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 coach’s contract


Nate Oats led the Crimson Tide to first place in the 2020-2021 regular season and managed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament in 2021. The success in his first year at Alabama greatly increased the teams recruiting, which allowed them to get Brandon Miller who later went on to become the second pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Alabama is ranked second in the AP Top-25, just behind Auburn. The Crimson Tide are 20-3 this season and Saturday’s match up against SEC rival Auburn will be a huge test to see where they stand just before March Madness rolls around.
