I would take Rick Pitino's son over keeping Grant in a heartbeat
Monday at 2:59 PM
We know we are going nowhere fast with Grant, and will more than likely be on the decline unless a change is made. At least with a new hire in Pitino, we have hope for improvement, better recruiting, and a semblance of PR from our coach. There is a VERY SMALL window for us to move before the Bruce Pearl personality/PR train runs us completely over. The state of Alabama will turn out some VERY GOOD talent over the next three to four years. if we do not make a change this year, there is a zero percent chance we get any of them. Now, I am not necessarily saying Pitino should be the first call, but if the choice is retaining Grant or hiring Pitino, let's give Jr. a shot.
Most of the talking heads seem resigned to AG returning. If so, will anyone care about potential outcomes? If AG returns, the floodgates for instate talent will open to Bruce. I am depressed.
