    Auburn has the same thing in Gabe Gross. It?s the new angle schools are using and using well.

    Makes me wonder if we should try to hire Chris Young.

    I could also foresee something in the future where we have three full time assistants- Foxhall, Gautreau, and Cheese for example and then have a volunteer assistant who is a MLB guy that is a former player like a Jay Powell on the staff.

    I know that Auburn's Tim Hudson was a very good Pro (All Star, but not HOF), but Gabe Gross was a bit player. He did last 6 or 7 years, that has to be respected

    If you were choosing between Foxhall and a one armed, one legged, blind pitching coach, you'd go somewhere else too.

    State people trying to make themselves feel better because Skenes chose LSU.

    Foxhall lost
    They offered more money
    This is the new normal

    usually a safe assumption. if it was due to pitching coach, then that's a problem too.

    That's not true. Other factors definitely impacted it, but money absolutely played into the decision.

    Exactly. Money is always a factor. It may not have the only reason- but it absolutely played a part.

    It wasn't about money, instead it was about money.

    Very rarely will someone come out and say they made their decision based on money. Look at pro free agents when they?ve been with a team their whole career then sign a massive contract with another team.

    It?s always: ?Great organization with a culture around winning championships.?

    ?I?ve always wanted to play with ______ or play for ______.?

    Etc etc.
