Many wanted Lamonis few years back. Wonder if he may end up at Citadel?

I thought the same thing, that he may end up back at the Citadel.

Did I miss something? Did the Citadel's head coach get hired somewhere else?

Makes sense. Experienced but not yet drawing Social Security is a plus.
Wish we had thought of that.

Not that I know of. Just an initial thought since he played there

That's fair. I just don't see him being an assistant coach there. He's definitely got a bigger market than that.

O'Connor was looking for an out because apparently there was some strife between him and the AD at UVA. Got that from a UVA donor who put several million into the school, and whose son was on the baseball squad a few years back.

$2.9 million annually (4 years)

He earned $1.5 million annually at Virginia.
