    After the obvious choices, Tim Tadlock is my 'shoot-for-the-moon' pick. After that, it's Lane Burroughs, as I've been on his train ever since Sext-Gate
    We won't even get close to hiring Burroughs. Kendall Rogers is saying we're probably going to hire someone bigger than Mingione- and we're going to have to get through Mingione, Butch, and Brad Bohannon before we even get to Lane.

    What I have always heard about Lane- good recruiter, not so good hitting coach.

    If we go with someone off the Cohen tree I hope it's Bohannon.

    Cohen tree choice for me would be mingione. I don't think it will be bohannon and I know it won't be Burroughs

    Neither would I. I don't know why some of our fans are so anti butch and Mingione. Both are very good coaches and would win here.

    I think its the fact that they would be so predictable. Its not a splash hire. Folks are ready for our baseball program to shit or get off the pot

    That's it. Me, I don't want a young coach that is immature. I know, Cann's issue probably won't happen again with us, but I don't want to be burned again. And I KNOW Cohen isn't wanting to be burned again either.

    I have nothing against either, but I would rather us get a more proven coach. I know we likely have no chance at him, but I would love to have Virginia's coach.

    Todd, what is it about Bohannon that you like? I know he coached under Cohen at KY and last year under Ming but that's about all I know. I believe he has a pretty good reputation as a recruiter. This being his 1st year at Bama, if it got to him, what's the chance he'd leave Tuscaloosa for Starkville? Always enjoy your input on the board.

    Great recruiter who identifies talent better than Butch and Mingione and now has Alabama at 10-1. Helped build Kentucky and Auburn plus Kentucky wanted him to stay after Cohen left.
