Yeah- I think that was the mistake here. It got out too soon and for some reason a lot of people- reputable people- thought it was an absolute done deal.

And honestly, looking at D1's pitching coach candidate list, I think Johnson is the most likely to come. Dickinson is an Illinois alum. Woodward is at Virginia Tech and a UNC alum and I could see him being interested.

But Johnson has spent a lot of time in Arkansas and he has been at places like Arkansas Monticello before. I don't think Starkville is going to shock him, his wife or his dog.
