Oats has built one of the best programs in college basketball. He has proven that this is not a flash in the pan. He should absolutely be a top 3-4 highest paid coach in basketball.
You’re a miserable frick.

Nate Oats
This thread was started in March of 2023.
Is Nate Oats the problem?
This was from March of 2022.
Plenty of idiots on this board doubted Nate well after his first season. Hell, some still spout that "live and die by the 3" bullshite.
My decision to avoid such threads consistently proves itself to be the correct choice.

No one made me eat more crow than Oats. I thought it was another cheap hire of a nobody coach. And that’s why I’m just a random internet poster.

Make him the highest paid coach until he gets the NBA itch .. hope he doesn’t
He was asked about the NBA a few weeks ago on The Field of 68 and while he didn't say never (this was after the Kentucky win) he mentioned how they flew up Friday afternoon and were back in Tuscaloosa essentially 24 hours later and with a daughter at UA, one in high school, and another in middle school he gets to spend a lot more time at home vs in the NBA where you have 41 away games just in the regular season each year and how often you're gone from home for several days at a time there. UA/ Greg Byrne has shown he gets pretty much what he wants from the university. If/when he leave for another job it will be a NBA job and not another school.

He did just get a new contract prior to this season. We going to give him a new contract after every season? 
quote:
Oats will make a $5 million salary in the first year of his new deal, and if another school wants to grab him, it will need to pay a hefty buyout.
By the end of the contract, which now runs for six years, through the 2030 season, Oats will make $7.55 million. The deal ends on March 14, 2030.
Half of Oats’ total compensation came in base salary. The other half will be paid out for meeting certain media, speaking and other obligations.
If another school hires Oats away from Alabama in the first two years of the contract, it will owe Alabama $18 million. Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne said he believed that’s the highest such buyout in the country.
The buyout due to Alabama drops to $10 million for the third season of the contract, $4 million in the third, before zeroing out for the final two years. The new deal went into effect on March 15.
The deal also came with a plethora of bonuses. Oats can make $50,000 each of winning SEC regular-season and tournament titles, and another $50,000 for participating in the NCAA Tournament.
Once in the big dance, he can receive $25,000 for non-Final Four wins. A win in the Final Four will pay out $300,000, while winning the entire tournament pays out $500,000.
The latter two bonuses don’t stack, meaning a full run through the NCAA Tournament would net $650,000 for Oats. He can also earn money from winning SEC coach of the year ($25,000) and national coach of the year ($50,000).
Meeting certain academic standards, including an 85% graduation rate, and an NCAA-approved APR score, can earn Oats another $25,000.

It’s not revising history. The true fans that posted in the Basketball thread from about the Belmont game on that year knew he was the real deal. Herb Jones got hurt and pretty much ended our season.
