Coach Oats

[michaelt52]

Just heard on the Finebaum show that Roy Williams retired from North Carolina
and want to get Coach Oats from Bama. Anyone else heard anything ?

They'll hire Hubert Davis or Wes Miller. Don't fall for anything on Finebaum.

Rumor has it this pic was just taken at Nate Oats' house in Tuscaloosa

UNC typically hires from in house. Would be a surprise to see them hire someone without North Carolina ties.

CNO is not going anywhere except to the airport to take CNS's jet to recruit. RTR

 

[Jordan Harper]

Nate Oats won’t leave Alabama for the foreseeable future

Thought this thread was about Coach Oats.

CNO not going anywhere. Typing too fast at the end of a long day

UNC would be a difficult job to turn down. I hope they are not at the spot Alabama was in when they went after Saban. If they are, I hope they have their eyes of Jay Wright and put all their energy and resources into getting him. That job would be hard to turn down for just about any basketball coach.

The foreseeable future is a rather vague term it could be one hour

There should be a board policy on triple posted, unfounded rumors!

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Hubert Davis or Stackhouse are the top candidates

 

[BeastofBourbon]

If Oats were to get the UNC job it would mean they swung and missed on at least 4 other candidates. Programs like UNC just don't miss like that.

No mistakes for UNC as they hit the nail on the head when they hired Bill Guthridge and then Matt Doherty followed him before they got Roy Williams to come home

But I do agree with @BeastofBourbon that they usually get their man. He might not end up being a good coach but they get who they want.

True dat! And I understand one of these choices was after they pegged CRW and he supposedly resigned from Kansas and then withdrew, deciding to stay at KU because of his bond with that specific team/players

 

[Jordan Harper]

UNC likes to keep the job in house, so they’ll likely go with someone with UNC ties

At this point I'd be somewhat surprised if it wasn't Hubert Davis. Apparently he's turned down other head coaching opportunities in recent past, perhaps for the opportunity to replace Williams.
