Anthony Grant AP coach of the year

[Towels 'N Sporks]

Had a far better year at Dayton.... Dayton.... DAYTON.... than coach White has ever had here. Sorry, couldn't resist mentioning that.

Congrats to him and wish he was here as an assistant still... Or you know... The other thing.

Congrats. Before you go wishing for something that might not yield the results you seek, Grant had a great year at Dayton and some good years at VCU. It was that time at VCU that landed him the job at Alabama. Well check the history books and see how awful Grant was at Alabama. Perhaps the VCU and Dayton level is perfectly suited for Grant. There is nothing wrong with that, but as far as Grant at UF goes, Just say no.

Who’s done well at Bama?

Exactly. Dayton and VCU had more basketball history than bama for gods sake.

Avery Johnson had an NBA winning record of 58%, including winning the 2006 NBA Coach of the Year. At Bama, 55% (48% in conference) and made the NCAA Tournament once in 4 years. So yeah, Bama is not a good barometer at all.

Kind of like Steve Spurrier at Duke? He sure wouldn't have done any better had he stayed after the 89 season.
