Debo & Oats. A New Era: The Official Alabama Crimson Tide Athletics Thread

[Rigby.]

I think Alabama needs a generational type of hire if they want to be established as a power, Avery already showed them what a guy who does as best he can leads to. I don't think this moves the needle for them in essence

Lol at this terrible posting why the fukk would we need a generational talent to be good? Avery was just a bad hire, he doesn't know how to coach or develop talent. And people talk about his recruiting but it really wasn't any better than Grant's. Bama just needed a good offensive minded coach who's going to bring in a lot of good 3 point shooters and that's what they got. Buffalo was 6th in 3PA last year while Bama was 201st.

Hate on Avery say he has done nothing when he was an above average nba.coach to big up a white coach from the MAC. Smh

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

John Petty just said he's gonna stay at Bama instead of transferring. Kira most likely staying too. 2 of our commits already said they are still 100% as well. Good start for Oats

We might win the Mac next year Falcons up Talons Up

Inherited a lot of Hurley’s groundwork, but he did take them to the next level. To be nationally relevant and legit top 25-30 squad for a couple straight seasons in buffalo of all places isn’t anything to sneeze at. Bama can’t seem to get these hires correct though. Maybe they need to up the hoops recruiting payroll a bit

Nationally relevant is very generous....

An odd choice for sure by Oats. At the right school, he certainly could have built something. Alabama isn't that school.

Why isn't Bama that school?

Why isn't Bama that school?

Off of the top of my head. It's a difficult school to get kids to go to (gotta CTC like they did for Sexton. Unlike Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Auburn and Kentucky, it's a program with no history.

What history do auburn and lsu have?

Were they not nationally ranked most of the season?

 

[NatiboyB]

I thought alabama liked Avery Johnson please don't tell me hes on his way to the Cavs.

Nobody was watching them or cared,they were ranked cuz they beat up on a shytty conference...That doesnt mean they were nationally relevant lol...

Nobody outside of Buffalo cared and tbh nobody IN Buffalo really cared until the tournament started...

Auburn has Bruce Pearl now, and a new place among the elite. The top 7 ranking they had early in the year was no fluke. Bruce changed the game in the state. We'll see what the new coach does for Bama. He has his work cut out for him. Auburn isn't the only school trying to be good in basketball in the SEC. Everybody has money to spend now.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

………and the never-ending arms-race in the SEC continues.

theyre saying that Arkansas is going after kelvin sampson

and texas a&m is gonna try to get buzz Williams.

Nate Oats is most brotha name I ever heard.

Too bad he's white.

I assumed he was black for a good while.

and to add insult to injury, I was watching one of their games, and the camera kept showing a black coach. I guess it was the opposing team's coach, but I didn't know that back then.
