Vaughan is official at Bama and they are retaining the interim coach who led them to a deep run as his Assoc HC.
DMac at Louisville had been rumored there, so that’s a positive if he’s in fact open to leaving Louisville. Trust me, he has the swagger and confidence to thrive in Miami. He's a native New Yorker and has always had incredible self confidence and high baseball acumen.
Plus he’s had success in Coral Gables before…..he was the lead off hitter and 2B man for The Citadel who swept through the Atlantic Regional defeating Miami twice to earn a trip to Omaha in 1990.
Tulo is an intriguing name, he's at least been to Miami dozens of times playing the Marlins so he might have an affinity for it. Either he or DMac would be HR hires.
Pollard has never left the state of North Carolina with stints at Davidson, Pfeiffer and App St. He would be smart to stay at Duke, not an ideal culture fit for Miami imo.
If Rad hires anyone from USCe it's likely going to be Monte Lee, the guy he hired at Clemson who is now Assoc HC and recruiting coordinator. His predecessor fired him. He’s had success at both College of Charleston and Clemson.
Chris Hart and Kevin McMullan, top Assts at NC State and UVA respectively are ready to take the next step but not at Miami unless Rad misses on his top choices.
Robert Woodard at Charlotte is a fast riser and has immediately turned around that program after being hired by AD Mike Hill (who was previously at UF), but he's a local guy (Myers Park and UNC grad) and needs more experience.
