For those that don't believe Gooman, Cecil confirms...

@CecilHurt Avery Johnson and Alabama have come to an agreement in principle on the UA coaching position.

The news put a smile on my face. It might not be a home run, but it is swinging for the fences. If Alabama gives him proper support, this could go very well.

 

[GP for Bama]

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
I am excited!

I will reserve judgement until he coaches a season.

This feels like a "sink or swim" type of hiring to me. Which is fine with me, because I am tired of seeing this program treading water. Welcome, Avery Johnson.

Very excited!!! Roll Tide, a few of you don't need to fall prey to the haters, get excited dudes, do you not see that smile! Dude is gonna win some momma's over and win some games! Roll Tide!!!

No one knows yet how he'll recruit, but with his resume I like his chances. I don't think he did what he did in the pro's if he couldn't coach, so I think maybe this is a big step up for the program. We'll see.

Roll Tide! I think he will be a great recruiter! I think we are going to like this hire!

@CecilHurt No idea how Avery Johnson will do in W-L's, but he will say more to the media in his first 15 minutes than UA hoops has done in 6 years.

 

[CrimsonDragon]

Pumped!

The news put a smile on my face. It might not be a home run, but it is swinging for the fences.

Quoth another Johnson (Ernie Sr.): "It's a long fly ball, deep to right, way back and...!!!" - and putting 'Bama basketball into a position of intrigue and great interest. Timing's impeccable too.

Roll Tide!

Love the hire in many ways. And, yes, it is a risk.

Hope AJ is calling some recruits yesterday.

It isn't a home run hire, but it is a solid double into the corner.
