But I'm not sure Butch Thompson wouldn't come. That'd be my top target. What he's done at a non baseball school is impressive. But maybe he wouldn't come here. Partly depends on if he's happy to have Cohen as his boss again
We may have gotten Haire. He just turned down a job that is similar in resources to Florida and a place he could have won a title at if he kept the local talent. A lot less likely going to come here if we show that we'll fire you without giving a coach a chance to make changes. Not to mention we now have more money to work with now for next year. Butch? OK. You can't complain about Walton in the regionals this year and then be OK with Butch.

And who said we can't hire a great coach? Being able to hire a great coach doesn't give us a hall pass to mismanage our program.
