They laughed at us. They treated us like we fell from grace. They called us a football school. If we cared what they thought we wouldn’t be THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.

This past offseason, Nate Oats lost:
- 2 first round draft picks
- Top 10 defensive center
- 3 key players to the portal
- 3 assistant coaches
He has now taken Alabama to the Final Four after losing all of that.
