Rick Pitino to Alabama?

[BearCat204]

I have read on the men's basketball page that Alabama has already hired Oats of Buffalo as Johnson's replacement.

Yup, hired him about 45 minutes ago. Locals are mad lol

Thought he left due to "medical problems." Pulling an Urban looks like

Pretty sure he did have some back and foot issues that were uncomfortable. It was becoming more difficult to recruit because coaches were using it against him. Of course, it didn't help that they missed the NCAAT his last two years. But, I guessing he has worked on getting healthier.

Seems like a decent hire.

I am hearing that Oats was their second choice.

Cream of Wheat turned bama down.

Nate Oats is a mediocre hire by Alabama and will make no one happy

 

[tn4elvis]

Seems legit. He’s certainly dirty enough to coach at Alabama.

Hilarious

Yea. His ability to take what Hurley had going and push it to the next level has been embarrassing

Alabama should have ponied up the money and hired Matt McMahon who I think now will become the next Vanderbilt head basketball coach

Guy is too good of a coach to never return. Even with all the baggage.

Is he to good or was it the girls, money, and blow?

Remember when Duke thought they’d go crazy and pick the guy from Army?

 

[Vol_Maul]

Alabama made what looks like a good hire and didn’t go dirty with it. There’s no point in trying to find something negative to say right now. It’s Alabama basketball, why care?
