Looks like we may have a coach soon.

On a related note, that catch by the Illinois right fielder was ridiculous.

Big 10 baseball is embarassingly bad. I don't think Fullerton was going to beat Stanford twice but there's no excuse for losing to Illinois!

Vanderbilt lost a region to Michigan one year and that team was worse than Illinois.

It's inexcusable for CSF to lose like this. This is becoming more increasingly obvious that Serrano is perhaps looking ahead to the UT job. They did not seem focused.

They lost to Stanford yesterday 1-0.

Seriously doubt there was any overlooking.

I was basically saying that it's surprising to see them go out the way they are.

The more I think about this......

Football and bball wont go out and hire a "big name" because we don't want to be perceived as a school that will try to win at all costs.

Yet, baseball, a sport the administration has treated like a red headed step child by entire life opens up and suddenly we say the hell with it and target a guy other schools have turned down because he has a diploma mill bachelors degree because he is the best available.

Makes no sense to me.

If a college degree was required by the university prior the Raleigh being hired, then the AD's priorities are clear.

Kendall Rogers: I'll have the very latest on the #Tennessee coaching search within the next hour. Mike Hamilton's resignation DOES change things.

Since Hamilton is gone, somewhere a mid-major baseball coach is dissapointed that he won't be hired as the new baseball coach at Tennessee

Hyams reports Burke was in town yesterday, presumably for an interview, but Hyams can't confirm. This strikes me as funny. Also, several places I've looked report that Hamilton made phone calls to candidates this morning to inform them of his resignation.

Sometimes I wonder if Tennessee can get out of it's own way.

"I spoke with the same UT source this morning following the Hamilton announcement, and he made it perfectly clear that Serrano wasn't as much of a slam dunk as he was under Hamilton, and that South Carolina associate head coach Chad Holbrook could be listed as candidate 1B behind Serrano, being 1A."


"To make it short, Serrano and Holbrook, in my eyes, are probably closer to tied in the race right now than they ever have been ... but there's one caveat to the situation, South Carolina still has an opportunity to keep Holbrook if it can make some assurances and give him a more handsome financial package, IMO."

Another frustrating day for Vol fans. I wanted to find some joy today. I wanted to overlook that Hamilton is a nice guy with many good qualities and a family to provide for. I wanted to take a measure of satisfaction that I can now move on, that the house is clean. I wanted to celebrate the end of this dismal chapter.

But, with Hamilton and the BOT, timing is everything. How many proven Head Baseball Coaches will want to be hired by an interim AD? Why would they leave a good situation to come into this...this...mess? Oh sure, any coach worth having would've been worried that Hamilton might be gone anyway, but now...

No, instead of being happy, I felt nothing. Numb. Then, I started to ask why? Why now, before the hearings? What's with the hefty buy-out? What's the deal with Raleigh? Is he just disgruntled or does he have some dirt? Why all the contradictory statements about the search? Who is actually running it? Why does this happen every single time? Why bother?

My wife who is a transplant from DC provided the answer, the only one that I'll ever likely get. She said, "You bother with it because you are a glutton for punishment."

She's right too. That pretty much sums it up. That's exactly how it feels. Everytime this bunch running the show screw up and I mean all of them, going back to Kiffin and Co., it feels like a punishment. What did Vol fans do to deserve all of this grief?

All we can do now is hope the real punishment, the NCAA spanking, won't be too harsh. Hamilton fell on the sword so we all might be spared, right? Gimmie a break, in basketball, I believe they call it a flop. Heck, he looked relieved.

Serrano fans can now worry, Holbrook fans can feel a bit better, at least that's what Rogers and Haney wrote today.
I think Holbrook, well, he too falls into the "why come into this mess" group. He's got a sweet thing going at SC, the wife's family is there. Parlay this stuff into a nice raise, sit tight and wait for a more stable opening.

Schlossnagle, McDonnell, I didn't think we had a chance with them before, it wouldn't seem like it would be better today.

Maybe Burke interviewed yesterday, but that just seems silly, right? Was Hamilton there knowing he'd be gone the next day?

Sorry for the rant. GBO!
