I just can't stand Jackson as an announcer though. I don't know why the network was so eager to get him back.

And yes, Heinsohn took it to another level (or two!).

Jackson is just so full of himself that it makes him hard to stomach.

The fun-loving Jackson I remember as a player is hard to reconcile with this more pompous version.

Not to mention that Mannix doesn't know that Hunter was head coach for one ridiculously bad half season.

Hunter was horrible, but you never know. Some guys who stink at coaching in the pros are great in college and vice versa.

That was seriously a dark and embarrassing time for this organization. Definitely the low point of the Sarver era thus far.

It just seems like they took a normal promo and just threw in Shia. Pretty weak compared to some of the really good ones out there.

I take it you didn't see the Shia motivational speech thing that was floating around? It's weird. The dude is weird.
