Ray Tanner at CWS...what does that tell us???
- Thread starter cockswin10
- Start date
I don't think location means anything here. He's on the baseball committee and has to be there.
With his access to the schools jet he can interview anybody anywhere he needs to.

The man's team shutdown Rosenblatt. I'm thinking he probably has a key to the city now.
We not only shut down Rosenblatt, we christened TD Ameritrade Park as well!

Although it could be true he has to be there but he also has a coach to hire so do the math. I don't think he told a coaching prospect "hey just meet me at the park". He's working.
Where are you guys coming up with "he has to be there"?. He is the AD at the university of South Carolina, I doubt he has to be at the cws for the entire event. He has a coach to hire, if he's just hanging out, he needs to resign from the committee and focus on USC

It was opening weekend of the CWS, and yes, the committee is usually in attendance for opening ceremonies and games over the weekend. Whether or not he stays is up to him. And if our future coach IS coaching in the CWS, what better place to meet with said coach? It's not as if the coach can just leave the CWS to come to Columbia for an interview.
It's not as if he's out there, watching the CWS for the heck of it.
So you're saying he doesn't have to be there? Or you're saying you don't know, which is probably the more likely answer.

When he was coaching he said he wouldn't go unless his team was there. However, now that has changed, obviously.
He said he wouldn't go "until " he took a team there. 2 different things

With the qualifier "When he was coaching..." at the beginning of my statement, they mean the same thing.
Don't think for a second Ray ain't working. He's evaluating his next possible coach otherwise he would on the phone or somewhere else interviewing. He might love the game but I'm sure he loves his job more. He is on the job.
When he was coaching, he said he wouldn't go to Omaha "until " he takes a team there. You said that has obviously changed. I guess if you are saying he's not coaching anymore, who don't know that?

If he were in Columbia and not interviewing anyone because his targets are in Omaha, everyone would be complaining that he was here and not there making contact with them in some way.
At this point people are complaining just to complain.

Could be his duty to be there as a committee member and could be to look at 2 prospective coaches and hopefully his being there will bring results.
He s on the selection committee, and the committee attends the first round of games. He is coming back tomorrow. And, no, I don't think he is out there interviewing.
Why not? You don't take days off your job to relax? Christ some of you guys seem to think these jobs are 24/7
I can't imagine any Head coach or Assistant whose team is playing in the CWS interviewing for any job. Now if Ray's target is not coaching now, them perhaps that would be a good place to rendezvous.
I am now dumber for reading this post. That is all.
Gosh people.......

Sources to prove you are dumber?
I heard Tanner's return flight has a layover in Chicago. I believe it's going to be Joe Maddon.
Ray, get us a top flight coach!
Go Gamecocks!
