I'm going to miss our "stand around watching the ball for 25 seconds" offense.You can run offensive sets? I don't think I've seen one in the last 10 years. Amazing stuff.......
Sounds good, just as long as we are able to beat the Barn ...I hope so, but it's a different caliber of talent that you need to recruit to win night in and night out in the SEC. His recruiting classes have never been ranked in the top 75, and he only has 2 4-star players he's ever signed.
He may be a great evaluator of talent, but winning with 2 and 3 star talent will be tough sledding. We'll see if he can do it at a higher level now that he has more resources. I'm not saying he can't, but it is the big unknown.
What's interesting is, CAJ had never proven he could recruit or develop talent, and his proven ability to develop a gameplan was questionable, but somehow that was seen as a better hire than this? At least we've seen proof that Oats can develop players, develop gameplans that win on the highest level, and coach on the court. Let's see if he can get the right players in to implement the system he wants to run though.
Can't whiff if the first guy you offer comes on board. Big names have to start somewhere. The AD at LSU that hired Nick away from Michigan State sure looks like a genius.Huge difference between recruiting in Buffalo NY and Tuscaloosa. He has zero ties here in the southeast. He may blow us a way at the press conference, but from the outside looking in, it feels like we whiffed.
I've said we need someone to change the culture here. I thought we need a big name to that. As the wise man once said. WE'LL SEE!

Think Hall & Oats has already been playedThe REAL question: do we rename Coleman to “Oats Hall” or the “Hall of Oats”?

It's OK for the HP to be part of your offense. It's not OK for it to be your total offense, as with CMG...Lukewarm on the hire and in a "Let's see what he can do" mode. Not thrilled about the HP offense, becuase we still have to make shots and handle the ball well when the defense pushes the ball out to around half-court. That's been the story the past 13 years. Let's see! I still remember the CMG HP offense.

I know......just brings back those days. I'm hoping that he is as good as advertised and is up tempo.It's OK for the HP to be part of your offense. It's not OK for it to be your total offense, as with CMG...
