Can we please go away from the “Miami guys” and honestly the pro guys.

So many good options in the college ranks who know recruiting, developing, etc.

Please. Please. Please.

 

[QuattroCane]

Please. Please. Please.

Ditto, we're Miami we don't need a "splash" hire we need a great hire. Only negative, IMO, we face as a program is being a small private school, hence the Vandy guy

I feel like I’m throwing out a football statement, but I think we need to target someone with SEC ties. Seems like every school in that conference is good and deep.

Hiring a “Miami guy” will turn us into Arizona State and USC. No half *** nonsense, this program can be the elite of the elites. We don’t need to cheap out here.

And USC finally just went big in baseball in in 1 year look at difference. Prob had an argument to make the tourney. Went after a pro guy but who put in some time at other places first at the college level.

He doesn't seem to know JD is definitely out. (Or is he?)

If we hired Cora he probably wouldn’t be. We shouldn’t hire Cora on a few levels.

Tony Vitello?

I don't care how ridiculous I sound

Bring back Butch!

Would be crazy (in a good way) - he definitely coaches with a F U attitude! Dude has stockpiled some talent in Knoxville.

Per tos. John Jay.

Not gonna lie I wouldn’t complain about that hire a bit. As long as he would bring in a strong pitching coach and not retain JD

Totally agree.
Lots of MLB have tried their hand at the college game and most have not fared well.
You do cite Stankiewicz at USC as an exception to the case, but he also paid his dues at several schools and excelled before taking on the USC job. Even his assistants, with pro resumes, did work in the college game.

This is the only phone call Rad needs to make.

He needs to be a fallback. If this is #1 target it’s a mistake. There’s a lot of candidates we could realistically pursue that are more qualified.

Brown at Vandy should be at top of list, IMO. Consistently one of the best programs in the country. And I like the Duke coach too.

 

[BP Joe]

Watching UVA & Duke right now - would take either of these two coaches.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

McDonnell
O’Connor
Brown

You have to get a no from these guys before you can offer the job to somebody with little or no college experience.

Heck, I would take any one of the top two assistants at UVA, especially the pitching coach.

Add Pollard and I'd be thrilled if it's any of those 4.
