Fortunate we got Byrne as our AD.
VERY fortune Riley missed game winning shot vs Norfolk railway.
Fortune Byrne found the winner in Oats.
Oats, much like Saban, is a great communicator, has the players attention when he speaks or they'll hit the bench.
I had a good impression of Oats right away, getting Kira & Petty out of the portal.

I wanted Prohm, then I convinced myself I wanted Thad after it looked inevitable. But, I jumped onboard the oat boat once it was announced. I wouldn't change anything now.

The think Thad will put together a good team if he ever actually wants to coach again. Prohm has been pretty terrible after Hoiberg's players cycled out of the program.

Yea I was pretty happy with Oats - I loved everything I read about his build at Buffalo and his system. I just wasn't sure if it would work because mid-major guys are such a crapshoot.

You threw so many convincing Numbers at us That I started tweeting the WJOX radio station so much about him that they spent like a whole 15 minute segment on Forbes.

Byrne hit it out of the park with Oats. I hope he stays here for a long time, he is a really good A.D.

Georgia is losing to South Carolina by 28

How much longer are they going to keep Crean around? This is a disaster.
