RE: the next skipper

You want the guy that will take YOUR team to the CWS, not necessarily they guy that has been there before with another team (not that it can't be both). It's disappointing that unfortunate statements were made which served to tip our hand more than anything, but we need to find the right guy for us, not just the next guy. It's critical that Cohen gets this hire right, so in that spirit, let's relax a bit and ease off the pressure. We are still one of 16 teams that can win a national title this season. Let's not lose our heads here. And John, reach down deep and find your inner ninja in the shadows for this next hire. It has not been a great look so far, but I think you can pull off the right hire.

What about Gautreau? Is he too inexperienced? I think he will be a head coach at some point.

Anxiously awaiting Kendall Rogers' next big announcement about "who's in the mix (for a huge raise)."

I don't follow college baseball well enough to have a preference for the next head coach. However, is there any chance that Cohen goes back to one of these guys with more money? Kind of like the way Bama kept begging Saban, or Florida kept begging Stricklin? Do we have that kind of money to spend, and do we want one of those guys bad enough?

I misread the title and thought impp was breaking the news on another coaching hire

No. Yes.

Not sure we want to pay our baseball coach more than the football coach.
