TL; DR: Yesterday we got to know one of the leading candidates for ‘Bama baskeball’s vacant job, Thad Matta. Rumors were that Matta was on campus, among other details. After that meeting, Greg Byrne had a press conference ticking off his wish list for a new coach. That conference and Byrne’s requirements for the job were detailed in today’s Jumbo Package. Enigmatically, after the press conference, Byrne hopped on a private jet — not the University’s jet, presumably to Ames to meet the man many consider to be the other leading candidate, Iowa State’s Steve Prohm.
Get to Know a Coaching Candidate: Steve Prohm — if not for his Alabama connection would he even be a lead candidate?
