autigeremt 6,652 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Mark Gottfried out as Alabama's basketball coach Posted by Gentry Estes, Mobile Press-Register January 26, 2009 2:11 PM Categories: Basketball Mark Gottfried is out as Alabama's basketball coach. Word comes from sources today after Gottfried met with UA athletics director Mal Moore this afternoon. Gottfried is not expected to coach the Crimson Tide's games for the remainder of the season. Assistant coach Philip Pearson is likely to take over as interim coach, though that has yet to be confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shire5k 19 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've been waiting for years for this announcement. I'm pretty indifferent to basketball...and he kept me from even watching. Maybe now I can get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,040 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Keep your fingers crossed that Bama doesn't hire Coach Nell Fortner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,640 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 That's a damn shame. He was such a good fit at UAT, being a grad and one of their finest. I was hoping he'd hang around over there for another 10 or 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrnfanatc 6 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Funny...I failed to see the articles in the Birmingham News this morning crucifying the Alabama administration for firing a coach of 10 years at mid-season. I must have overlooked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Alabama will likely go hire a black head coach (Tubby Smith, Mike Anderson, etc), which will put a dagger into the administration of the Auburn Athletic Department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,652 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 We will counter by hiring a black coach if Lebo can't keep the train on the tracks this season. But it will be after the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
