Hyams, does however always find a way to drop Burke into the conversation ever since he brought his name up. Even the other day when a caller asked who he thought would get the job he said "I think it is a two horse race, I am unsure about Chris Burke." Surely Cronan would not think that Burke is a better choice than Serrano or Pierce.

It's actually embarrassing that he even got an interview....kind of shows you the state of our athletics program that we're interviewing people w/ no coaching experience

to be fair he interviewed before cronan became interim, but i agree with the assesment.

This is the way I see it playing out (hopefully)....using simple logic

If no coach is named this week (Tues-Fri) then it's Holbrook for sure
If Serrano is named coach this week then Holbrook turned us down

Because there is no real news...besides Burke and Pierce...Because Hyams pretty much ruined the day...depending on who you believe, we're 12-48 hours from a hire....what will follow is attempt at levity. I mean no disrespect. Purely for fun. It isin't true.....

On Joan Cronan's first day as interim AD, she had three meetings. This is how the first one went.

Joan walks into a large conference room." Hi, I'm Joan Cronan. I see some familiar faces, some not so familiar, and there's no time for a proper introduction. Let's get down to it. Where's Burnie?

Blackburn: "Here"

Cronan: "Well.........let's get to it. What's first?"

Burnie: "Gotta get a new baseball coach. We have a list of possible candidates."

Cronan: "Who are these people in the corner Burnie?"

Burnie: "Um...that's the baseball committee, they've been here, working day and night."

Man in the corner stands up and begins to speak:" Yes maam, uh...we were down at the courthouse for jury duty, and this nice police officer asked us if we wanted to get out of it. We all said yes, he loaded us in a van and brought us here."

Cronan: "I see....(she whispers to Burnie) "and who do they like Brodie?"

Burnie: "It's Blackburn...but ah...they like Chris Burke"

Cronan: "Who's that?"

Burnie:" He's a former Vol..."

Cronan: Gooooooood"

Burnie: "Played major league ball"

Cronan: "Excellent! And he coaches where?"

Burnie: "Louisville"

Cronan: Wow, and we can get the head coach from Louisville?

Burnie: "Weeellllllll, he's actually a volunteer assistant"
Cronan: "Neeeeeexxxxxttttt!!!!"

Burnie: " Then there's uh...I like this guy...Chad Holbrook."

Cronan: "What's the story on him Bartie?"

Burnie: You can call me Dave, but...he's the associate head coach at South Carolina, a top notch rec (Cronan interrupts)

Cronan: What's an associate head coach? Yer either the head coach or an assistant. Pat would never go for this...NeeeeeeexxxxT!!!

Burnie: "Bobby Pierce"

Cronan: "Is he a head coach for crying out loud?"

Burnie: "Yes he is, he's the head coach at Troy"

Cronan: Off to a heck of a start Doug, what else, sell me...did he play ball like Burke?"

Burnie: :It's Dave, but...as a matter of fact, he did, he played at Alabama.

Cronan: "No dang way, I'm not taking that on, forget it! Neeeeexxxxt"

Burnie: (coughs) "Dave Serrano..." (clears throat)

Cronan: Well, dang it Dan, we ain't got all day, the committee's got stuff to do."

BBC: Stands, gives her a round of applause.

Burnie: " He was a former assistant at UT, when Helton....uh...Todd...Todd Helton was here, you dooooo know who he is?

Cronan: "Should I...., big contributor?"

Burnie: Yes, he's the Peyton Manning of Vol Baseball"

Cronan: Just testing you Dickie, sure...OK, So Serrano?"

Burnie:He's been to the College World Series TWICE...with two different teams!!!

Cronan:NOW YER TALKIN' Dickburn! (Loud disturbance)

BBC: (Shouting)"We want to see his birth certificate."

Burnie: "Sorry Joan"

Cronan: "What are they talking about Blackie?"

Burnie:(whispers so as not to offend) "I think they mean, his degree."

Cronan: "What about it?"

Burnie: "It's from a diploma mill"

Cronan: "Is that one of those Juco colleges, Pat doesn't like those...Neeeeexxxtttt!!!"

Burnie: "uh...that's pretty much the list..." Long pause...



Cronan: So, let me...you mean to say...We have one Volunteer, a cock with no record, a bammer and a guy with no degree...That's the List!!!!???? What's next Burnie?

Burnie: Well uh...the COI with the NCAA....2bcontinued.

Nice!!! I thought that was insider information until 1/3 of the way through. I think it's time to go to bed. Thanks for the laugh.



LORD please let it be Serrano.

I hope he's looking for a job elsewhere after the hire! Nate talks and acts as bad as Raleigh to the players and really to anyone whom he feels is inferior, he thinks very highly of himself. Complete douche!

Basically a clone of Raleigh. A guy I know was recruited by Raleigh and couldn't stand him.

I'll also say that I'd be a little surprised to see Holbrook leave the #Gamecocks behind. Sources say the more he ponders, likelier he stays

Just a heads up that #SouthCarolina assistant Chad Holbrook is in Knoxville today to interview for the #Tennessee position. #Vols #SEC

@ @mainiman I honestly think #Gamecocks give Holbrook the head coach in waiting tag without announcing it to public. That's my thought. #SEC

Which goes right along with what I've said the whole time. The longer this has went on, the more Tanner and SC have really swayed his opinion. At the onset, I think he was very interested. But at this point, I think he's giving a token interview and will reap the rewards of being wanted by a rival school.

yep....I'm looking for something from Hyams around 2pm...just a guess...He's gotta be all over 'em .

That is the one thing I hate with coaching interviews, if you are or become uninterested in a postion you are being considered for then don't show up for a courtesy interview. Nothing personal against Holbrook, I understand why he wants to stay but I can't understand why coaches do the courtesy interview.

Here's the deal....Hyams likes to hype his show if possible, if he has something, he lays it out before the show.....but he'll definitely have something to say at 3pm after all the commercials....regularly scheduled SC press conf @ 4pm....unless something else just come out of the blue, I'm not seeing anything....
