Is Nate Oats the favorite to be the top coach in the SEC going forward?

The answer is a RESOUNDING YES!!!

Kentucky is on a downward slide and can't seem to deal with the way the game is played today.

Tennessee ain't bad but Barnes is not Oats.

Auburn can't win the big games. Pearl's good people though

LSU will not get back to form for a long time.

Texas, Oklahoma, A&M -- too many dilders, not enough horses, not enough chest.

I don't think so. Buzz Williams is coming into his own.

His guys are really killing it out there.

I for one, have got no problem with it. His teams have an edge and can get explosive when they put it all together!

This is a troll

Everyone here, regardless of affiliation knows that Coach Barnes is levels and levels ahead of Nathan.

It's not even close to be perfectly honest.

You didn't disagree with this ^

and sticking up for a Tennessee coach. Seems alter-ish to me.

A case could be made. At this snapshot in time there are 2 SEC teams still standing. If the Vols drop out and Bama gets by UNC - a huge obstacle of course - who does that leave? Bama. Not to mention Barnes is in his 60s. Cal’s seat is burning. Pearl just lost to a 14 seed. Oats has Bama trending upward with momentum. Pretty cool time to be a Tide basketball fan.

Until this shite anomaly of a year, Musselman had 3 Sweet 16s and 2 Elite 8s. AR was holding the SEC torch in the tournaments.

Calipari, Musselman, Barnes, Pearl, Buzz, Beard (TX) are great coaches. I'd say they're pretty even with Oats.

I would say yes and no. Just like in CFB most teams caught up to NS. There is too much parity with the NIL and the transfer rules. I dont see any program going on a long term run of dominance.

Too many transfer guys didn't embrace the culture. Seniors can resent hard coaching much quicker than freshmen and just shut it down. The portal potty can be tricky.

Well, that's incorrect. Auburn couldn't win close games this year for the most part and it was a problem all season that caught us in the tournament

For sure. It's much harder being a coach today with NIL and the transfer portal.

Not sure that pairing “Nate Oats” and “favorite” is ideal.

Good luck on making the Elite 8. I know you guys have been to 1 back in 2004 so you are well versed in NCAAT success.
Just think, 2 wins gets you to a place that Bama basketball has never been.
