There's no way Oats want to spend the next couple of years in Tuscaloosa at a Football school when he could be at a so called Blueblood program that's a basketball school such as Kentucky. Well that's what Calipari said at least.

Mitch is broke. He'd have to borrow half from tyson to pay the buyout

Yes, and Cal admits that it was that comment that put the final nail in his coffin.

He lost the support of the administration after that comment. Mitch made the comment with Stoops that coaches come and go all the time.

I personally don't blame Cal. I'd rather compete with Pittman than Stoops.

Bama just gave Oats a raise to $4.5, right? Currently no promise of a new arena.

I would bet if UK could get to $7.0 and pay the buyout, Oats would think about leaving. I mean there’s no way Bama can financially pay for an arena with these high interest rates and pay the HC more than about $5 million.

I feel like Oats salary has got to be maxed now at Bama unless he and the administration can agree to officially put building a new arena to rest.

Bruce’s buyout is around $7 million I think…. But he also makes $5.65 per year which is more than Oats.

Do you think Bruce would show interest or no?

I don’t think oats or pearl does leave. Bruce more than oats just because he has a cal vibe to him more than oats. But Bruce has his program going and Kentucky will be a mess.

Do you think the University pays for an arena? Because that what it seems like

Auburn and other fans desperately praying for Nate Goats to leave Title Town.

I hate to break it to you but it’s not happening ladies.

Your assumption that Oats wants the buyout to be paid is extremely flawed.

It is not about MB, with some Billion Dollar Donors, the $$$$ will be found after Cal is gone.

I remember it like it was yesterday. The SEC Rant was relentlessly making fun of Alabama for overpaying Nate Oats with his recent extension. They screamed “Nate Oats is over rated!” “Nate Oats is overpaid!” “Nate Oats is the fifth best coach in the conference!” “Nate Oats is a murderer!”

And now, just a few short days later, Nate Oats is under paid and under appreciated by Alabama. He is the top young up and coming coach in the country. He is the only choice for the top job in basketball - Kentucky.

This place needs a blanket prescription of Thorazine.
