours and a national championship game. He kind of faltered there at the end, but he still made the NCAA tourney with a 25-10 record in his last season before UCLA fired him.

He also took Pittsburgh to two straight Sweet 16's. He's a pretty proven head coach for us.

I'd much rather have him than Stansbury. Honestly, I don't want Stansbury at all. Pearl would coach circles around him.

He had UCLA teams with Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Aaron Aflalo, Darren Collison, Luc Mbah-a-Moute, Jrue Holiday, Kyle Anderson, Jordan Farmar, Ryan Hollins, Trevor Ariza, Jordan Adams, etc... He brought in a boatload of talent and was successful for a stretch, but he had so much talent. He dropped off as soon as he stopped having future NBA point guards. And his system was so constricting that various stat forecasts (for the NBA draft) had to institute special rules for UCLA players. Be an interesting hire.

I think this would be a good hire for Bama. He has been doing a good job at Murray, did not realize he was a Bama grad.
