Everybody was/is up in arms about not getting shloss or McDonnell and now we're wanting to just promote geautreau over getting a guy like Godwin or butch? Interesting...not even saying it's a bad idea but it's an interesting gear switch

We'll see how it plays out...I'll support the team no matter what Cohen decides here and the new/same coach will get questioned and criticized incessantly by the folks on here that are smarter than him but somehow didn't get the job.

I'm good with that. Sounds like the best option.

I don't think we should do the coach in waiting stuff. Doing weird stuff is what has gotten us into messes before.

Let's just get a coach and let him hire his staff and go with it.

Amen. Just texted that to a buddy. Coach in waiting just seems like it'll **** us even more if he gets another HC offer in the meantime. If he sucks, he sucks and we get to hire another lottery ticket in a couple years since apparently our baseball program is nothing more than a program that needs to gamble on unproven HCs at this point.

Agree 100%, 'IF' we make hindu the HC & Gautreau the HCIW, you're trapped when/if things go off the rail. Who do you blame? You NEVER really know who is making the decisions.

I would get behind this.

Was Saarloos offered the Rice job? did he turn it down? hmmm. makes one wonder if that indeed is the case.

Backup QB is always the most popular person in town

We don't even know if Gautreau can recruit yet.

Is he a good evaluator?

Does anyone know this? It's the most important part of the job.

I honestly don't see Godwin being better than Henderson. Henderson just left Mingione a group that had a lot of draft picks so his recruiting must be up to par.
