    Pitching Coach Candidates

    Not listed by choice or likelihood

    • Ostrander -USM
    • Mascara- Wake Forest (the Hot Name)
    • Kyle Bunn - Houston (the roommate)
    • Micha Posey - Dallas Baptist
    • Roger Williams - Louisville (long term UL coach)
    • Jerry Oakes - Elon
    • Jason Jackson - Alabama
    • Austin Knight - East Carolina (former Ole Miss player)
    • Sean Snedeker - Lamar


    I would happy to welcome the Bama coach as a proven SEC coach and succeeding in performance and recruiting. Ostrander is the leading USM HC candidate. Mascara is now widely acknowledged as the developer of WFs pitching success, so he would be on many Schools HC radar.

    Ostrander has been named head coach. That was a done deal a couple years ago.

    You literally missed the one that is already penciled in unofficially.

    Frank Anderson at Tennessee is making $360k. He was a head coach at Houston and at Ok state where he took both to postseason regularly. Top 20 pitching staff nationally the last 5 years. If I'm lemonis, I throw the bank at him and flip Vitello the bird.

    I'm not enamored with that rumor, I'm just hoping it's not true.

    If it works, great. If it doesn't, then we should be looking for a new HC next year

    Jackson-Bama
    Mascara-Wake Forest

    Both studs. Byrne isn't likely to let Jackson get away though.

    The rumored candidate is one of the elite pitching coaches in college baseball.

    Then Byrne has to give him the big job. He might just do that.

    What?? You don't think that a P5 head coach in his second season would leave to become an assistant under a guy with a huge bullseye on his back next year? Seems perfectly logical to me.*****

    I gather it's a dude from Ok State - Rob Walton

    NJ guy, HC experience at Oral Roberts (Tulsa-Ok) that played at OKState in the 80s and then has coached there for 10 or so years. Seems that he likes Stillwater.

    Haha these names on here so far are hilarious. We have two head coaches named as potential pitching coach candidates.

    Carry on.

    If Lemon was class of 1993 and Bunn was class of 1999, how were they roommates? Was it after college? He was Indiana like Lemon. He went to the supers with ole miss, Clemson, and Alabama, and you would think he could get better talent at MSU
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    And that would be a VERY mediocre hire. I posted in another thread when it came up but here's the guys last 7 years of stats. I go back 7 years because 7 years ago was his best season and I don't want anyone claiming I'm being unfair by "only" going back 3 or 5 seasons.

    These are his staffs last 7 ERA finishes relative to the 9 team BIG-12 conference, starting with '23 and ending with '16:

    5th, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 7th, 6th, 2nd. Total average finish: 5th out of 9.

    If the best we can do is a guy that's putting out slightly below average ERAs in the big 12, god help us.

    Word I've heard is we've hired Muscara, but will not be named until their season completes. Take it for what it's worth.
