Honestly I think it's a fine hire

It just may take some time to get off the ground and I'm not sure how that'll fit with Alabama's impatience

You make a solid point, so here's the way this thing is suppose to work out:
Byrne's gonna move up the construction start on Coleman, so Alabama's gonna have to play its home games, away(probably B'ham). This'll give Oats a year to get in and settled before folks start to actually critique the team's success. It'll also provide a great recruiting tool for the future. Alabama's basketball program is going to get a mulligan regardless of who the coach is because of the fact that they'll have no home court advantage (we saw that with the baseball program).
All the bullshite positive and negative conjecture at this point is exactly that...bullshite....And anybody trying to tell folks how things are gonna work out with ANY future coach is as full of shite as a Christmas goose.
