Hmm.... Very interesting

Give old Tom Cream a call.

This isn't that big of a shock. It was pretty common knowledge that Bama wasn't happy with Grant.

Call was made by feelers weeks ago, IMO. No inside knowledge, just my thoughts.

Not shocking at all. Just interesting.

I believe this is the first move of the coaching carousel this season.

Yeah definitely interesting. Now there's a little substance to the rumor. Nothing against you, I was just providing some context for anyone that had heard the Crean rumor but didn't already know he was on the way out.

Didn't Donovan speak to what a great coach Grant was about 3 days ago? Shades of Izzo supporting Crean.

Hmm.........

Hmm.........

C'mon man!! Are you saying "Hmm" while scratching your head or saying "Hmm" with a grin??

[IU Hoosier41 14,490]

It's a Domino. One that most people thought would happen regardless of Crean rumors. Timing fits some things I've heard, but it's smart to do this on Selection Sunday and get the news buried.

Grin for sure. All that smoke just resulted in a spark, and perhaps, a small flame....

Anthony Grant out at Alabama Alabama has fired head coach Anthony Grant, the school announced Sunday.

 

Grant, 48, was with the Crimson Tide for six seasons, winning at least 20 games three times and making an NCAA tournament appearance in 2012. He also led Alabama to a pair of NIT appearances, reaching the championship game in 2011.

After getting off to a 12-3 start this season, Alabama struggled over the final two months of the season, finishing 18-14 overall and tied for eighth in the SEC.

 

If 18-14 while struggling down the stretch gets you fired at Alabama, what does 17-15, 20-13 get you at Indiana University?

I think I see the future.
