Butch is a better head coach than pitching coach, in my opinion. For every good story, he had a couple of bad ones that didn't work. Our 2015 pitching staff was a disaster, and some of that may have been him getting caught up in the new balls that spun less. Lot of our stud recruits didn't develop until late (Chris Stratton, Jacob Lindgren, Dakota Hudson, Zac Houston).
I'm just not sold on Butch being what we need. Plus he's a 'nice' guy. Honestly I think he's kind of a Lemonis in disguise, more of a crooter than X/O coach. And at Auburn, he's got getting all these guys with accolades so he's probably getting players with better mental makeup who are used to working hard, thus they win, while our guys cry.
If you are going to go after the PGAAs, you better get the true studs like LSU, Vandy and Florida get. And maybe we do, in the freshman class.
