What your thoughts on this (if it actually happens)? He coached the Mavericks to a breath away from an NBA title and certainly has a big personality, both of which could be helpful on the recruiting trail.
So, do you like the prospect, hate it, or something else?
UPDATE: Looks like Johnson is going to be our new coach, folks. Per reports, a deal could be done as early as today.
UPDATE 2: It's done.
Avery Johnson and Alabama have come to an agreement in principle on the UA coaching position.
