Wow. People here would lose their minds if he turned us down.
Probably a good decision by him. I don't know how he'd handle their fan base. My guess is not well.
This! Baseball is just a totally different animal than football or basketball.Quote:

He didn't turn them down. He was allowed to save face.
Excellent news. Soon Lemonis will be the next name up, and I think Selmon will let him walk.
Well for him especially given his son is the starting SS and he has other sons in the pipeline (?25/?27) that will all likely play for himQuote:

The current estimate from the census bureau for Jackson is 139k for additional perspective.
How sad is that! They should have made Kosciusko the capital city.Quote:

And as a baseball coach- Heefner is elite. The stats don't lie.
We would pretty much always have an elite pitching coach with him- this is the guy that developed Wes Johnson. And their hitting stats are really good too. If his hitting coach were to take over at DBU in a scenario where we hired Heefner we could and should call home Austin Cousino from Kentucky to be our hitting coach. His resume' is very similar to Cann's.
If Heefner were in the SEC I think pitchers would flock to us. He is one of the most respected pitching guys in the game.
Heefner is never leaving Texas, he's pretty much said as much
Nobody turning down A&M is coming to StarkVegas
Their Hitting Coach is taking the head coaching job.
