Looks like it's Marshall or bust for Alabama.

If they don't get Marshall they are screwed. I just don't see Marshall leaving for Alabama but I've been wrong before.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Marshall said it would take a crazy offer & well, Alabama can be crazy for the right person. The question is do they consider Marshall to be the right person?

The gumps have just about cornered the market on crazy.

It is a short commute from Starkville to Tuscaloosa. #rickray.

They should have watched ..

And learned from Strick .. You DON'T fire your current coach without have his replacement committed .. period.

Strick learned from the Rick Ray experience. Bill Battle is running out of options.

Grab the popcorn and just watch 'dumpster fires' burn at Bama and now .. UT. And, UT can't afford to spend much on a high end coach.

If Texas decides they want to change coaches (which is very possible) and goes after Marshall, then Bama should really be screwed.

Or they go after Rick Barnes in that case

Yes they do and they are supposed to offer a big time salary ($4 mill per year or possibly higher isn't out of the equation) with unlimited resources (plane travel, facilities, etc.) When Nick Saban gets involved in the recruiting, they are definitely serious and that has been mentioned.

It's okay to fire without replacement when things are sufficiently bad that the new guy can't do worse than the last one. If you are firing your coach because he's too mediocre, however, you better have a plan in place.

Haven't you heard? UT is still so much better than MSU in everything. Just go check out twitter and you will find that out. Now, you cannot get them to admit that they haven't been relevant in almost 10 years in almost any sport but they are still so much better than MSU. Even the fact that Vandy has more wins than them over the past 5 years in football doesn't even mean that they aren't still an elite program. Howland is currently crying in his pillow about why he took the MSU job now that the elite UT job is open...
