Anybody who would not be happy to have butch Thompson as head coach has not been watching what he's doing at auburn.

Shit, I would question butch?s professionalism if he?s unofficially accepting a new gig with 2 months left in the regular season and 3 months left before the natty.

Butch will be there if everyone else falls through. You don?t go with your fall back plan 2 months before the end of the regular season and 3 months before the end of the CWS.

Good grief.

But yes, butch should be our safety choice. I don’t think he’s a bad hire, just a low ceiling hire.

I do know who the future recruits want. They are talking to each other.

The Next Level Baseball guy is a former pro scout who runs his own travel team now, so he probably does have some connections. Whether he has actually heard this or not, I don't know.

Why is there this impression that Butch is a low ceiling hire? Is anyone actually watching and seeing what he has done at Auburn this year?

Butch is doing more with the talent he has. I don't know why people can't see this. Ming came in and had a stacked line up. That's why he did well last yr. The guys Ming is winning with us Gary Hendersons recruits. KY was not in a bad place when Hendo got fired. They were just tired of his shit just like some of us are with the line ups he makes and some of the decisions he makes. For AU to even be competing with Kay is dang good for Butch.
Now I'm not saying I want Butch. I want us to go throw a blank check at Schnologal(so), or McDonald. Then if no one wants it, then take abutch. We could do far worse, but also far better.

Well, regardless who they want there will be a fall out with ED posters, not all but some. I can tell you I was a little surprised as this Coach wasn't may first chose but the players know way more than ED posters. I did ask why "they" like this Coach so much. The response was he cares about the players, very likeable players coach! I do have a very good source which I want tell at the moment, he knows and we talk. I'm gonna ask if "they" have asked about the HC job at Msu.

Believe me I know who the future class wants as they chat talk daily!

I will say that I trust Cohen more than anyone else making this decision. Canny was a Grand Slam in year 1. Cohen couldn't exactly suspect that the guy would get mesmerized by the poon and quit doing his job. Canny in one short year, took us to a Super Regional and set us up with top 5 classes for the next 3 years.

Cohen might do more homework on if guys lean toward Joey Freshwater status in the future. If Cohen believes that Butch is the man then I will trust that he is the right call.

He's got about 6 jucos leaving after this year. He loaded up on jucos. Lets see how he sustains a program and builds it. I prefer someone with more HC experience.

Hearing from incredibly reliable sources that Butch Thompson will be departing Auburn for Mississippi State at seasons end.

No idea if he is legit or anything

Does not seem legit, just a dude with a twitter account

Didn't Cohen say he was going to wait on the college baseball season to be over before announcing a new coach? Of course, presumably he's doing a lot of work in the background.

The new stadium really needs a good product on the field.

Let me also say that butch Thompson is one of the best recruiters around... croots we are on are crazy about him.

I may be mistaken, but wasn't Casey Mize committed to us and then followed Butch to AU?

A) announced after the season? Yep. Could it leak out before then? Absolutely

B) No matter who the new coach ends up being- its going to take another year or two to get some more talent on campus to improve

Good coach, but I dont think he would be the type of recruiter we desperately need.

How would you know or do you know, just asking? I'm just gonna say again what ED wants is one thing, what Cohen, players, and even recruits what may or could be a whole different things.

I'm going sit and enjoy this thing, I do think Cohen will make a good pick regardless what I think and most on ED think?

I am kinda amazed and a little surprised about what I'm hearing, I have a slightly different view now. I do have a decent view anyway if you know what I mean.

I'd rather hold off, I do have an interest, let me give you a hint, he is a HC, he does know a lot about Msu, he is a good recruiter better than what I though actually, he is a pitching coach, he has ties to the SEC from more than one SEC program.

Who this Coach is may not get the job nor want it, but I do know commits and recruits talk about him and hope he gets the job.

The biggest thing I want is a coach that has MLB scouting ties or at the very least assistants that have those. That's what is going to get us where we want to go.

Personally, I'd rather have Brad Bohannon than Butch if we go off of the Cohen tree.

I’m sick of hearing we need more time to get talent on campus. we had to wait for Cohen to build up. Now we get to wait for whoever to build up again. We shouldn’t have these big lulls. Not with the commitment to the program we have. Football is a development program for us, baseball should not be. Go get a coach who will turn us into a top 20-25/fringe regional host discussion type team in “down” years and a national seed and national title contender in peak years. There’s literally no excuse why we can’t have a program with that kinda consistency. Sure 1 or 2 bad years happen, but we have far too many bad years mixed in over the last 15 years. Meanwhile Nichols st beats our ass midweek. Pisses me off, demand better. We have put too much into the program to accept anything less.
