As you will notice we have a ton of candidates! Cal St Fullerton - Dave Serrano, Rick Vanderhook, Chad Baum Texas - Tommy Harmon, Tom Holliday Oregon St - Marty Lees, Dan Spencer, Nate Yeskie, Andy Jenkins Fresno St - Pat Waer, Matt Curtis, Mike Mayne LSU - Javi Sanchez, David Grewe, Wes Johnson, Josh Jordan, Marc Wanaka South Carolina - Chad Holbrook, Mark Calvi, Sammy Esposito, Jerry Meyers Arizona - Shaun Cole, Matt Siegel, Brett Scyphers UCLA - Jake Silverman, TJ Bruce, Rex Peters Vandy - Scott Brown, Travis Jewett, Drew Hedman, Mike Baxter Virginia - Kevin McMullan, Karl Kuhn, Matt Kirby Coastal Carolina - Kevin Schnall, Drew Thomas, Matt Schilling Florida - Craig Bell, Brad Weitzel Miss St - Scott Foxhall, Jake Gautreau Ole Miss - Mike Clement, Car Lafferty Any of these guys has taken their team to the CWS in 3 of the last 7 seasons? Won 3 conference championships? Won 4 Regionals? National Coach of the Year? Yes, Pierce has a won a national championship as a coach. Is that a negative thing? Vitello and Bakich haven't. Hell, Bakich still has to use Yelp to find a restaurant in Omaha.
June 10, 20241 yr The only national championship series I care about after 7 full seasons at Texas is the one Pierce has never coached.

June 10, 20241 yr We're looking at eight head coaches who were able to recruit, train, and coach their teams into the CWS. Our own head coach recruited, trained, and coached our team to - at best - the 33rd ranked team in the country. To dismiss all of the 32 more highly ranked teams' coaches as not better choices is the absolute pinnacle of stupidity. Those who appear to be doing exactly that, you know who you are, and so do the rest of us. Stop it.

Otherwise we should definitely scratch Jay Johnson off the list, as LSU had a worse season than we did and also lost in a regional.

Jay is definitely - as horrible as his season has been - in the list of the other 24 with a better finish than 33rd. So, let's see - you're going to dismiss one of the top 32. How about that last 31, are we to go through them and dismiss them all as either even worse than Pierce or just coated with unobtainium? No, we're not. Sorry, just a little knee-jerk trolling. Maybe the problem is in or around Del Conte's office? Have we been denying Pierce resources he needs to build the program? He hasn't done it in seven years so far, so he's had as much of a chance as Strong and Herman combined. Shall we go ahead and extend him for another seven and see where that goes? Nah, you're right - we seem to agree, generally. I don't have a huge hardon for either Vitello or Bakich, or anyone else. We need to make a change, and shitting on various candidates - either deservedly or not - is not very productive at this point. I lean toward the idea that Del Conte already has his coach and is okay with letting him finish the CWS before officially announcing Pierce's firing. If it's Bakich, we'll know in a few days, but if it's one of the CWS coaches, it'l be a couple of weeks yet.
June 10, 20241 yr Give me a coach that has stayed in an awful lot of hotel rooms on the recruiting trail. Give me a coach that is not afraid to talk to reporters when you put a mic in front of his face.
