Coach Oats Will Remain at Alabama

... I have, trepidatious positivity right now.

So sorry to hear that. Did you not get the vaccine this year?

Pearl would belly-crawl over broken glass to get that job and to get out of that cesspool program he is currently in....

Pearl is the main reason for the cesspool.

He would just be taking his dirty swim trunks to the next pool.

No, Pearl was a perfect fit for the cesspool...

Just like Sleaze was THE perfect fit down there.

You know, this seems to happen more and more these days. Maybe coaching at a blue blood is not as attractive as it use to be. The pay is so good across the board these days that you just don't have to go deal with the pressure of the "UK"s of the world to cash in your big payday.

Plus, having to deal with the one and done players who are just using them to get to the next level.

NIL has essentially undermined blue-blood status - any school with a decent enough program and enough cash can buy the coaches and players needed to compete with anyone. I suspect the next decade of BBall is going to see a lot of 'new blood' in the EE and FF.

So glad Oats decided to stick here. I think he's just scratching the surface of what he can accomplish here. That Final Four run was magical, but Oats was pretty ****ed afterwards. He wants more.

No longer nervous. I love Bama basketball and I hate the transfer portal. I hope Sam stays.
