Bama has over looked Lon Kruegar, Mike Anderson and Ben Howland. All proven winners at Big 5 that would be highly successful here. Instead they go after an up and comer risk and a coach who makes them wait a week before he'll answer leaving no other proven winners available and embarassing the program. Howland should have been a no brainer. Get off your high horse and make a real hire. No one is saying hire Bob Huggins but come on. The hires made around the conference pretty much puts us in the back of the bus to stay unless we bring in a guy who can recruit and actually develop talent. Unfortunately I believe that opportunity was squander when we waited a week when we could have had Howland. Now he will be beating us on a regular basis soon.
