    Seems like a lot of smoke… Wonder if they are giving him an audition or is this a “we just need someone to help us finish the year out and call pitches thing…”

    IF it amounts to anything I would assume it's an interim.

    On this board, I suggested him several weeks ago and was immediately shouted down by someone who posted we'd never get him off the bar stool at one of his restaurants.

    Dude was a great pitcher that was in the game for a long time. I am sure he can teach our dudes to have a killer instinct and call pitches. Hell, I can also do that.

    I don't know anything about Oswalts personal life, but he grew up and still is a State fan, chooses to like in Starkville, and is retired.

    I never thought it was a dumb idea that he'd volunteer 2 months of his time to be our intern PC. Why not? Why wouldn't he do it? Man's been retired for 10 years maybe getting "back in the game" with a short term no strings attached local gig is what he wants

    I could be all in with Him. I hope that is a real tweet and it’s a hint what he might do.

    What about Gary Rath? At least he does have JC coaching experience!

    Let's be honest an interim doesn't do anything. He can't change mechanics, etc etc. this staff has been terrible. We aren't going to a regional. It really doesn't matter. Rath was an all time bulldog on the mound!!! Incredible competitor!!

    If he wants to do it as an interim why not?

    Not sure I want him to be the full time pitching coach though because of the recruiting angle- no idea if he would or could be good at that or not.

    Bo Bounds just emphatically said Oswalt will not be the pitching coach and that Oswalt was going to the Kentucky Derby.

    Because I have no idea. To bring in someone temporary until the season ends to call pitches/ go through the motions in practice, how bad of an idea would that be? Yall always say once the season starts there isn't much change in things anyway

    Sounds like he's a done deal then! Welcome Roy!
