Butch gone

The Cohen statement last night was weird BC he knew he had taken the job. Wes Johnson of Dallas Baptist should be considered.

We can do much better than that. If we lost Brian Johnson, I don't want John Bond coming to coach quarterbacks in 2016.

The coach has to be a good recruiter too. Oswalt never has done it.

No shot. Wes Johnson is the no brainer option

He wouldn't touch it. Too much time away from hunting. Hell being a college coach is way worse on your time than a pro player. Plus he doesn't need the money.

So....this has been going on for weeks now. Where is the confirmation?

The confirmation is when Butch travels to a Auburn and is introduced. That is how it usually happens.

To have the news so early in the morning means it was a done deal a few days ago. Just waiting until the fall was overwith.

Really? Never thought of that.

You really need to cut it out with the pretentiousness, pal. It was a simple question. I think anybody with a brain knew I was asking for a link or some other type of tangible evidence, or at least something specific.

Don't ask such silly question next time. Auburns not going to do anything until he shows up. Grow up.

Did you even read my post? Grow up? Ha, sure thing grandpaw. Media is little different now than in 1975.

I was just curious. I knew he was around the program a good bit and is a starkville resident. Yeah Wes Johnson would be great.

I definitely like having Oswalt (and to a better extent, other actual MSU baseball alumni) around the program, but I'm not sure I want them coaching, because then you have that work relationship thing going on. I think those ex-players are right where they need to be - on the periphery, donating money and helping recruit simply by their presence. I REALLY wish we could get Palmeiro back around Starkville. He says he wants to be around baseball, no better place for him IMO.

Thanks. Oh well, bring on the replacements I guess.

D1 is publishing their replacement list soon.

Rogers is as dialed in so it is likely next guy up is on the list.

Better take Howland with him to lunch.

Jason Dietrich, Cal State Fullerton

Considered the clear-cut candidate to replace Butch Thompson at Mississippi State, Dietrich is someone that a lot of Bulldogs fans probably aren’t familiar with, but who now should be. Dietrich has done an amazing job in his last two seasons as Cal State Fullerton’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Dietrich has guided two of the nation’s elite pitching staffs the last two years, even helping the staff succeed at a high level this past season and get to the College World Series despite losing starting pitcher Justin Garza for the year because of an injury. Dietrich opens up some Southern California recruiting ties, and also has high acclaim from his peers on the West Coast from past stints at places like UC Irvine, where he worked under legendary head coach Mike Gillespie. The expectation at this point is that Dietrich will be the hire for the Bulldogs, but it’s still early in the process.

We need to go get Roy Oswalt.

Dietrich is a Cal State- Fullerton alum. Not sure why he is considered the leading candidate?

Just because you were a great baseball player does not mean you will be a great coach. Ask Ted Williams about his managerial career.

The only capacity a guy like Oswalt should be in would be as a volunteer assistant at this point.

Wes Johnson makes more sense to me.

My contact in Southern California told me Dietrich is a superb coach and a hell of a recruiter. Quote.

Drew Dickinson is really young. He's also an Illinois alum. Good resume though.

Todd, wouldn't we pay considerably more than Fullerton? Also, branching out and having success at multiple baseball schools would have to help his resume as far as getting a head job.

Rob Smith is Ohio's HEAD COACH. Why would he leave that to be a pitching coach in the SEC?
