Jarrett would be my #1 choice, but why would he leave a storied baseball program that is his alma mater? O'Connor would be a bit more realistic but still a stretch as he has been comfy at UVA. I think we get Elander or Coggin if we go assistant route. Head coaching route probably Mingione or Pollard or Sabins.
Vitello is 0%. He is the highest paid HC in the country. We cant afford Vitello. It would take 4-4.5MM per year to hire him if he would even agree. Thats not happening.
Heefner- the hardcore Baptist- is going to leave to go coach at a place famous for its drinking and cooking during ballgames?? Good luck on that one as well.

Now a couple of good coaches at places that arent willing to spend much money in this NIL Era- yes. That could happen and benefit us. That's our best chance at landing a big fish. If we cant get lucky there- then it's either lower P4/G5/Top Asst
