TL; DR Version: There are credible reports from several people around the program that Thad Matta is on campus today, and that he is the leading candidate to assume the head coaching position of the Alabama men’s basketball team. Perhaps less credible overall, there are additional rumors are that AD Greg Byrne is willing to accelerate the Coleman Coliseum renovation to secure the services of the right candidate, including Matta. And several #sauces have suggested that one of the issues down the stretch in 2018-2019, was that Johnson had lost his team. Compounding that problem was the Tide’s top target, Mountain Brook’s Trendon Watford, allegedly did not want to play for Johnson.
