Oats Signs Extension With Alabama

[Cawood86]

I like Nate Oats but seems like people forget that Cal beat his ass down in the tourney when he was at Buffalo.

"At Buffalo" is the key

He has been sown.

That Buffalo team was good. They had just blown out Ayton and Arizona the game before and we dominated. Oats has a good chance to make a deep run this year, but he hasn’t done jack in March to this point.

That's like bragging your Aston Martin out ran a Toyota Corolla

They had just blown out a good Arizona team. Kentucky waxed them by 20. Not a brag, just stating a fact that he got beat down. I like Oats but he’s 4-5 in March.

My goodness, stretch Armstrong didn't stretch that far.

Whatever it takes to prop up Cal I reckon.

Look up Cal's first few years at UMASS.

Most good coaches have those separation clauses. Gotta add that to the price tag of pulling in a new one. Likely another 5 - 10 mill at least. So total replacement cost is what upwards of 60 - 75 mill give or take? Figuring buy out, incoming coach separation, new salary, replacement player NILs.

Didn’t someone say this was his last year?

Money!! It’s a hit…,

Not a stretch. That was a solid Buffalo team. I’ve shit on Cal all season and the past few. What has Oats done in March?

He’s been a hot name mentioned frequently in association with the Texas job as well as topping several of our wish lists here should Cal need to be replaced soon. Looks like Bama decided to open up the pocketbook before anyone could try to lure him away as this deal makes him one of the 10 highest paid coaches in college basketball and also includes a substantial buyout to be paid by a school that hires him should he still try to leave in the next couple of years. Seems like a good deal for both sides.

I applaud them for rescuing him before it's too late.

They are paying him top 10 and he's never been past a SW16 in his career and has only even made it that far once? Good Lord!


I agree Cal sucks, but at least he has made it past a SW16.

Similar to our Stoops deal. His pay is not representative of him winning at a clip to warrant it at Bama/Georgia/ etc., but this is UK FB. Same situation.

No. Cal is a better coach than Oats.

It’s not even close.

He’s a good coach. And he will get better.

He will never get to Cal’s level.

Seriously: how many accounts do you have here?
