pretty sure i read somewhere he grew up an msu fan. and that's who most bama 'in the know' peoples are worried about.
just wish we'd get off our ass and build a new arena already. not really worried about him leaving for money. we'll match just about anything. but prestige, better facilities, better nil setup, thing like that will be what draws him away. not much we can do about prestige, but the rest is up to us. hopefully, with what he's building here, he gets a few more years in, and it'll be similar to dabo at clemson. sure, there's better historical programs out there, even his alma mater/childhood favorite, but why leave the juggernaut he's built? why not become the legend for them.
my hope anyway. good problem to have, teams wanted your coach. bad problem to have if you're not one of the 'haves', and while bama isn't terrible in bball (and much better historically than most people think), we are certainly not a 'have'.
