I'm curious would you take

[Pookieray]

Rafael Palmeiro, Will Clark or any other former State Baseball player as our head coach without them ever being a coach before?

 

[PapaDawg]

No

Hail no, don’t hire your heroes

 

[Pookieray]

not as head coach but I wouldn't mind Rafael or Will as a hitting coach. Probably prefer Palmeiro over Clark.

 

[Dawg1976]

Nope

 

[RivaDawg]

People who are very gifted at doing something have a hard time explaining it. They just “know” what is going to happen, but can’t explain to some else.

 

[PBRME]

No. An SEC shouldn’t have to resort to experiments.

 

[L4Dawg]

Rafael Palmeiro, Will Clark or any other former State Baseball player as our head coach without them ever being a coach before?

Absolutely NOT. Coaching and playing are two very different things.

Will kills it on Eric Brynes podcast

[preacher_dawg]

At this point, as an interim, yes, but I would rather have Bulldog Bruce.

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

Is it fair to say we are quickly reaching the point to where anybody would be better than Lemon?

It's the Devil in the Details that seem to fail Lemonis every game.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

Rockey Felker immediately comes to mind

 

[The Peeper]

Not a chance I'd take either as a head coach.
That said, Will is a hitting instructor now for the Giants. I heard him interviewed and he said when the Giants have a young kid struggling with a hitting issue somewhere he's the guy they send to wherever to work with him to help get it straightened out. He says it helps him stay involved with baseball, travel some and help the organization.
Hmmm, I wonder if we have any left handed power hitters he could assist with hitting issues?
He may no longer be doing it because it was a year or two ago when I heard the interview but sounded like a perfect gig for a former player with a family to have

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I say yes...in only the following scenario


Lem is fired before leaving red stick. Bring in the hero for the interim to the end of season...while we wait for salmon to interview OU trainers.

Rafael Palmeiro, Will Clark or any other former State Baseball player as our head coach without them ever being a coach before?

LOL.

 

[patdog]

Are you kidding? I’d rather keep Lemonis.

 

[Pookieray]

I'm not advocating for this type of hire. It seemed to me that some on this board would be in favor of this but as it turns out, I was wrong and gladly so.

 

[HRMSU]

It's usually the former players that were grinders that make solid to great coaches. Hmm, maybe we are a few years away from getting a hero grinder as coach.

Nope, Mangum on the other hand, let’s wait and see….

Two years ago that would have been the case. Currently EVERYBODY is better than lame Lem! :-(

Yes why not. As long as all NIL goes to football. Maybe just a little for basketball.
