Cohen Talking Baseball Coach on OOB

[ShotgunDawg]

- Will this position pay 1.5 mil+? "The coaches we are considering make a lot of money. This position will pay at the top of the scale"

- The new coach has multiple CWS experience

- The interest for this job has been above my expectations. We've had interest from Hall of Fame coaches.

- We will not disrupt someone's season by naming coach early.

With the above evidence, it has to be Schlossnagle, McDonnell, Corbin, O'Sullivan, Mike Martin, Maneirie, Tadlock, Dave Van Horn, Pat Casey, or Savage from UCLA. No one else qualifies.

Can't be an assistant because of the pay.

I'm fully convinced that we're hiring Schloss. This is awesome!

That's my guess as well

Mike Martin is older than dirt....me too, however.

Was just throwing out qualifiers due to what Cohen said

You know you can cross Manierie and O'Sullivan off the list. I'd bet they'd rather go work for Kim Jong Un than work for Cohen.

This. I think the reasonable list is Schloss, McDonnell, and Corbin, although I think we would be asked to stay away from Corbin because of cannibalism within the SEC being frowned upon.

I also have to think based on those qualifications that Brian O'Connor from Virginia has to be someone that may be considered or potentially reached out to us. Not sure why his name isn't being mentioned, but he's been to the regionals every single year at Virginia, been to the CWS 4 times, finished runner up once and won the thing once. If we are seriously looking at the best coaches in the country, his name should be on that list.

He's happy where he's at.

The SEC didn't frown when Florida hired a sitting AD and a head football coach away from us. Screw the SEC. We will hire who we please.

(I am not complaining about the Florida hires, we are better off with our current staff.)

Just saying...

The AD situation I don't think really matters. AD of UF is a significant difference than AD at MSU. I will say that given the names out there and the number of jobs open this past season, I think Mullen staying inside the conference was an outlier. I would be stunned if that happens again in the next 5 years.

The University of Florida disagrees...

O'Connor Rocks but I don't think John Grisham would allow him to go to State.***

Schloss, McDonnell, or Corbin
Nothing new here. Schloss is the hot name right now. Not sure if it's for real or a smoke screen for McDonnell/Corbin. Cohen is talking a lot, so it's a done deal with one of them.

Agree about Cohen already having an agreement otherwise I don't think he'd be saying nearly as much.

Kendell Rogers "I think they pay 2 mil and get land one of the three enormous names."

Kendell Rogers "I think they pay 2 mil and get land one of the three enormous names."

Not happening. We aren't paying $2M. Of course, $1.5 isn't far off.

[crackerjax]

Kendell Rogers "I think they pay 2 mil and get land one of the three enormous names."

Kendall Rogers on OOB actually said we wouldn't have to pay near 2 million to get any of those three. Around 1.5 mil for Schloss and 1.2-1.3 mil for McDonnell. Also mentioned that neither Schloss nor McDonnell have a buyout right now, and Corbin's is small. He added that he would be shocked if Corbin left Vanderbilt.

[smootness]

Yeah, Rogers said he's hearing what we're hearing - that it'll be either Schlossnagle or McDonnell. He also said it isn't over.
