Will be a significant upgrade over Raleigh.
Did Hamilton learn from his mistake in hiring Raleigh?
NO....
If you know about baseball please let everyone else who reads the thread know the answer to these questions...
1. How many scholarships does a baseball team have?
2. How many players does a baseball team have?
3. How many scholarships had Tennessee lost when Raleigh was hired?
I am not a Raleigh fan, but Hamilton when he made the last hire had to do so under a sledgehammer that Delmonico brought to the school by ignoring APR. Talent leaving in the draft was understandable, but Hamilton flipped when after repeated warnings Delmonico continued to have drunk partiers who failed out.
Think about when Dooley was hired, it did not give Tennessee's football program the best chance to hire the top name they would want.
Basketball the hire was made under the cloud of this NCAA investigation and with a VERY popular coach who was just run out of town to a disgruntled fan base who will always compare you to him (and he took the program to unseen heights).
Baseball? The worst circumstances of all...It would be like trying to find a basketball coach for a team that had 8 scholarships. That is also why Raleigh was given another year last year even though his suicide comment reached the ears of lots of folks.
TN baseball is about to recover from the ash heap, but Rod Delmonico gathered the kindling and the gasoline and lit the match, Raleigh just made smores.
