Baseball coaching question

[TNDawg35]

We're not good enough!! Our dick isnt that big**

Make other schools pay up or lose their guy. Its simple. We are too nice

THIS!!! Money talks... Throw the bank at a big name. We wanna play with the big boys and go to Omaha 4 straight like TCU or the Ville, pay some big ass money and get the big name... We got a $55 million stadium for god sakes.

Salary survey for professional Milb and MLB baseball coaches

- major league coaches make between $5M and $0.750M
- basically joe maddon makes $5M and the rest make punk money compared to elite college coaches
- mike Matheny makes 750k to coach the cardinals and is KiND OF my neighbor- embarrassing
- AAA managers make $100K
- A managers make $45K

Im being crazy but why don?t we go after Mike Matheny or other pro guys. This appears like a bad-ass arbitrage opportunity. MLB treats coaches like expendable baby sitters and College Baseball worships them like super respected uncles

Corbin couldnt be a bullpen hand in MLB, but could make 2M at MSU! Im going to tell Mrs Matheny

Well, by the same token Schlossnagle, probably Corbin, and McDonnell make more than Mike Matheny too. And let's be honest- the Cardinals are getting what they paid for plus he needs to perform with this new coaching staff or he could be fired.

The problem with going after pro guys is sometimes they don't recruit very well. Some of them think that the fact that they managed the Cardinals or whoever will get recruits to just sign up without much effort and it just doesn't work that way. See Don Kessinger at Ole Miss.

It’s a different game for sure and you have to get the right person for the recruiting variable

But that’s why you get Boras Corp guys as assistants, like Jake G

The pitch to elite kids is that you are getting actual pro-development in college and would be an honest pitch from a true pro coach versus “Goof Troop” Miningone or Sleazy Paul Manieri

I agree. The scouts "get it" more than someone that just coaches in pro ball normally. Probably because part of their job is recruiting to a degree. But like you said, they have experience is pro baseball too and they know that side of it as well because scouting minor leaguers is part of their job as well.
