I think that Corbin has a great situation at Vanderbilt. Especially if they do well this post season.

ACC, Brain O'Conor, Virginia pays well, and heck he is debatably the best baseball conference in America, no reason for him to leave.

Serrano is the best bet, I trying to find what his pay is like at UCI, the thing to remember is, he is from California and has been back in Cali since 1996. Also he has 3 kids that are not to old. I think he is rooted in California and waiting for the Cal State Fullerton job.

Its amazing to me, that a guy who couldnt letter in baseball at Liberty Univ who was lucky enough to land a college head coaching job would be so arrogant.

Rod's success was his biggest downfall.....Once you get to the Super Regions or the CWS, fans expect you to compete for that yr in and yr out....he just didn't do that!

It's not SEC/D1 football, and to a lesser degree same said BBall. As smaller D1 schools and conferences have proven, you don't have to be in the SEC/Big 10 etc to compete. And they do well. Baseball is very similar and the gap will be even closer between baby conferences and the big boys. A successful basball mind will do well here or anywhere. Look for a good fit between coach/UT, then evaluate everything else. Big time D1 coaching not necessary here.

exactly. excellent point. What other sports are schools like Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach State, Rice and heck even Vanderbilt succeeding at?

Mike Hamilton says, he's looking for a proven coach, but also one who's coached in college before, because they understand the NCAA regulations better..
Actually, that makes sense.
It also eliminates Honeycutt, Garner, Cockrell and all the other MLB players who played at UT.
What about.. the coach at Walters State? My God, they won the National Junior College World Series last year, and Delmonico raided them for the top three players, ONLY to have them under-achieve at UT.
Walters State must have been doing SOMETHING right.

I think there should be a requirement that you cannot coach your son in college athletics. That way if you fire the coach, you don't lose the son.
Granted, Tony Delmonico made as many BAD plays as he did GOOD ones (I personally watched him lose three, count them, THREE games this spring because of his bad play at second base), but his butt would locked in to UT if he weren't related to the head coach.
Check this out.. it's against Tennessee Board of Education rules for a teacher to teach their own child in Tennessee public schools. You can HOME SCHOOL them, but you cannot teach them in a public school in the state.
The same requirement should be made of, at least, COLLEGIATE sports, not just in Tennessee, but everywhere.
Fat chance, though.. the NCAA cannot even listen to the equality of a Division I playoff system. If something is reasonable, they won't ever consider itl.

Delmonico isn't teaching, he's coaching (or was coaching. In HS its perfectly fine to coach your child, it happens at many, many schools.
