[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

You should have stayed in your lane as the baseball coach... You're a horrible AD...

I don’t blame Tanner for Holbrook. He was going to be the guy when Tanner retired. If not, he was going to get hired by someone else. His failure was a bit shocking to everyone. Tennessee, who has a good program now, tried to hire him away when he was an assistant. He just was a colossal failure.

But the Kingston hire should’ve been Tanner’s final hire. It’s amazing that, in a sport where Tanner is a legend and has connections, Mark Kingston was the best we could get. He wasn’t even that good at USF.

I don't blame him for making Holbrook HC. I blame him for not firing him quick enough.

Now this new guy is just destroying what's left.

Meanwhile Ray may have just pointed his finger in a phone book to hire a new basketball coach.

We're a ship without a rudder.

I think Jim Toman or Monte Lee would have been a good hires after Tanner stepped down. Even though Monte struggled last year in Clemson, I always thought he is still one of the best Coaches under Tanner era...
