Tadlock played at Texas Tech. It is kind of like Cohen coming to MSU. I doubt Tadlock ever leaves unless there is some issue with the Administration that doesn't support baseball or he gets an offer that Texas Tech isn't willing to come close to.

This is exactly what Richard Cross said on H2H yesterday. Bianco has no baggage, either personal or with the NCAA. Like someone else said, he checks all the boxes. He would be the "easy" hire as well. You know Ben McDonald is probably pushing him too.
Truth. I don't think I like the idea of bianco at lsu. It's not Saban like scary, but concerning. He will get better talent. Better facalities. He will still be bianco though in the end. Does that mean losing a home regional more often than not? Hard to say
Plus it's nice having our punching back in Oxford now that we have turned things around. No need for them to make a new hire that's gonna make us work harder.
I honestly thing Bianco would be a great pick for LSU. Dude has made Ole Miss who they are. Whether they like it or not, he is Ole Miss baseball. He has recruited well and besides some boneheaded mistakes, he has done a great job.
And I think he takes it in a heartbeat. Ole Miss people are crazy wanting him gone…
Schloss was pretty open about being interested in our job. Then he "withdrew his name". At the time there were different stories, but the two main ones were (1) Schloss was pushing Cohen to announce before the team finished up in the CWS and when Cohen wouldn't, Schloss had a hissy fit and withdrew his name and (2) Cohen was ready to go with Schloss, but Schloss going public with information and then some of the "issues" that were never really clearly defined soured Cohen on Schloss.
Some of those issues are likely why he is going through a divorce right now
I am not very familiar with other SEC towns being from Pennsylvania besides Starkville and Oxford, but besides schools like UT, Vandy, South Carolina which reside in more metropolitan areas I kind of thought they were similar. I know Tuscaloosa and College Station are a lot bigger with more happening as that?s really the only 2 ones I?ve been too. I kind of assumed Baton Rouge, Gainesville, Athens, Columbia MO, Fayetteville etc we?re all about the same as Starkville and Oxford
