Jamos & Baseball Rumors

[Marshal Dillon]

Any names being dropped around T-town about potential hires as the new Tide baseball manager? Is the AD consulting the genius's at the Braves organization for guidance?




 

[Jamos]

There isn't much being said other than some names that the fans would like to see hired. Bill Battle sent out an email that they wouldn't do much about replacing the coach until post season play is over. Now you can read into that however you like but it seems they have their persons of interest but their season isn't over yet.

Yeah, I naturally assumed they were waiting for the end of the College World Series since all the good coaches are in the playoffs. Would have thought 2 or 3 names would have been mentioned & leaked out.

Keep in mind you're asking J, not the press.

Yep, not leaked by him but someone talking to Cecil Hurt.

Bring on Bobby Cox, part-time!  He's not too old and considering he would probably get ejected every other game.

Not a bad idea. I mean, we'd end up in the CWS every year, only to lose, but it's better than what we've had going on lately.

Rumor has it that the short list for the next baseball coach is Cliff Godwin (East Carolina) and David Pierce (Tulane).

I have seen those two names and TCU's coach.

How good was each of these teams? Although neither plays in the SEC. RTR!

Both made regionals and East Carolina made it to a super regional, almost beating Texas Tech, which would have sent them to the CWS.

Jim Scholssnagle is the coach of TCU. They are going to their 3rd consecutive CWS and are 47-16 right now. He has been at TCU 12 years. He makes around $850,000 a year. Read where Pierce of Tulane pursued by Texas. Godwin of East Carolina is coaching at his alma mater. Only been there 2 years. College baseball coaching salaries are jumping up. Bama needs to be prepared to pay at least $1 million a year for its next coach. Gaspard was making around $420,000.

I also read where we are contacting Miss St coach to see if he is interested.

Per the "rumor mill", the search for a new baseball coach isn't going as well as most folks would like. I, like some other folks, thought a new coach would be announced by the end of this week but I'm not so sure of that now. I'm now wondering just how much Bama is willing to pay for a new coach.

With the new facilities, I didn't think it would take that long to get someone. You're right, J, looks like they may need to open up the pocketbook.
