Canes Baseball Coaching Search Thread

[Pitcher in the Rye]

I'm hearing the whole staff is gonna be let go, so step right up and let's hear your dream hires for all roles. Caveat Emptor: Mentioning Lovelady might get you chased by a mob holding torches and pitchforks.

It might be a weird fit and he won’t be an option but I’d love Deggs from Louisiana. His style would work in South Florida. But his cultural style would be strange.

Kingston at South Carolina was a Miami assistant. I would assume he is a no since he’s at a SEC power now but just throwing it out there

Scott Brown Vandy Assistant HC and Pitching coach

Cliff Godwin

Godwin turned down both Miss St and maybe even LSU (I believe). I’d love Godwin but I don’t think he’s coming.

 

[ewcanes]

Just bring me a proven coach at a power 5 or perennial mid-major that’s had success.

This should be a top job in college baseball, it just hasn’t actually been open in 40 years.

 

[Rellyrell]

Scott Brown Vandy Assistant HC and Pitching coach

My absolute numero uno choice to come right in.

Dan McDonnell. He's a proven winner who has had it with the Louisville admin's lack of support of the baseball program.

Still team hire the most qualified coach that will accept the job after a full national search

Godwin turned down both Miss St and maybe even LSU (I believe). I’d love Godwin but I don’t think he’s coming.

I know he wanted to get ECU to CWS before leaving but he's done a lot for that program. Worth a shot

Definitely worth a shot

He could hang with Guidry and Dawson and Orgeron...

This is an interesting one because he’s been linked to the Alabama job.

Target #1 for me: Chris Pollard at Duke

Before he arrived at Duke in 2013, they had not made the NCAA postseason in 50+ years. Since 2013, they’ve made 5 regional appearances and 3 super regional appearances (including this weekend).

He comes from a pitching coach background, and Duke is currently #9 nationally in ERA. Miami finished #68 this year.

He also looks to be in his late 40s, so still on the upside of his career

FUCCIN?!?

 

[Pentagon Cane]

My absolute numero uno choice to come right in.

Well, if we want a coaching savant, then Brown is the guy.

 

[stormsurge]

Tony Vitello?

I don't care how ridiculous I sound

 

[gibby013]

Give me a guy with a “let’s be jerks” mentality all day every day
