it seems to be a two horse race Schnall or Sabins. I just think Schnall is a better fit
Its a two horse race between Schnall and Sabins. Fitz has cooled hes either staying put or going elsewhere. and Schnall still IMO is the clear best choice of the two (ties to state of SC, elite recruiter/talent evaluator, proven program builder, proven assistant coach, then head coach (2025 COY) 56 wins last year, 49 years old, fan favorite. Sabins might be a good coach as well I wouldnt be angry, but I think you go get Schnall.
Following that analogy, it's more likely the cam shaft and lifters. Have to take the damn thing apart to fix it.
I say wait, no need to hurry on Scnhall as I think there are better options out there, explore those options first.
why is he a better fit? Also, we actually don't know if there are other coaches being considered, so let's not be so hasty here.
Methinks Landon is content at NGU. Having stated that, I don't disagree with you.
I have also thought he should be a person considered, however I agree, he might actually love where he is and good for him if this be the case.
Skylar Meade has done well with Troy. They may bounce Gators out of tournament. He may get consideration...
Skylar Meade is looking really good right now. Came out of losers bracket to beat Miami and Florida twice. "Win anyway" mindset looks alive and well at Troy.
We should at the very least grant him an interview if for nothing else nudge NGU into spicing up his contract.
I think its more important to get the right coach than to settle for someone else just to get a jump on portal recruiting for one class.
Pulling for Troy.
He Likely doesn't have the horses to get out of the Super but he does have them playing at a high-level right now.
I went to the 7th game of the Atlanta Regional on an SRO ticket. I stood way down the right field line, adjacent to the Oklahoma bullpen. Had a pleasant conversation with the Sooner grad student pitching coach who stated that Cal Poly has a very good team. Do not underestimate them.
You could be correct in your assumption. I don't have any knowledge of anything that makes him so far better than other coaches in consideration, of which we have no idea. I'm really hoping for the best because baseball is special to me.
Something I noticed that all of our "top" targets (Schnall @ Coastal, Ramsey @ GT, Sabins @ WVU) are all assistants that recently took over for coaches who retired and may be riding the coattails of success that their former bosses may be more responsible for. The only one of the guys Ive seen mentioned in this search who has built a program from nothing is Fitzgerald @ Kansas.
Gary Gilmore the long time coach at CCU endorsed Schnall, theres no evidence anywhere that Schnall is only good because of the state of Gilmores program riding his coattails or something. as we saw with Holbrook its not that easy to follow a legendary coach, Schnall has a top reputation in college baseball nationally by himself and players want to and love playing for him.
Sounds a lot like when Ray Tanner hired Chad Holbrook. Not saying its the wrong move, but it sure does seem like we've seen this show before. I think there is something to be said for if we really consider ourselves as a blue blood program, do we really want to hand the keys to someone who would be still learning on the job on how to be a head coach?
I wonder if an announcement will not be made until the conclusion of the CWS?
Powell is the one I’d like to see as well. However, he may be content at NGU….right now the incoming coach has a disaster to fix.
