Deep Dive Into The Candidates

[The Federalist Engineer]

Do the regional results play into what happens next?

(1) Parker-Goat winning into Omaha?
(2) Fitzgerald vs Arkansas and Tennessee
(3) Oregon playing into a Super at least.
(4) Bakcik seems proven regardless. Success and emotional deep run would hurt MSU.
(5) sounds like BOC is on the clock to agree or not.

This may be true, and if so it is well-deserved. So why doesn't he take more pride in his appearance? I literally cringe anytime I read his name or see his pic as some kind of representation of MSU. Ok, I'm an old fart and was taught very early on how important first impressions are. "You only get one opportunity to make a first impression."

Lolz... I'm gonna refrain from any more comments on this thread (or at least this topic) because I KNOW how most feel about people that are "different" from them. I'm close to 60 and have lived in MS, AL, GA and TN... believe me, not much has changed in all my years.

Not politics Scooba, but ban on... I don't post much anyway.

Needs to take a bath and wash that nasty head. I don?t care for him but it?s not because how he looks. He is a hypocrite that can?t take the heat but can dish it when it?s convenient for him. A lot of times, he makes it about himself. I can see why Ole Miss fans doesn?t like him. If an Ole Miss beat writer turns us in and puts us on probation, I wouldn?t like him either.

17! Okay one more before the ban. THIS... my whole life. I would "lolz" but it's too 17'n sad.

[Cooterpoot]

I don't believe Bakich is a candidate
BOC is the guy until he says no

I hope so.

[Cooterpoot]

I hope so.

Well, he may tell us no tomorrow but until he does, it's his. I love Was, so I'm good there. Fitz would be a risk and I just don't believe Walter because of the buyout still but whatever the talking heads say. Was is the one who hasn't been getting the talk, not Bakich.

[Coursesuper]

I hope so.

Bakich may very well be a candidate but I don?t believe O?Connor is. I think that our list consists of Waz, Fitz and Bakich. We will all know in 10 days to 2 weeks tops.

[JohnnyQuid]

I don't think the administration is giving Robbie anything either.
I get it, but Robbie IMO, should not give the smart A jabs about being different, when in reality he just does not have information.
Agree on Hadad. It seems to have been a benefit for him for sure.

I listen to t&l and i say this with peace and love but Robbie and hadad don't know **** all about baseball in general much less this coaching search.

[Pancho]

some of us know more than them and could do a radio show and sound more informed. it's quite silly

Yeah no you couldn't

On a coaching search thread on a board meant to talk sports, we've got 3 straight different posters talking about a non-athlete's hair. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. I mean one of them even mentioned pride with their month right around the corner. Their subconscious is screaming at them.

But anyways. I love how much different information is being flung at the wall. Lots of coaches have got their agents angling for them to get a pay raise while the getting is good.

[DownwardDawg]

Yeah no you couldn't

I disagree. I've tried to listen a few times.

[KOdawg1]

I disagree. I've tried to listen a few times.

Cool.

Bakich isn't a candidate. These guys with massive buyouts are using us to get resources, he's not a real option right now. O'Connor could go either way and I won't be surprised by either but we can wait him out. Was is my guy. Fitz after them would be ok but a big risk.

[parabrave]

Next time we go apeshi% over potential head coaches how about posting their resume's and at least their past 5 year record. That way you and the other readers can look at them and ask do we really want this guy?

Waz would be a homerun hire and Fitz would also be a fantastic hire.

I know it wasn't directed towards me, but here you go on the last 5 years for the 5 we seem to be looking at:

Brian O'Conner: 203-96
Erik Bakich: 193-98 (2 Michigan years plus 3 Clemson years)
Mark Wasikowski: 198-97
Dan Fitzgerald: 99-70(only been a D1 HC for 3 years)
Skip Johnson: 179-121

Basically, there's 3 grand slam hires. There's a really good hire that could turn into a grand slam hire. And Skip Johnson is a solid double into the gap.

Fitz is a BIG risk

[StarkVegasSteve]

Fitz is a BIG risk

ANY coach is a risk. This job is a pressure cooker where the expectations do not match the trophy case. You have to live this job 24/7/365. You have to be ok with a fanbase that is not going to just let you do your job. They want to take pictures and have autographs any time they see you in public. There's no privacy with this job. I have just as many reservations about Brian O'Conner, the supposed front runner, as I do any other candidate.

Different tune this morning about O’Connor than yesterday. It went from likely to stay at Virginia to 50/50
