World Famous Third Base Hecklers for coach, rouge cock for third base coach and Rod Dangerfield for jock washer. The dream team right there.
This will be a deciding factor.If he is brought back next year it will be a huge mistake....probably 20 wins and 1000 fans a game attendance.
He and Tanner don't get along. That is not going to happen.Gary Gilmore.
I'd wait 1 more year on Holbrook just to be sure and see how Brett Harker develops at Furman. He's a young baseball guy with a great background, and he'll be at a power 5 school before too long.
I'm still all in with South Carolina until a change is made IF its made. Got it?I see you're still all in with Holbroke.
Good Lord, can you even remember our last SEC series win? Holbroke not only drove this program in the ground, he poisoned it and covered it up with dirt.

I like Lee a lot, but he wouldn't be in my top four!
He has not even been there a full year yet. You can make that determination on such a small sample size?MLee is the best coach in the country bar none. Look what he's doing at Clemson with bad pitching.
This is his second year.He has not even been there a full year yet. You can make that determination on such a small sample size?
The first two on your list are Leggett disciples. And one has a similar reputation as Holbrook....good recruiter, average coach.I don't know exactly who would be my top target but my list would look something like this: (I'll mention schools since I know a lot of people won't be familiar with names)
Vanderbilt
Florida
Oklahoma St
Virginia
Clemson
If we can't get one of those:
Davidson
Indiana
Eastern Michigan
Colorado
Hofstra
Alabama
Dallas Baptist

Yes, both were assistants under Leggett. And while they were in Clemson, Clemson was very good. Right after they left, things really fell off for Clemson.The first two on your list are Leggett disciples. And one has a similar reputation as Holbrook....good recruiter, average coach.

Both have been long gone, have been successful head coaches with multiple trips to Omaha. That is all I would care about as the AD. I would want a proven winner to re-energize my baseball fans.
Personally, I think Corbin is one of those coaches that everybody hates...until he's your team's head coach. If he wore Garnet and Black, his antics would be endearing.
Bring him in. If he wins people won't complain. (Well they will still complain, but won't request him to be fired). If he doesn't win, everyone will say he was terrible and they knew it all along.Any thoughts on Tim Wallace at SMC...junior college...1000+ wins...former high draft pick...AAA with Cards before back injury...heck of a player in his day...many of his players move on to 4 year schools...disciplinarian...good hitting coach...
I don't know anything about him other than what you just wrote. He may be a very good coach if hired. If he were to succeed, of course the fans would love him.Any thoughts on Tim Wallace at SMC...junior college...1000+ wins...former high draft pick...AAA with Cards before back injury...heck of a player in his day...many of his players move on to 4 year schools...disciplinarian...good hitting coach...

Head coaching record[edit]No. O'Sullivan has underachieved greatly at UF.
I've said it 100 times on here, I'll say it once more he was my choice when Holbrook was hired. I have no idea why Tanner would hire an assistant coach with no head-coaching experience even if he was with us through the national titles, and even if he was a great recruiter, when he had Lee who was a gamecock assistant, had left USC to gain head-coaching experience, then took a little ole College of Charleston baseball to the brink of the CWS, who's teams had always given the gamecocks all we could handle when we played them, and maybe even beat us a time or two I can't recall. I was shocked when he was not the obvious choice. But Lee ship has sailed forever. In his first year, he got his team playing well enough last year to win the ACC tournament and get his team into the NCAA field of 64, and hosted a regional. This year, his team will likely be a top eight seed. And one more thing, he's beaten the gamecocks in our annual three-game series in both of his years as a head coach at Clemson. He ain't going nowhere, and Clemson will make sure of that regardless of who comes calling or how much money they throw at him.
You are actually calling a coach an under-achiever because he hasn't won a national championship? He has more "trophies" in his first 9 years than Tanner did at that same point(Ray had 3 SEC Championships and 1 SEC Tournament. Sully has 3 & 2) He and Tanner took over programs in similar situations. Both built their programs into national contenders. O'Sullivan did not inherit a great program. All of that talent he brought to Florida came after he was hired. O'Sullivan's first 9 seasons have been a little more successful than Tanner's first 9 seasons. I don't think anyone thought Tanner was an under-achiever.With the talent he's had - no trophies. THAT is how he's underachieved.
