This went from Alabama could really be a contender to Alabama could be pretty decent if they manage to stop the transfers pretty fast.

That is how you're supposed to handle the confidentiality of a coaching search. Smoke screen of Matta was great execution. LSU needs to take note.

Well. Alabama now has their version of a high school coach. Nate Oats coached HS basketball at Romulus HS from 02-13.

I mean it doesn't seem great if the smoke screen is a lot more exciting than the actual result.

This is at least the 3rd consecutive good hire for Alabama (don’t remember what the opinions were on Gottfried).

This guy needs to be on the phone with Kira Lewis asap

Just think of the good nicknames he can have- Oat(s) the Goat, Wild Oats, etc. If he gets fired early we can go punny with Rye we barley knew ya Oats. This is an excellent hire for these very reasons.

But why though? Why a smoke screen if you announce formally within the hour?

I'm starting to think that people just dont know what Matta looks like.

Byrne said something like if you don't hear it from me don't believe it.

I think he may have been just trying to prove a point.

Feels like a Lebo hire. Mid major hires are a coin flip.

Hey man, at LSU, we'd just take our Admins carrying out a coaching search properly. We're a PR nightmare.
