don't get along. Frankly, Sullivan has under achieved over the years with superior talent, at least in my opinion.
I keep hearing Kevin Sullivan because he and the UF Ath. Dir.
- Thread starter permacock70
- Start date
UF has made the CWS 6 out of 8 years. That is not underachieving. Think what he could do with our facilities and fan support. Underachieving is missing the tournament 2 out of 3 years.
I can't believe how many people believe his body of work at Florida has been under achieving. Clearly a lack of understanding of how difficult it is to make it to Omaha and he's been a regular attendee
I don't think fans that think Kevin undrracheived at Florida know enough about baseball to evaluate him properly.
It's tough to make it to the CWS and you have to have a few lucky bounces to win it all no matter how good your team is

whoever we hire will be an under achiever......ray created a monster
without a doubt. Those two trophies have turned some people insane
WOW! underachieve is such a harsh exaggeration...How many supremely talented teams did Ray Tanner field before he finally broke thru...Getting great talent is part of the job..
Yep, if Chad didn't have to deal with unrealistic, greedy fans he could have missed the tournament every year, had no stress and continued to collect a nice check. Chad should coach at Wingate. That way if he wins or loses, nobody really cares.
Sssshhhhhh...Don't say this. Our "baseball expert" will come in to tell you that Sully is a bum for not winning multiple titles and that he is evil incarnate, since he worked for Clemson for 8 years.
speaking more to the comment that O'Sullivan is an underachiever with 6/8 trips to Omaha. That is quite different than what Holbrook produced.
We all know Kevin Sullivan has underachieved...
But, I'll take Kevin O'Sullivan over Kevin Sullivan any day...
Then Ray should fix the monster, that's what he gets paid to do.
Can't wait to see what no name coach he hires, at least that's my expectation.
history will show, no one has ever fixed a sports monster, u can only feed it or kill them
Not disagreeing, but feeding it I don't see happening. That would cost a lot of $ that USC isn't going to pay.
It took Ray Tanner 14 yrs as a head coach just to make it to Omaha. 23 years as a head coach to win it all. Just to put it in perspective. O'Sullivan could be the next Mike Martin but I'd take 6 trips to Omaha out of 8 over what we had with Holbrook. Not to mention McDonnell and schlosnagle still haven't won one either
agree to an extent but missing the postseason 2 out of the last 3 years cmon
This might be the dumbest post I've ever read on FGF. Considering I've been on here for 20 years that's saying A LOT!

2002 with the Killer B's....and ULALA took us out.
2000...We lost to Texas in the Championship game in 2002.
I don't know Kevin Sullivan had a successful career as the taskmaster in WCW. If you can get past all that devil worship stuff Sullivan did in Florida Championship Wrestling I think he had a good career
Let him under/over achieve where he is. Don't war another coach from Florida. They wii always be Florida!
This! Sully is a great coach. I hate ClemSux as much as any true SC fan, but Sully is NOT a ClemSux alum...he left for a head coaching job in the best conference ...SEC. He has ties input great state and would be a home run for our next coach! But...I'll be surprised if the board approves what it will cost to buy him out. My 2nd choice would be Wake Forest head coach
I agree that Kevin would be a great hire for us but his coaching was not very impressive last night. Played a player with an injured throwing arm, bunted with a runner on second and one out that I disagreed with and left the starter in too long imo. but he won and I haven't won a single college game as a coach so maybe he knows more than me. LOL
I don't know how much he really knows about the situation, but I had a gentleman tell me the other day that O'Sullivan and his wife are separated. She is from SC and is planning to move back here with their child. So an added reason for him to come here is that he can have regular visitation with his child. Anyone else heard this? Could be BS for all I know.

Might have had a successful career in wrestling but has obviously underachieved in baseball. His record is 0-0.
I hope he comes here and under achieves by getting us to Omaha 6 of the next 8 years.
this i can agree with....actually we just have a lot of totally unrealistic fans...
