Bad basketball is the fans fault...right. Never beating a top 100 team in 15 years is the fans fault...right.

Marlin had some good years, but everyone had seen enough before the latest extension.

A new direction for the program is exciting.

Its like the chicken and the egg.... did you not support because of those things or did those things not occur because of you not supporting.
How many other sports on campus also didnt accomplish that stat yet never lost support?

Alabama under saban had no significant non conf road wins and lost to monroe, that wouldnt have flown here.

None, because the other big sports here (Football, Baseball, Softball) regularly compete against and beat top teams and NO coach in those sports would have lasted as long as Marlin did. It’s amazing to me how we lowered our expectations in basketball. I think after so many probation scandals etc...post Jessie Evans some were just happy to have a clean program that could occasionally win conference.

Sorry for having higher expectations as a fan and alum.

I'm no Marlin apologist, but being a lame duck for another 90 days is no good for anyone nor the program. Time to look forward, plan for the rebuilding of mens basketball.

You are far from the first to blame thimgs on the observant fan

Saban also has 7 National Championships on his resume. Marlin has never won an NCAA Tournament game.

It flew here.

They had to throw away the fan shen it hit.

They confused oscillating air moving fan with pendulum swinging win/loss affected paying human fans.

Both got thrown away.

I’ll be there today along with my family.

As for Marlin’s decision to leave now, can you blame the guy? If it’s true that there would be no buyout if he chose to retire at the end of the year knowing that the school wanted him gone, why would he stay another 6 months? He just figured to get it over with now, and he gets paid doing it. I can’t really blame him for that
