Maybe that Rivals mod really doesn’t know how to spell “Matter”

Catching up on the last five pages of this thread over the last few minutes has been a confusing journey.

Well, I know Byrne deserves benefit of the doubt.

Oats would have been my fall back guy if Forbes did not want the job.

Here is to Byrne being a great judge of ability.

Love the hire by Alabama AD @Greg_Byrne. A little outside the box, but Buffalo’s Nate Oats has done a phenomenal job recruiting and coaching with the Bulls.

"Do you feel good about the Nate Oats hire when you were certain Thad Matta was the guy?"

Nah, that isn't true at all. Hell you could say Hurley lived off of what Witherspoon built.

If we were going to hire a mid major guy Oats fits all the good stuff. I just don't trust mid major guys. So hopefully this one works.

I don't hate the Oats hire, I think he can be successful, but if we were going to the mid-major route I would have preferred to have Steve Forbes

I'm guessing we don't have to speed up the renovations now
