What you need to know about Nate Oat’s Alabama contract: This is the Crimson Tide’s head coach’s salary

NCAA basketball’s top teams face off today in a battle between the nation’s No. 1 and No. 2 teams, both from the SEC. Let’s take a look at the Alabama’s coa

The Crimson Tide’s HC had his contract extended last year through the 2028-2029 season. He is currently one of the highest paid coaches in college basketball and will receive a $200,000 bonus each year until reaching an annual salary of $5.5 million in 2029.

He has earned his money at Alabama over five seasons with four SEC titles and three straight appearances in the last three editions of March Madness. Currently No. 2 in the country (that could change if they beat Auburn), the Crimson Tide are on a fast track to make it back to the NCAA Tournament.

For what it's worth, Oats has bonused out at a total of 200K for season results since he's been head coach at Bama. I can only assume he's hit the academic requirements for a bonus as well. But, to be conservative and say the team hit their mark half of the time, that takes him to a quarter of a million in bonuses since he's been in Tuscaloosa.

On the "half of the time:" I suspect it's been every year. They led the SEC last year with a 990+. (Meeting academic requirements pays a bonus of 25K.)

Probably going to receive another raise and extension. UNC and Indiana will call per usual and Byrne will strike up something to shut it down.

I read Indiana was going to go “all in for him”.

We need to do whatever we can to keep him in T’town. He has brought Bama basketball to a new level that even Coaches Newton and Sanderson did not achieve and those two had outstanding careers.

I really fear Larry Bird's alma mater is going to snatch Oats.

18 million plus reasons ...

But hey, I also understand it was suggested they call Sampson. Fortunately, a BOT member stepped in and said, "maybe we should just email him."

Why would Indiana State want him?

Why would Indiana State want him?

I'm just joining the absurdity and decided to "keep it down home, cuz." The Sampson comment didn't give away the tone?
