Would the LSU fans melt if Bama hired Will Wade?
Wade is under a show cause until 2025. I doubt Alabama would pursue him, at least not this year.

Michigan isn't a blue blood basketball destination.
Regardless, the same people posting that he sucks also have him as the top candidate for every opening in the country. Hilarious.
It's a better job than Alabama but have to think the Big 10 re-org coupled with the SEC starting to become an elite bball conference hurts UM's candidate pool.

He'll turn it down, but the rumors for every good coaching opening will continue.
The only decent thing Allen Greene did in his tenure as Auburn's AD was open up the checkbook for Bruce. IDK what Oats makes now, but Bama would be wise to match any offers.

Checkbook isn’t everything. Barnes was set to leave us for less money if UCLA wasn’t cheap with his buyout.

Nate Oats is currently making $4.5 million a year. That’s top ten nationally. And the buyout is north of $15 million if I’m not mistaken.

That wasn’t Greene, that was Jay jacobs

Almost anyone would leave almost anywhere for Kentucky.
Why go to the pressure cooker that is UK basketball (and well earned), when he could win a title at bama without the extra outside distractions. Again, same with Bruce.
If Oats or Bruce were to win a NC, they would each be instant legends at their current school. If they win one at UK, it’s “Good job, now go to the back of the line”. Much like a football coach at bama. Dabo would be nuts to leave Clemson for bama (not that bama would ever offer) because the best he could ever be there would be #3 or #4.
I’ve been wrong many times before, but, unless bama has not shown Oats the support he thinks he needs, I think he’ll stay. Bama can definitely compete financially.

I definitely hope Oats stays but there are coaches that relish that “pressure cooker” you mentioned.
Let’s be honest, Oats and Pearl have gotten a few studs to come to their programs. But the prestige of Kentucky brings in multiple studs every year alone if your names not Billy Gillespie. They both would have more talent than they’ve ever worked with.
Why did DeBoer take the Bama job when Washington would’ve had him for life? He wanted to win at a place where internal expectations are insane, same for BK, and any other coach that takes a job in the SEC from another good to great program.
Just like Alabama in football and LSU in baseball, some coaches like being in the hot box. Because at the end of the day, those programs will give you everything you need to succeed and then some.
All I’m saying is that yes, some coaches are content where they are but others desire the glory of winning in the pressure cooker. We’ll see what Oats wants, hope to God he stays

If your coach is not getting called an a-hole by rival fans he ain’t doing much.

In other words, they don’t think they are good enough to win on their own recruiting merits. They feel they NEED the UK recruiting machine to help them pump their chest out when they “out recruit” (not sure how much credit the coach should get when the school recruits itself…but that’s just me) other schools.
Personally, I would think the pride of winning a NC in basketball at bama or Auburn would be much more challenging and fulfilling than it would be at UK….but that’s just me.
FTR, this no knock on UK basketball, it’s quite the opposite.

Yeah Michigan’s 8 final four appearances and 1 national championship are nothing compared to Alabamas rich history of college basketball with 1 elite eight appearance.
Michigan has knocked us out of so many tourney runs....

I know you are just trolling, but for the record I don’t think Oats would take the Michigan job over Bama.

Just signed an extension that was announced today. Buyout details have likely changed again anyway.
