As baseball coach. You've got to think he wouldn't move to AD (if the reports are true) if he didn't have a plan for baseball.

Founds like Cohen already has his guy. Could it be Butch?
I would name Henderson as interim and hire after season unless we can get a top flight guy right now
That would be good.... Mullen to Baseball???Quote:

What about Lane Burroughs?
Bobby Cox and Leo Mazzone
Fredi Gonzalez and roger McDowellQuote:

Just don't repeat this. But if you gonna make it in this business you have to go to Nashville
If he doesn't stay on as baseball coach, which he may, Butch Thompson looks like the choice to me.
Name I've heard is Cannizzaro, LSU hitting coach. This was a week or so ago, so things could change, but that's what I've heard. Cohen really likes him, only hold up is his lack of college experience. Was a Yankees scout for years.
I would like for it to be butch, will be interesting to see it play out
Needs 1-2 more years before he is ready for a job like ours.Quote:

They just did ALL of the small things correct: take extra bases via reading down angle, knowing where position players were playing, noticing position of fielders while catching ball. I could go on for days but out players were simply allowed to play with very little instruction other than situational items. I.e. Sac bunt, hit and run, steal etc.
First two on the list... Initials, JS( may be the best coach in America) and GG.
JJ will def be way up on the list.
Let me say also, I still don't think Cohen gets the job.

Josh Holliday
If you're referring to Schlosnagle, he just inked a 6 year deal worth $1.4 million per year this past summer. He's not leaving TCU/Ft Worth.Quote:

That's one name. There's an assistant at another SEC West school that's in play if it were to be needed. Also, the Nashville thing may have legs. Can't go wrong with any of those 3 IMO.Quote:

Everywhere has advantages and disadvantages. If you go play at Vandy you get to play in front of hundreds of fans who don't care about baseball other than Buster Olney and the guy that whistle's all game long. We can say that you get to play in front of thousands of passionate fans every game and you are treated like a football player on campus.Quote:

Were not getting Coastal Carolinas coach. If im not mistaken, he is at his alma mater and they have a good size upgrade coming. Plus add in he just took down the field and natty...
