Was just about to post Mike's, especially since everyone around here still adores him.
The thing that miffs me is that nobody complaining has really done any research on the man they all post from emotion but I have. It's enough to make a grown jimnasium cry.

Still working for ESPN. He covered a great deal of baseball for them this season on the SEC Network. He still lives in the greater ATL area.

He wasn't my first choice, but honestly, the big names we wanted weren't coming here. They are too well established in their current positions/communities, as Heath made the point this afternoon. But to be honest, how does Kingston's current resume differ all that much from Monte's 2 years ago (or even 5 years ago) when folks were clamoring for him? Ray did his due diligence in this search. We'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

I believe this man will be here long after Monti is run out of Clemson. Just a gut feeling.

I've done plenty. Made He NCAA tourney 3 of 8 years. Ray....you got some explaining to do.
Not really it's the same old culprits....lol. If Vince Lombardi was hired here they would say he didn't coach enough college football first.

I'll be glad to give him the benefit of the doubt, like all of our coaches. But honestly, you have to see why some are not excited.

You meant "splainin'", not "explaining" - it just don't fit here! =;-p
That's because you hate everybody Rod and know nothing about coaching. Still to crying that's why you do best. I called it on Chad resigning and now I'm calling it on this coach making you mum.
I hear you but I like to look at the big picture instead on who the coach played ball with and where he coached. He got some pretty good ball players to come to USF especially pitchers, look at the ERA this year. I don't expect to get back to Omaha next season but I ain't expecting not to either.

At this point...playing at home the first weekend of June would be nice, at the very least.
That would be a start but I just got a good feeling about this guy.

I agree. As I said, I'll be glad to give him the benefit of the doubt as I hope all USC coaches are successful. JMHO, this was a bigger gamble than Muschamp.
So what? Look who he reportedly turned down to come here were they also wrong?
Yep! Some people think coaches are lined up, hands raised, screaming "Hire me, Hire me". It ain't happin' guys. Just because you want someone doesn't mean they want you. Just be glad we got a young, smart man to say "I do".
Looking at this info, nothing looks that great. This year was his best overall. Why is everyone bragging on this?
Because they have to convince themselves that Tanner isn't in WAY over his head.
Because he got better not worse and where he was coaching.
Don't you have some swingers party somewhere in Bennettsville to attend?
This.
Don't live there anymore. I do like to dance sometimes but don't know how to do the swing too fast for me. BTW how was that Gay Pride parade?
