Nate Oats on UNC job: "I'm not a guy that's always trying to jump around ... I love Alabama. My girls love Alabama. ... [Alabama] is doing everything we can to make sure we've got a competitive program. As long as we're able to compete to win championships here ... I'd love to be the coach to bring us our first national championship.

"To me, there's absolutely no reason to leave here. ... I'm not a guy that's looking to get out of here any time soon."


I don't see Oats or Golden leaving. They have it made. NIL has changed everything in this new landscape.

He's gone as soon as they lose.

Some fanbases are really supportive.

Some fanbases support the murder of innocent mothers.

The rest of your takes were so great.

Let's see how this one goes.

Agree.

Oats' buyout (I think) is like 18 mil and he's consistently in the Sweet 16 and further right where he's at.

Read that Florida was working to extend Golden as his buyout drops down to something like 11 mil next year, but he's already won a natty right there in Florida.

Makes no sense for these guys to be looking.

I guarantee you he said the same shite at whatever school he was at before Alabama while he was negotiating with Alabama.

I mean this happened last year. He withdrew his name before it could get any further when the UK job was open. He has no need to leave Alabama. He has everything he wants in this new NIL era without the crazy/unreal expectations that comes with a UK, UNC, etc. He makes the Sweet 16 or better almost every season now.

As much as Oats and Wade may or may not like each other, I get the sense that both would rather blaze their own trail than just go to the bigger school.

LSU fans in this thread hoping and praying Will Wade's daddy, Nate Oats, leaves

Yep. It's obvious they like the challenge. Wade just wants to be back at LSU. Oats loves it at Alabama. He's talked before how he likes football and being a two sport school.

Oats can't build a title type team. Mark Few is who UNC needs.

I'm going to ask you to Google how many titles Mark Few has won and then revisit your post, with a clue this time.

I can't see Few leaving Gonzaga either. He's got pretty much everything he needs and wants there, and his team doesn't have to play an ACC schedule every year.
