    I want to know what you are identifying as success.
    Anthony Grant inherited some solid players...and he ran off Pollard- Pollard didnt surprise him by leaving.

    You think Bama fired Gottfried to bring in a guy so he could go to 1 NCAA Tourney in 5 seasons? Hell, Gottfried was 12-7 when they fired him midseason

    it could very easily be replaced with:

    "You think State fired Stansbury to bring in a guy so he could go to 1 NCAA Tourney in 5 seasons? Hell, Stansbury was 21-12 when they fired him at the end of the season."

    It was time for Stans to go, but if Ray get's us to 1 Tourney in 5 seasons will we same the same thing?

    But we got rid of Stands for outside problems as much or more than we did the 2 NCAA's in his last 7 years...that wasnt the case with Gottfried

    I'm not going to disagree

    But I thought Gottfried did have some issues? Maybe it was personal issues though...an affair or something? Doesn't matter now I guess.

    Gottfried had been to the NCAA Tournament 5 out of the last 6 full seasons he coached when they fired him.

    Stans had been to the NCAA Tournament 2 of the last 7 seasons he coached when we fired him.

    Alabama essentially fired Gottfried because it looked like it was going to be 2 straight years out of the tournament, but they didn't even let him finish the second year to see. We fired Stans after 3 straight.

    Gottfried was banging a sorority girl and got caught. Dick getting wet gets so many fired.
