We won't hire Andy....nor should we.
I'll be shocked if Godwin takes the State job...he's made some really bad comments about Starkville to some folks.
Schlossnagle won't be an option
Mingione wasn't the most liked guy by the baseball people when he was here

Haire fits the profile of someone I would see Selmon going after.

Howdy Doody is a better option than our current HBC.

If Skip Johnson is interested then I'm sure Selmon would give him a look also.

This is an interesting candidate. Butch will be the logical choice, but it hardly ever works out that the top candidate gets the job. Other than 2022 Skip's record is underwhelming.

Jak Salmon is on top of this. Rumor is he's done an exhaustive search already. Heard he's stepping out of his usual network. He's narrowed it down to 3...

I like Mingione. At least he knows the culture and expectations of our fanbase. He seems to do pretty well @ KY. I think with our brand, he could recruit much better here vs KY.

Who has more NIL money for baseball, State or KY? Does brand matter in the age of NIL? Is NIL less relevant in baseball? I really don't know and I'm not sure how much NIL money is handed to baseball players.

Any list that includes Cannizzaro and Mingione is laughable.
BUT, Haire and Butch Thompson is 👍
Godwin isn’t leaving ECU to go anywhere unless they fire him and that ain’t happening unless they tank for 2-3 season like you Miss State baseball program has.

That ain't happening.......He's FSU alum..........I'd call him but he's not going to budge.......
I bet he'd budge for $$$. He's been here, seen what its like and liked it. And Lemonis is already making $450k more than Jarrett. Bump it another $450k and it'll be almost twice what Jarrett will make next year at FSU.

What's Kentucky's NIL? Who is earning what amount at State?
State has one of the best NIL's in college baseball...which is why our portal class the past two years have been ranked in the top 5(which says a lot about how bad Lemonis is).State baseball isn't hurting for money.

Lane Train. Been saying this for a decade. He recruited the 2013 team. Cohen Disciple.

17 the people on your list, those names are idiotic.

This article says D1 Baseball ranks our portal class at 24th. It has 8 other SEC baseball programs ranked higher

Why would Haire be the likely candidate? Is there a connection I do not know about? Seems we could do better than Campbell head coach
