Is it time to admit Nate Oates isn’t a good coach?

I have a lot of questions for some of the losses this year.

Hit submit too soon. Oats still has time to prove himself. I think he is a great coach and needs some time to grow at Alabama.

They are about to lose to one of the worst teams in the country so there's that.

I think “great coach” is a big stretch. Team over performed last year and lost to UCLA largely because of coaching.

This year started great, but the last 3 weeks may be very telling on the sustainability of his style.

Oates is still learning, as is our young team. He has to reestablish the heart and passion last year's team had. Not any easy job.

Ridiculous post.

I’m going to need you to show your work.

Team is garbage this year. That's on Oats

I remember when people were scared he'd leave unless a new hundred million dollar arena was built by spring.

This is just flat out embarrassing. Might want to close your eyes over the next 3 games now.

I’m not sure we didn’t have a player actively throw the game tonight.

If you have the stomach rewatch the 2nd half and tell me you don’t notice it.

At some point it’s on the coaches for not benching him, but with Miles hurt I guess they thought they needed the scoring?

His obsession with James Rojas shows some serious lack of good judgment.

I think this is less about a James Rojas obsession and more about trying to find someone who gives effort but also possesses a modicum of athletic ability. The fact that nobody gives any effort is, of course, the real issue.

Nate Oats is an exceptional coach.

So exceptional he built this sorry team, can't motivate them, can't get them to defend and can't even run actually offensive plays or sets when we're struggling.
