Re: Alabama Set to Hire Nate Oats From Buffalo
I LOVE this hire. People who hate it, or is underwhelmed by it are going to eat crow in 3 years.
Some people seem to think Alabama can pick and chose who they want to coach the basketball program. That is no how this work. In some ways, what Tennessee is to football right now, Bama is to basketball. Bama needs a good coach, even if it's a gamble. Thad Matta would have been a gamble, just like Pitino, etc. Heck, even hiring Saban was a gamble after two mediocre years in Miami.
Nate Oats is a worthy gamble, imo.
