Butch interviewing with Auburn??
Just a rumor I'm hearing.. evidently he, pat murphy, and jack leggette are top 3 choices. Tim Hudson has been thrown around but that has to be like someone mentioning Paul Maholm or Jay Powell rumors with us.

If they give the job to pat Murphy they've lost their minds. Just fired one nut job don't need another.

Leggett is the most qualified of the three.

It will sort of piss me off if he takes it. I'm all about coaches doing what is best for themselves and their families. But I feel like there is a "window" for coaches to jump jobs each year. Once the window is closed, you're part of the team and should be committed to finishing out the year until the window opens again the next year. If a job opening comes up after the window is closed because of illness or because somebody is fired for cause, the season should be finished up by an interim.
Not saying I would blame the guy, but if I were a head coach or an athletic director, I would be done with anybody that jumped ship mid season. This is obviously not exactly mid season, but it doesn't change the fact that he would be leaving his team in a position with limited options for replacing him this year.

Spoiler Alert - Butch is going to be announced later today as the new coach at Auburn.

How will you feel when we poach somebody's pitching coach and they end up being really good?

I'm concerned about a Butch move to Auburn limiting our pipeline for AL talent.

Well shit. I don't mind losing him overall, just hate losing him right now.

This. The timing is awful. Signing day coming up. Season ahead. Going to be tough mid season to find someone. With all that said, he had to take it. Don't blame him a bit.

What kind of question is that? I will be happy that we ended up ok. But do you really think it's likely we upgrade over Butch when we have to go looking in October rather than in the summer?

Yes absolutely. Butch is a heck'uva recruiter. I'm kinda surprised Butch took it to
be honest. He's from N MS and all of his family is still there but I guess career wise he had too take it. I don't think it'll be that much more money though but at least he controls his own destiny.
