Tears Geo says JD has been hired

[HurricanePhilly]

I am not a big social media guy but I have been on twitter reading comments across like 3-4 of the main "Announcement" tweets about the hire.

I have to say this is about as unified as this fan base has been on a topic in my memory. DiMare, Diaz, Shannon, Golden, Richt, L, assistant hires, etc. You can always find supporters, valid arguments on why it might work, etc.

This hire. I'd say 90% is not pleased.

So JD has a chance to really stick it to a fan base win or lose.

So much for Rad being an AD that would bring about the changes needed. There should have been a clean sweep instead of more of the same but nope we have to promote from within over and over with the exact same results. It’s a Canes thing and I will never understand!!!

Hey Rad....

I guess we are resurrecting the Randy Shannon/Manny Diaz game plan of promoting assistants since that's worked out so well in the past.

A competent search goes back to the drawing board then, not to someone who shouldn't have even been Plan D. The '24 season is already toast, might as well blow it up like FSU did until you find someone proven.

Im guessing you mean FSU blow it up by hiring Martins son for cheap while waiting for Link? Honestly if you cant get a stud coach just promote from within for pennies and wait.

Tried to find the right words…..nothing besides this sucks!!!

 

[BradTheBearKiller]

Rad is getting brutalized.

That was a lazy *** hire!!!

 

[gacaneaddict]

Worst part of sports, college in particular, is when a team you like makes a terrible coaching hire and everyone knows it but the AD. Knowing that for at least 3-4 years you’re wasting time until the coach is inevitably fired is the biggest disappointment. Fly the banner for Rad, hes no different than Blake

Spot on

I thought the same thing

I don’t follow the baseball program too closely. In all seriousness, is there anything positive when it comes to JD? Is he more into analytics? Better recruiter? Forward thinking? I’m genuinely asking.

The staff is gonna be just as laughable. Ever heard of Mike Tosar?

Here is an article about him, he actually seems kinda decent so at least this looks promising.

Report: Mike Tosar to be named White Sox hitting coach | Sox On 35th

According to multiple reports, the White Sox are set to hire Royals Special Assignment Hitting Coach Mike Tosar as their Hitting Coach.

I feel like this would be like if they fired Diaz and hired Enos. Or fired Mario last year to hire Gattass. Speechless. Potentially worst hire I’ve seen at this school and that’s a remarkable accomplishment.

Most amazing part is I’m not even that shocked.

This is disappointing, but JD better get to work.

Seems like he will step back and hire a pitching coach so that’s gonna be the most important hire this off-season, we just can’t keep falling behind in that department, we’re not anywhere close to the teams in Omaha this season in that regard.

A good hitting coach is a must too, we have to change our approach moving forward.

Yes this hire sucks, but it’s over and time to see what happens.

This isn’t the old days where you need to wait 2-3 years for recruits to pan out, go out and get impact transfers now and lessen the damage our massive departures are going to leave.

ARod and JD are Westminster buddies.

ARod is one of the richest UM donors around.

Rad is like Blake James. Interested in fundraising (to build big buildings).

ARod goes to Rad and says, hire my buddy and you get a seven figure check.

This is the only logical explanation for such a putrid hire.

Fixed it for you

This hiring decision tells me Rad drinks Bud Light and shops at Target.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

2-3 more years is the sweet spot if I were betting

So you think he's out after tuition remission and the pension vest?
