Reel him in! Announce it tomorrow!
Don't give UVA a chance to entice him back. Don't give Texas A&M a chance to swipe him away from him. Lock him down, and make it official!

There are a few other names that I would be fine with, but O'Connor is arguably the top coach in all of college baseball, and we are the top fanbase in all of college baseball. It's a match made in Heaven.Quote:

One of these days you people are going to figure out that the fan base of msu baseball is a double edged sword. It is one of the factors that makes this job a monster and not for just any coach out there. At least the guys running this search know that. As for that Selmon is going to hire who is told to on this one. At least he is smart enough to know that others can make the right choice for the program, much different than the last one. Could happen in ten days time or a little longer.Quote:

I think it's pretty unlikely that O'Connor, Bakich, and Wasikowski all tell us no, and even if they do, I'm not sure that Thompson is #4 on the list or that he would have any reason to come here anyway. Those other 3 would be leaving conferences that aren't committed to baseball to come to the SEC. That's not a concern for Thompson.
The key factor here is that O'Connor can openly negotiate for the job as of today, while the others have to wait at least a week, probably longer, and focus on their own current jobs.
Highly unlikely that Butch will be the next head baseball coach at MSU. This is not the normal search situation.Quote:

It speaks volumes that you aren't telling me who you think is actually #1 over O'Connor and O'Sullivan by such a great margin that it isn't even arguable.Quote:

That is Selman in this case.
It?s up to us to hold them accountable via public pressure and damn sure don?t trust them.
Plus if we can?t talk about this stuff what are we gonna talk about on a sports message board?
