Actually yeah I think most real fans do despise those players because everyone knows Majors and Mannings deserved the Heistman. Hooker also deserved to be a finalist. That award has a long history of being unfair. Doesn’t matter if we were alive for something to look back on history and see something wasn’t right. I guess we should all love Hitler then by your logic?

@VolPack22 and @YankeeVol must've went out on a date and kissed and made up. No where to be found.

I’m Walton Goggins and he is Sam Rockwell during the dinner scene in White Lotus. He told me all about his “adventures” in Thailand being one of those Asian girls. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Talking with some of my baseball buddies and the question was posed…..can you name a college manager who went straight to MLB as a manager?

No — no NCAA baseball coach has ever gone directly from college head coach to an MLB manager position without first spending time in professional baseball (usually as a minor league manager, coach, or front office member).

Here’s how it typically works:
  • MLB organizations almost always require professional baseball experience — either as a player, coach, or manager — before giving someone a big-league managerial job.
  • College coaches may be extremely successful in NCAA programs, but the structure, strategy, and culture of MLB are different (longer season, clubhouse management, unionized players, analytics integration, etc.).
  • Some college coaches have transitioned into MLB assistant or developmental roles, but not directly into a head manager position.
Closest Examples:
  • Pat Murphy – longtime Arizona State coach. He joined the Milwaukee Brewers as a bench coach (not head coach) in 2015 after a stint managing in the minors. He’s now the Brewers’ manager (hired 2023), but that came after years in pro baseball, not a straight jump.
  • John Savage (UCLA), Tim Corbin (Vanderbilt), and Tony Vitello (Tennessee) have been rumored for MLB interest, but none have made the jump.
  • Jim Hendry – Creighton’s college coach who later became GM of the Chicago Cubs, but again, not an on-field manager.
So to be clear:

✅ Several NCAA coaches have entered MLB organizations in various roles.

❌ None have gone directly from NCAA head coach to MLB manager.
