John Petty clarifying - tells me that there is still a chance he stays at Alabama, depending on new coach.

The dude is definitely a fan of Saban. Look at this old tweet:

Solid hire. He will likely be with Bama for a long, long time. To take Buffalo consistently to the NCAAT is nothing short of remarkable. This gives us some Steve Forbes-like X and Oats without the baggage. A good, hard-working, clean cut no-nonsense guy who will have his opportunity to grow into a legend. #I believe in Oats

My guess is Petty is gone regardless and this clarification was so he doesn't have people harassing him



But Goodman sucks so

I want Kira to stay, but everyone else can jump in the portal

Also, I believe Byrne had this thing almost nailed down before they finalized the Avery buyout

I think this is the kind of coach we needed. I'm excited to have a guy that knows what he's doing. Also, he will demand the kind of effort and attention to detail we sorely lacked under Avery. He does need to try to get Bucky on staff to help with Alabama high school recruiting. Also, he needs to be on the phone with Kira now.

I love this coaches confidence in his ability and philosophy. Very Saban like and he is supposedly a fan of Saban.

Soon after Oats got the Romulus job, he called his close friend and old college teammate Baker to come join him. Baker was nervous because he lacked coaching experience and asked Oats if he should read a book by Pat Riley or Mike Krzyzewski. "Books?" Oats asked. "Shoot, they'll write books about us."
From- YahooSports article.

Alabama head coach Nate Oats has already offered 3 star forward Raymond Hawkins who is scheduled to announce his commitment on March 30th. Had previously named Buffalo, Arkansas and Arizona State as his three finalists.

Well, I am disappointed. I hope Oats is a home run but right now he just seems like another in a long line of mid majors. Success percentages are low. Hope we got the right diamond in the rough this round. Time will tell.

That being said< I will support him and give him time.

These are the Bama basketball coaches that I know of:

CM
Wimp
Hobbs
Gottfried
Grant
Avery

How many of these were mid-majors coaches before starting at Bama?

Not sure I like the fact that he is going after guys that he offered at Buffalo. I'd be pissed if a coach did that to Bama

I am good with him. We know Alabama is not ready to start paying CNS money for a basketball coach. He is the best young, clean cut mid-major coach out there. I will be going to some games. I just hope he can retain those 3 signees because he will have some shooters to work with. I hope Kira will stay also. Petty is gone; I have heard he has a major attitude. It will surprise me if he doesn't go.
