But let's see Oats get past the Sweet 16 once before even putting him in the "great" category, let alone "elite". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that what he's done at Auburn, of all places, and being ranked 9th is incredible for those in my age group. Love our HBC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Izzo might be a bit overrated as well now, he seems to be well past his prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tony Bennett and Matt Painter are a little overrated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA Tourney withstanding, Winning the SEC Regular season & Tourney titles 2 of the last 3 years is enough to make him great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGoo 2,666 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Calipari has done less with more than anyone. His talent carries him until they run into coaching. Be interesting to see how NIL spreads out the talent and levels the playing court. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the likes of Barbee, Orlando Antigua, and Kenny Payne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't erase the 2 SEC regular season & tourney titles. There have been many successful coaches that were pretty crappy people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAN ELLITOR Oates is so much easier to hate than Saban. Let’s see how he does now losing Antoine Pettway one of the best recruiters in the country for several bama staffs. We see what a Oates team looks like when he doesn’t have the personnel to fit his very specific system. And it ain’t pretty. It was comical seeing JD Davidson in Oates offense! I don’t think he has anywhere close to the number of shooters he needs for his system to thrive next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the novelty/gimmick wears off, he will be exposed as being an average coach at best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was before he showed his crimson arse. Boasting about zilch accomplishments. Probably due to the disease he is exposed to in that airplane hangar they call home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "this was Auburn's Super Bowl" comments this past year really chapped me too. Oats is a more abrasive version of Lane Kiffin, just tried to get under people's skin. And neither will ever win it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
