Mark Gott-fired and Alabama Basketball stuff

One chapter closes in Alabama Basketball and another chapter will begin soon. The burning question is....Who will be the author of this Chapter? Nick Saban has already written an intriguing Chapter in the legacy of football. Will Mal Moore swing for the fences and pony up the cash to get a Saban-esque Basketball coach? The names being brought to the forefront are names like John Callipari, Tubby Smith, Anthony Grant, and for some reason Bob Knight. I can see three out of these four and other names I've heard grinding the rumor mill. Johnny "Ballpark" Franks has Tubby Smith on his radar. I won't doubt him because most of the times I have, I've been burned. I mentioned on the show that Tubby Smith would be in a win-win situation if that is the case. If he does decide to jump ship to Tuscaloosa, now would be the best time to do it. The SEC is down and Alabama has the athletes to compete, they need to be polished. It worked for Tennessee a few years ago when they hired Bruce Pearl to succeed Buzz Peterson. Alabama's situation is better than that. The SEC West does not have a stand out team and yes I think LSU's record is over inflated. Beat a team like Xavier, then I may give you some love. A hire of a Tubby Smith or John Callipari would rock the foundation of the SEC.
