Does he call every pitch on the walkie talkie? A head coach calling every pitch?
Bianco built Ole Miss into a respectable program. He took advantage of us being down with Polk II.
He’s upgraded their facilities, they recruit well, draw large crowds, and generally make post season play, sometimes hosting regionals and supers. He’s done a lot for that university.
However, I think even the biggest Bianco supporting Ole Miss fan is ready for him to go. He soured a lot of them by interviewing for the LSU job last year, and now they aren’t good this year, I would be surprised if they don’t make a move after the season. They will probably let him “retire from coaching” and offer him a random job in the athletic department as a gesture of good will, then go coach hunting.
You know they are going to try to make a splash hire no matter how much money it costs. I hope the big names tell them no thanks.
22 seasons as coach and 1 trip to Omaha is apparently tolerable with their base With some of the teams he has had. Losing 2 super regionals at home if I recall.
Been hearing for years that they can get Dan Mcdonell whenever they want…,

He's also hosted 3 regionals and then 3 more super regionals. That means 6 stellar regular seasons. Postseason involves a lot of good fortune.They’ve never won a Super Regional at home (0-3) and have also lost three home Regionals under his watch.
McDonnell more likely to come work with Lemonis than coach at Ole Miss.Been hearing for years that they can get Dan Mcdonell whenever they want…,
Yep. And he's got incredible central Florida connections. Amazing the talent they've been able to pull out of the Orlando metro.Bianco has shown an ability to recruit outside Mississippi and the immediate area that I’d be concerned another coach might not have. I don’t think they can maintain their talent level without it.
That ship may have sailed

Barring something unexpected, it will be Cliff Godwin from ECU.
This!!! I hope he stays there for 20 more years. He is doing a fine job.They’ve only been to Omaha once in the last 50 years. He’s overachieved given their history. I say let him retire when he is ready.
