Gottfried has quit after 11 seasons coaching his Ala mater. He leaves after both fan and player criticism came after losing seasons and the departure of Ronald Steele.
As I said last week, the departure of Ronald Steele would be the deathblow to Gottfried. There were to many questions around Steele's departure and many fingers started to point in Gottfried's direction. Plus with Alabama struggling the past couple of years and struggling this year, Gottfried would probably been fired after the season.
You will start hearing former Kentucky coach Tubby Smith's name start dropping as a replacement for Gottfried. He knows Alabama AD Mal Moore so his name will be the logical choice. You will start hearing Smith's name a lot till Alabama finds their next coach. This should be an interesting development.
If his resignation will do good for the team in their next game this Thursday, may be Gottfried is not right for the team.. Maybe Pearson is.. Good Luck to Alabama Crimson Tide..
