Canes Baseball Coaching Search Thread

[Angry Ibis]

But he’s close to jd as is Alex Cora you’ll see the connection when staff is announced.

Do you think JD is a good hire for HC of Miami and why?

For sentimental reasons ( familyloss) and what may have been mostly Gino-ball impact, it might not be awful to give the guy an honest chance. Especially if its bundled with something like Tulo as hitting coach and Arod's wallet.

Coupled with the no core returning team or NIL-pot or Brink's truck there to sway others Rad sought, it's not clear what else they could do that wouldn't have us Moan over Miami anyway.

I keep seeing people say Tulo will be a hitting coach/infield coach on the staff possibly. He interviewed for the head coaching job. Now you think he will be an assistant to a guy who couldn’t tell him one thing about baseball that he doesn’t know? Come on

Then use better clues, because “two World Series rings and minor league coaching experience” literally says nothing about knowledge of analytics. Kristen Nicholson would be a better hire than most former players.

She’s a biomechanics specialist. You really would use a staff spot on her with 3 full time coaches only? You can’t be serious

I dont. But for some reason everyone we went after didn’t even have a resume better than Gino. I thought that would be the starting point.

If history is a guide, in 24-48 hours we'll be happy again.

It’s done. Should be announced today

Alex doesn't even get along with most of the Westminster dudes. Unless that changed lately I wouldn't consider that an option.

Agreed. Don’t think a rod has had too much to do with it. I know ARod and JD have had their issues idk if things have cooled over recently though

Yikes…

So then there is no positive spin…

A Rod has burned every bridge he’s ever crossed. I wouldn’t take his support or lack thereof to mean much

Cora is close to each of them because of joey and his tie to Alex. But from what I remember when we were younger and throughout school and ball years Arod wasn't close with JD at all. But I haven't been close to Alex in easily 7, 8 years and he definitely has changed quite a bit.

That’s you still missing the point. Your sales pitch was lame, worse than the resume of Nicholson. It still says nothing about analytics.

 

[theribdoctor]

Hopefully I'm wrong, but if it is JD...we do this again in a couple years.

 

[Brooklyndee]

I think you’re right with Westminster. Doug M has been outspoken about Alex.

We’ll see how this hiring situation works out…

I've known Alex that long. I was boys with tons of those dudes. Perkins and I were the closest. But because of football Alex and I were straight also & those dudes all flat out hated Alex & he felt the same.

I'm expecting we'll be underwhelmed.

Actually it’s not just never gave you his full resume. But it’s cool I’m sure jd’s calling soon since you have all the answers.

As long as JD “trusts” his coaches, though. Right?

So don’t claim that I’m dense if you admittedly said nothing about the person.

Based on the last 20 years, he needs to call someone. If it’s me, fine. But call someone.

I mean this thread has told you who the hire is for the last 12 hours. He got the call last night. You can also look at Cora and Jim Morris’ latest tweets. So you can start your reactions now lol the news shouldn’t be shocking when it gets announced later today. Only thing up in the air is staff, that I don’t know

Lol could you be anymore insufferable? You’re right you know everything.
