It's very simple. Don't focus on one guy. Kick the tires on Vitello and go all in on him but at the same time talk to Sabins at West Virginia and Vaughn at Alabama. Maybe Saarloos at TCU too. If they all act weird go get Coggin.

Cohen would go all in on Vitello and if he said no he would panic and beg Corbin and then settle for Elander because Vitello recommended him.

Any of the four I just mentioned in the first paragraph would be awesome. Vaughn might be able to bring Lebron with him. Sabins is known for player development and will actually have resources at MSU. Coggin is elite in the portal and we could use that.

Nobody is leaving an SEC job to come to State.

And most likely no high level P4 job.

There's a chance for Vaughn now because Early has righted the ship in College Station. You give me Vaughn and Lebron and I'll start booking Omaha.

Rob Vaughn might. He's a distant 3rd fiddle at Bama. He'd have baseball only boosters here. We may not be more attractive than a lot of SEC jobs, but we are more attractive than Bama.

Mingione would walk through hell in a gasoline suit if we offered him our job.

And if Fowler doesn't go pro he's probably ours no matter who our coach is.

I thought that way back when but the word is now that he loves being more north. And then secondly- would hate to see us hire a clown as HC

If he said that someone from MSU told him he wasn't going to be offered our job.

I don't think he is that good anyway so not a big deal.

That's the word because he's not getting our job. He'd probably be behind Coggin.

But Mingione would walk on broken glass to come take our job.

Corbin is old and its too late to leave
Sully almost no chance unless he felt like things were getting stale at Fla. He is at the end of an age gap where it would make sense but if he is at Fla another couple years he's never leaving
Tenn is going to build a statue for Vitello before he leaves
Kentucky's coach is a clown
Manieri is too old
Mizzou's coach shouldnt even be a juco HC
A&M's just got his gig
Schloss will retire at Texas with his buddy there
Johnson will retire at LSU
Mini-me aint leaving Georgia- would use this for a pay raise.
Butch is solid where he is
Vaughn is just getting everything in place at Bama. Highly unlikely he bolts. Cant even beat Lemon
Skip has OU where he wants it and is 58. Highly unlikely
Bunko saved his job for another couple of years this season it looks like
UPig's huckleberry should be grooming his successor

We are hiring a Top Asst or the HC from somewhere like Purdue or some shit as we have with our last 2 hires

Don't forget that Cohen isn't running this search. He completely botched the last search running his mouth. Selmon isn't going to do that. He also hired Cann which happened at a weird time to hire a head baseball coach. Was essentially like Ole Miss hiring Luke after the Freeze scandal.

If Cohen was our AD he would be telling Bo Bounds that we're going to hire a sitting SEC head coach who has a NC and a beard. And then end up with Elander.

Coggin might be the favorite right now to get the job but we're going to probably end up with someone like Sabins at West Virginia.

Cohen saying that on Bo Bound's show didnt affect anything about the search. All it did was raise expectations by our fanbase that shouldnt have been raised in the 1st place. It had no effect on who was willing to take our job. I certainly think we could get someone like the coach at WV. Hiring a top asst could be an awesome hire as well. it's working well for Tenn and had Cann not been an idiot he was laying some groundwork here for us.

Can Lemon pull a 2022 Bunko out of his ass? Clock's ticking. Gonna be an interesting May

It absolutely took away our leverage to hire Schlossnagle. No reason to put it out there publicly at all. Schlossnagle may have been our coach if it wasn't the worst kept secret in baseball.

Nor should he be. His resume isn't as good as Sabins or Vaughn.

Part of that was Schloss himself. He confirmed to the TCU media in their after the season meeting that he essentially was going to take our job. Then when TCU pressed him to inform them he tried to force our hand to go ahead and announce while we were still playing. I still think we should have done it. Cohen knew Gary Henderson was not getting that job. We also should have listened when he tried to meet with Cohen in Omaha.

I've never really understood this. Why would Schloss need us to announce it? I get that TCU may have been pressing him but why couldn't he just tell them behind closed doors until we finished?
