As to the Alabama AD - it is Greg Byrne that was here. He was wise enough to hire Adia - but he tolerated Niya Butts long after she had lost the fan base, team and respectability. Of course, this was under Arizona's financial restraints, they let her finish out her contract.The SEC needed a lot of change, the conference was becoming too weak overall IMO (NCAAT reflected that). McCray will not be gone after next season, although if she has a similar season as last year, her days may be numbered, Vic did not leave a rebuild. Blair won't be around much longer, he is up in age. Pingeton is still pretty young although they have had losing seasons the last two years and havent been the same since Cummingham left. Another losing season could expedite things...Not sure on Curry, she isnt ever going to win big at Alabama, I guess it depends on how content their AD is with that program.
I liked Greg, FWIW - he is an excellent AD - but there were some mixed downsides.
