Bama fires Grant

Former rising star looking for a job......

@RobDauster: Alabama announced that they have fired head coach Anthony Grant. 45 minutes before the Selection Show.

Wojo to Alabama? :D

Weird timing. Bama could still go to the NIT....

I wanted Grant when Buzz was hired.

any Alabama recruits or potential transfers that Wojo would have connections to?

I was also a big fan of his. Surprised that he really slowed the tempo at Bama with better athletes. I would not be stunned if he turns around his career and gets another high-major gig at some point. Hell, DePaul can and probably will hire someone worse.

Alabama offered Buzz once or twice.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Crean involved.

Heard the same from my Indiana guy on the mock committee. Sounds like Crean knows the score in Bloomington and is wisely thinking about an exit strategy.

I suppose since Saban is there (Michigan State) and Gottfried was there (Harbaugh relative).

Interesting take on that on II,II board: http://btownbanners.com/topic/7268-t...-rumor-thread/

One of the things I don't miss this year is the annual coaching move question. tc had it far more than buzz and I hated that about tc.
