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.
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
