Please not Kevin O` Sullivan!!! If anything, the guy has underachieved imo. It is easy to recruit

[cockydev]

UF game is empty. Granted, it's been raining. Sully has a good resume but I'm not sure if he carries himself the right way on the field.

 

[bushmastercock]

Keep in mind O Sullivan's win pct at FU is basically the same as Holbrook's was

Are you seriously comparing what O'Sullivan has done at Florida to what Holbrook didn't do here as the same?

 

[atl-cock]

I could win the master's or atleast make good money with that score . Thanks

No.

 

[Art__Vandelay]

Been to Omaha 5 of the past 7 years and has a chance to make it 6 of 8. If that's "underacheiving," sign me up to be an underachiever.

State your case for not wanting him, but I don't think his resume should be one of the reasons

 

[USCAndy]

O'Sullivan will not be our next coach.
Fact

You have no way of knowing that: Fact!

Believe he makes $1.4M. We won't match that plus whatever raise UF is willing to kick in, so I'd say he's pretty much correct in his assessment.

According to this article O'Sullivan's base salary is about 387k. Not sure where all the money is coming from after unis/apparel $ but Holbrook's was 400k. Also his buyout drops to $750k in July

 

[cocknjax]

Where did I say I was ok with his record? Because I did not. I have always said that he's underachieved and he's exactly like Jack Leggett. Not what we need.

Next candidate! I personally don't care for him either, not that that will carry any hay.

And so are the 6 trips to Omaha???

Oh I'm not disagreeing. Just making a point that it only takes a handful of games to drastically change the perception of a season, etc. two more sec wins this year probably puts us in a regional. Two more wins against osu puts us in Omaha last year.

 

[flatwoodcock]

baseball players to Gainesville, FL. What does he have to show for it? Yes they are always good but it seems like someone always upsets them. They have had a tremendous amount of talent over the years and no NC to show for it. A Jackleg clone to boot - aloof, arrogant. He is very annoying as a coach - remember his tactics including slowing the game down various ways, changing pitchers at the drop of a hat all the time. He is not very animated, looks like a bump on a log most of the time. Please pass on him Ray! Corbin is about the same but at least he has won a N.C. O` Connor would be fine. Still, McDonald of Louisville would be #1 on my list, but Papa Johns can get him a lot of free pizza up there so he may not want to leave. Thick crust please while you`re at it.

Hasn't he been to Omaha 3 out of the last 5 years?

 

[king ward]

Highly highly doubt we get him but I'd take that resume in a second. Only thing missing is a title. He puts a contender on the field every year.

We'd be lucky to have him. I don't understand how anyone thinks we wouldn't.

Well said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Prying O'Sullivan from UF seems pretty remote. Being completely subjective what do we have to offer that he doesn't have right now.

7,000 butts in the seats instead of a few thousand.

 

[wallycock]

Good coach, no doubt, but there's one thing that bothers me about him. He's an ex-tater. Every time I see him or hear his name, all I see in my mind is ... JACK LEGGET!!! So, no, I don't think I can get over that, and I hope he isn't the guy.

Agree, he kinda reminds me of a yankee city manager I used to have to deal with down here. Just came across as an arrogant know-it-all SOB. In the city manager's case, he was an arrogant SOB. I don't know that about Sullivan, who might be nicest guy on planet, but he just looks like he's an arrogant SOB.

I don't like arrogant SOBs. Life's too full of them already to have one running a team you pull for.

He's not anywhere close to Legget. O'Sullivan is a top tier coach.

 

[FORKCOCK]

I'll take his underachieving over Holbrook's underachieving any day of the week.
