I wonder who Ray has as his top five to replace Kingston after this year?
- Thread starter gamecox4982
- Start date
As I've posted in another thread, RT returning to the dugout has an equal probability to USC returning to the ACC.
Now it would behoove RT to be vetting potential replacements (possibly if this and next season go badly) and we all hope it won't come to that, i.e., we get good pitchers and lively bats.

I don't think Kingston goes anywhere after this season. Maybe if we end up with a losing record and miss the postseason.
I agree, Ray has already climbed the mountain to the top of the coaching profession. He doesn't seem like the type to climb the same mountain twice.
I hope so. I hope he has some sort of list for all sports at USC. You never know when someone may leave for another opportunity on their own, or you initiate it yourself (the latter with permission of the BOT, of course).
Have you been following USA baseball over the past few seasons? I honestly have not.
His mind is preoccupied with the basketball search. He has his hands full but put himself in this situation.
Yep. Ray's 63 (had to Google it). While that's not necessarily too old, he's been in a suit too long at this point. I would be STUNNED to see him back on any field in a coaching capacity.
I have looked at some games. Took some time to read his resume with his current team. I also liked his development of players from reading articles. I'm sure he surrounds himself with a good staff also.
1. Easter bunny
2. Dirk diggler
3. Potsie Johnson
in no particular order.

If he keeps lists, he's not very good at making lists.
I heard that 4 of them have already turned him down....
I was thinking Otis Nixon or Deion Sanders or Bobby Cox or Dale Murphy or……#5
I will say Ray hired a good Softball coach and Coach Beamer is another good hire... Ray was forced by former players to hire Coach Beamer or it would have been another wonder pick by Ray Tanner going on his own and find a coach from the high school football ranks..
I don't know anything about Paris, but I hope he can coach..

You said "maybe if we have a losing season and miss the postseason". And you said "I don't think he gets fired". So you implied it.
I wouldnt say the softball coach is good. They have underwhelmed alot and they have gotten waxed by Clemson the last two years and those two years are the first time Clemson has even had a softball program. So they just create something and it already surpasses us. Bev Smith is not that good.
I also think Kingston is done and dont know if Ray gets a third crack at hiring a baseball coach. The ones he has picked have destroyed what he helped build, which is sad.

5. Dallas Baptist...hell, we know he wouldn't reach that high so lets go with Bethune Cookman.
