Apparently, we became a joke quite some time ago, we just didn't get the punchline until now.

I still can't figure out how Fogler became the college basketball coach whisperer. Has he placed anyone that's actually worked out or does he specialize in middling, on-the-cheap hires?

OK. Last 2 pieces of vomit regarding Howland.
The upshot of this is that the two most attractive jobs remain DePaul & Bama. DePaul is rumored to be heavily interested in Bobby Hurley & Bryce Drew. People suspect Prohm is the guy at Bama unless they have to go big guns, given the Starkville hire.
This leaves a lot of our top candidates likely sitting out this cycle. The question is whether we open during the next cycle to capitalize on that.

I still don't think I would take the deal if I were Marshall. Why give up the job security he has and the great momentum his program has had recently just for money? He is already making 1.75 million a year. It's not like he is grossly underpaid. He would always be in Nick Saban's shadow at Alabama and the basketball program would never be all that appreciated.

Why not make twice what you're currently making on a bigger stage with very little pressure BECAUSE hoops is 2nd to football and more resources to boot?

Alabama just fired a guy who wasn't doing all that bad. If Marshall accepts a massive contract, there will be plenty of pressure on him to succeed, with little recognition if he actually does. I don't know why he would take a job like that when he is in such a good situation right now and could easily wait a few years for a better job to come up. If money were that important to him then he would have gone to Nebraska or NC State when they were opening their wallets. Of course, Alabama could go to ridiculous numbers and throw like 5 million at him. That would be hard to turn down.

RE Marshall at 'Bama....outside of Kentucky, is there really a team anyone is scared of in the SEC? Florida possibly?A good coach like Marshall can bring in his guys and compete with Kentucky, and pretty much swat everyone else to the side.
You come to the ACC, you're in a dog fight pretty much every other game. You've to deal with some BIG time coaches. From that recent article, Marshall seeems like a guy that doesn't want the week to week grind that he'll have to deal with in the ACC. He wants to come into a job and be a top dog from go.
A job in the Big 12 (Texas) or SEC gives him a job in a premier conference, with not all that much competition, and he can compete right away.
