    It would be very unusual for someone to clean out their office and pack their shit in their car that is being retained.

    LOL, Sh*t happens. Many years ago I took another job, but didn't sign a contract and went home told school officials, this was on a Friday me accepting and Saturday telling my school i was leaving. Well, school got a package for me and Monday morning I call other school to say I change my mind. Lordy be if you guys would have heard the rant because other school told everyone they had their new Coach! LOL

    The update is there is not one. One camp expects it to be Muscara and one camp thinks the tide has turned to keep Parker.

    The good news is Wake Forest has a bunch of pitchers that entered the portal. They could be waiting to see if he gets a head coaching job. I wouldn't think they would do that if he told them that going back to Wake Forest was an option

    I find it hard to believe that Parker is going to stay personally. He likes autonomy and with O'Connor being a pitching guy and involved with the pitchers some I'm not sure he will be down with that.

    There is a possibility it is neither one of them.

    Muscara likes autonomy as well so you may be right that it is neither of them. I tend to think it is going to be Parker though. No knowledge, just a hunch.

    It's looking like Parker is being retained.

    Tomas Valincius now following Justin Parker…..I think that answers the question.

    Feels like they make an announcement about that tonight, and since there is still some sentimentality from our fanbase to Parker, it will probably create some energy in the crowd.

    It will be a good moment for sentiment. I do agree that I believe we announce the staff tonight. I imagine they will put out a video showing O’Connor announcing assts to the team and there will be a cheer for Parker

    What I hope then is that with O'Connor can help him with his management of the pitching staff. I feel like Parker let some things get out of hand at times this season by trying to steal innings and not recognizing that his pitcher doesn't have it soon enough.

    Oak is not the CEO coach, hands off, like Lemonis, right? Everything I have seen in him is his team takes on his competitive drive.

    I'm OK with this. He has some weaknesses but if he was handcuffed by our NIL we certainly have more now and the players eating it up are gone.

    Also the larger issue was his management of the pitching staff but O'Connor will have more oversight on that I would imagine.
