I dont think he would have come here if he didnt think he could win BIG.

He has had other offers from big schools, but he decided to come here. I hope he's here to stay (meaning he's as good as we all think and he loves it here as much as we do).

I never heard specifically, but that was floating when we hired him, that he was waiting for the right school. I think Mitch Cole confirmed for him to come here when other offers didn't seem to fit him.

If he's smart, and I think he is, he'll stay here for a long time and have a statue built and streets named after him

Maybe he'll even get a beloved gas station named in his honor!

Oh wait till momma calls…

I think college coaches are realizing their tenures can be pretty short if results don't come fast. As a result, I think the "Cignetti" approach is the way many will copy. If you are having success or stability at one place (e.g., Drew at Baylor; McCasland at TTU; Dixon at TCU etc), you stay there instead of jumping to the next, which in many cases means starting from scratch again and revamping expectations.

However, I do think that if Nate Oats ever leaves and Bama offers him the job, he will probably take it. He has mentioned multiple times that both his parents are Bama grads, and that he lived his whole life in Birmingham until he moved to A&M last year.

But as @marcag said, we have to enjoy it.

What is this.

He will win here. He will get more attention. Then he will leave for more $. Have you not learned anything?

It won't be about money if he leaves, we can match whatever anyone else offers him. It would have to be a program like Duke or Kansas that comes calling if he is going to leave

Because easier to recruit to there or because their arenas are so much nicer?

This is a thread where the op is not only self righteous, but also begging for validation....

Not as rare as you may think, but impressive nonetheless

And let's give him a better basketball arena.

Buckys introduction to Aggieland last year.

For all of those who question and worry about Bucky leaving please watch this video and then you get what this guy is made of AGS.

Some were unsure but I and others have been all in since day 1. If you think this guy is going to leave immediately you have not listened to what he is about.

I second this! Go watch his intro presser!

What we're seeing now has been the plan all along. The hard work, giving more effort, being unselfish, being relentless.

How about something that kinda looks like the Campbell Center. The CC holds 7500 fixed seats so that would have to be increased and redesigned with suites like everybody complains we don't have but it could work if done right.
