in a short period you practically ruined USC baseball.
If we are looking for someone to blame for this fiasco, Holbrook is not the guy. Ray Tanner hired a man with no head coaching experience to take over the job of coaching the top college baseball program in the country. OJT AD hiring an OJT head coach without conducting a national search first.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Holbrook was the obvious hire. You may not remember that...but it was a given Chad Holbrook was getting this job when Tanner stepped down. Even if Tanner weren’t AD, Holbrook was getting the job.

Plenty of reasons to be upset / critical. But the Holbrook hire was the right choice at the time. It didn’t work out.
The last hire wasn’t the OBVIOUS choice

Pretty bad when we're nervous about who our AD will hire next...Nope. Like I said, plenty of reasons to be upset. Though it still early for Kingston, though this season, outside of beating Clemson, has been a disaster.
I look at it this way. My #1 reason for giving Frank Martin another season is the hope he can right the ship so that our AD doesn’t have to hire a basketball coach. I would not feel good about that process at all.
Obvious or not, Tanner had an obligation to Carolina to find the best coach available to take over the top program in the country. Regardless of friendship, a national search should have taken place.
It may well have been a given that Chad was going to get the job, but that's a far cry from him being "the obvious hire."Holbrook was the obvious hire.

He turned down other offers from bi g schools to stay here.

Same could be said for the AD position. The best possible candidate should have been hired from a NATIONAL searchObvious or not, Tanner had an obligation to Carolina to find the best coach available to take over the top program in the country. Regardless of friendship, a national search should have taken place.
Yes. Holbrook > KingstonGeeze, still butthurt over Holbrook....Kingston needs to do something about it
Whether or not Holbroke was the obvious hire, Ray held on to him for two years too long. Holbroke should've been given his walking papers after missing the postseason the first time.
But that's the MO (and collective mentality) around here: We don't make a change when things are obviously in a downward spiral. We must wait until it hits rock bottom and everything is obliterated before we make a change. It's the Garnet Way.
How is it Chad when our recruiting classes in Baseball were generally in the top 10 every year?Pay no attention to the idiots behind the curtains on this forum. We have the least knowledgeable posters in sports on this board.
Anyway, just wanted to give you another 'Thanks' for the Sportz TV tip. Gave you a big Shout Out a week or 3 ago. Hope you saw it. Thanks again, friend.

I’m sure we got a couple years of blaming injuries before he is on the hot seat. It’s how we rollDid we follow up one bad hire with another bad hire. I'm not ready to get the hounds after Kingston just yet, certainly want to see what he will do next year. But it doesn't take as much time to build a baseball program as it does a football program.
