This is correct. And we are doing that.

If Garner had a singles approach, I would hope he wouldn't strike out in 75% of his SEC ABs.

The ECU job pays not much. The fired ECU coach was only in the 140K range.

Something may have changed since the weekend but as of then getting the pay right plus a significantly increased budget for assistants and recruiting were BIG hurdles with the AD according to a friend of mine well entrenched in ECU baseball.

The Godwin disciples say he has a "magical" recruiting formula he has developed but it takes a good sized budget and some manpower to support it. It is supposedly a compilation of the creative philosophies he learned at LSU and Vandy. I guess with a little Notre Dame and UM thrown in to boot.

He was on Tulane's short list and since Rick Jones made 250K it made sense. But they hired Sam Houston's coach.

I think his magical recruiting formula is to recruit Florida.

If East Carolina's AD isn't willing to give up 100K, he is more of a tightwad than LT.
