Anthony Grant is a Flyer and I respect but there's no way he would be considered if he wasn't an alum. He did worse than Mark Gottfried the guy he took over for at Bama. Gottfried made 5 straight tourneys and elite 8. Grant played in a weak SEC and made the tourney once in six years. He finished 5 games over .500 for his career at Alabama in a conference where the consensus was it was down

A good comparison for Anthony is Dennis Felton who was just hired at Cleveland St. Felton is 53 and Grant is 50 and they both had a similar career trajectory.

Anthony got his start at VCU and had three good seasons there. Felton took over a similar program at Western Kentucky and rebuilt it vs inheriting an NBA player in Eric Maynor and a good situation like Grant. Felton took Western the NCAA's three years in a row and accepted the Georgia after the 02-03 season.

Both Anthony Grant and Felton spent six seasons in the SEC and each had a NCAA tourney appearance. Felton had 2 NIT trips and Grant 2 & was let go before his 3rd.

Felton like Grant went to the NBA after getting fired from the SEC.

I'm not sure how anyone could like at Grant's track record and think he'd continue an upward trajectory for the program
