Nate Oats

In the last 4 games Oats has given up 97, 96, 87 and 86, LOL. But he gets a pass on that atrocious defense. RR has turned into Walmart.

I’m so glad to see you’re still here, Draft Cat. Worried you may have been one of the ones who didn’t stick around after the merger.

I've been mostly in HOB and occasionally in my Discord. I've had a rough 2025 personally so I haven't really participated as much as in the past. Hopefully I'll stabilize in 2026 and be able to talk more with you all.

We’d look forward to that. Until then, will hope for the best for you.

Scared move? Are you serious? Mitch cowering in the corner signing a napkin maybe.

Only thing scared here are coaches that don't want to put up with the unrelenting slavering, gut rending crap slinging bashing that the lunatic fringe of the KY fanbase hurls at the last four coaches. Oats laughed. UConn guy laughed. Others laughed. Pope stood up. Bottom line is we got what you guys asked for. A three jacking offense and a bunch of poor little rich boy players. Benny boy paradise.

You have become unreadable.

To me it shows that Oats gas maximized what he is capable of doing at Alabama. Eventually another blue-blood will go after him and he’ll probably take the job. I’d be shocked if he didn’t. If Pope doesn’t work out, he still gets the rest of the year to convince me, then I’d take him in a heartbeat.

When you have coached as long as you have and give up that many points over and over and over, you do not hold anybody accountable for defense, period. That wouldn't fly here and he's not going to magically recruit defensive players that play good defense even though he doesn't care about it. Laughable and just more shameless hypocrisy to dump on Pope. Wake me up when Oats wins a championship with that total trash "hurry up and let them score" nonsense.

Offer this guy the university after this season. Before UNC does.

Alabama Basketball Head Coach Nate Oats and Wife Crystal Oats’ Relationship Timeline

Alabama men’s basketball head coach Nate Oats and his wife, Crystal Oats, have experienced tremendous moments of pride and terrifying moments of grief over the course of their nearly 30-year marriage. Nate and Crystal got married in 1997 and have since welcomed three daughters: Lexie, Jocie and...

Mac is actually good friends with Nate. He’s not lying. He is the most sought after source on BamaOnline when it comes to the basketball program because of his known connection to Nate. He just does not post often. So if anyone knows how Nate thinks behind the scenes, its @mac92

Does Mac92 believe Oates would come here or want to?

That's cool. UK should still offer again with a bigger NIL package. Facility upgrades promised. Etc etc. He won't be following a legend in Calipari. He'll be following the 2nd/1st worst UK coach of all time. And the worst recruiter in college basketball.

Dunno, dude said he thought about it lol.

Keeping the pipeline open. If Mark doesn’t get something accomplished next season, he’s out, and I’d bet money Nate is call number 1 or 2.

This guy would kill it at UK, here's an article about him and UK last year.

Just before UConn and Purdue tipped off in the national championship on April 8, Oats and Alabama's Athletic Director, Greg Byrne, released a joint statement announcing Oats would remain in Tuscaloosa and not pursue the Kentucky job.

Oats did mention to Davis, however, that there was some consideration to making the move within the SEC.

"To be even in the conversation -- I mean, the job was never offered to me. It's not -- it didn't get to that point at all," Oats said. "But there was a lot of speculation circulating around the country for a day -- or part of a day there -- that maybe I'd be in the mix. I actually thought about it."



"I think we've got a chance to win a national championship at Alabama, and I think it would mean a lot more winning one here than maybe it would be winning one somewhere where they've won with lots of different coaches over a period of time. It's almost expected at a place like Kentucky. If you don't make the Final Four, they're gonna -- you had a disappointing year, to be honest with you. John Calipari is a pretty good coach. He's won a lot of games. He's won everywhere he's been, and they weren't happy. I mean, he won a national championship. But you expect a Final Four -- which I don't mind. I wouldn't mind having that pressure, to be honest with you. I just think there's part of me that would actually enjoy that to a point because I put a lot of pressure on myself, anyways.

This guy would dominate here. Why he was never offered I have no idea. He has no title and is hungry for one. Already made the final four. 5 SEC titles, 2 elite 8s. How was this not the hire last spring?

Oats not being offered is malpractice on a comprehensively awesome level. I can’t believe the money people let him get away with it.

 

[L.O.D.]

I believe Oats is on our sideline this time 2027.
