How realistic is it that we get Brian O’Connor? I think it would be a home run hire and I think he is the best coach out there. He’s a proven head coach with multiple trips to Omaha including back to back years 2023 and 2024. And back to back finals in 2014 and 2015 with him wining the Natty in 2015. No other coach resume compares to that! Could John Grisham have a say in getting him to come to Starkville?

He signed an extension last June taking him through 2031. I believe at 1.4 mill/yr & performance bonuses.
Not totally alike but yes, similar. Polk was more of a free spirit. Had no real family as I don't think he was ever married. Pretty much why he was married to MSU baseball most of his life. He worked 14-16 hr days a lot. Only took a couple weeks vacation every year to Las Vegas to play in poker tournaments, cards, etc. He was a big time recruiter back in the day. Brought in players from all over the U.S. Would he have adapted to today's NIL era....I'm pretty sure he would have.
