Does anyone have suggestions as to who to hire?
We have to pay that Jackwagon for a year left on his contract despite the fact that he sucks so badly that he should have to pay the University. Yes I think this is a bad contract...2010 SEC baseball coaches' contracts | al.com
Unlike last time, the University is not in a huge hole with regards to APR. There is also some talent on the team.
Baseball is a money loser for UT. It will probably stay a money loser even though UT is upgrading the facilities. It certainly does not need to be a money loser that is an embarrassment. Tennessee should be prepared to open the checkbook and spend 400-500k per year for a coach who can bring in the talent to get to the CWS most years. Raleigh started at 275k and is up to 300k now and he BLOWS.
That salary range (400-500 guaranteed, with 100 more in incentives) should bring in a top tier coach.

Erik Bakich seemed like a good hire when Maryland took him. His team stinks this year.
Erik Bakich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He still might be a good hire for UT. He can definitely recruit.
Another guy who is an even better recruiter is currently Associate Head Coach at South Carolina:
Player Bio: Chad Holbrook - SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS
Holbrook named a top recruiter - Baseball - GoGamecocks.com
So Holbrook is a good place to start.
Baseball just got a clean bill of health from the NCAA.
We have some people who will build better facilities if we get a team that does not SUCK.
Thoughts?
