Looks like Coach Goss gets to be interim and they see what happens. Who knows maybe the best guy was under their nose the entire time. Or they can always bring Coach Cates back....he's still around (JK). My personal opinion....I think that they are working it out with Coach David. But we'll see.

Plus I will add that no one on here really knows what is going on. We are all going by word of mouth and what we think is happening behind the scenes. No announcement has been made yet....you would think that if it was offered to Coach Corn he would have accepted on the spot for a chance to...

Just because he didn't take the job does not mean that he did not want it. You are correct in that being a HC in DI baseball doesn't happen all the time and some wait many years for the chance. My comment was based on the reports that the AD made and offer and wanted an almost immediate...

I agree. Every coach has players that are unhappy and so on. Only 8 can play at a time and roughly 7-8 pitchers pitch. So somebody is going to feel like they aren't getting a fair shake. As for the search itself....yes laughable. Still never heard of open forums and all that. Also most...

It appears that it will be offered to Tony David based on what all has happened and the committees impressions. My guess is if he wasn't seriously considering it then he wouldn't have bothered to make the visit. So it just comes down to moving his family if he wants to do it. I think the...

I personally know two of the candidates and have met the third in passing. Here is my take on the whole thing. First I don't think that AD Dane had any intentions of moving Coach Cates out. That was Dr. Rakes decision, which accounts for the weird timing. I think that has been well...

I hope not...what a bad fit for UTM baseball IMO. While he may be a proven coach...his personality does not fit with UTM culture at all.

Rachel11 I read both your posts before you edited them. I had heard some of the same things that you expressed. The assistant in question is not returning to UTM and rightfully so. A coach should never engage in those type of actions and a HC should put a stop to it immediately if he hears...

Agree 100%. The UTM job will pay about $60K a year from what I hear. The $70K stated earlier in the thread is a possibility but probably towards the maximum they will go. They do have 11.7 scholarships but they are at the in-state rate but they do give a few out of state tuition waivers. It...

It was asked on here last week about Rod Delmonico as a candidate. I personally do not think that is a good fit for UTM. Sure...he is an ultra successful past HC in the SEC and in the state of Tennessee. However I don't think that his personality would be a good fit in Martin. He has that...

The thing that they are fighting is the lack of success in the past and what the perceived salary is. A lot of the assistants make more than what UTM is paying. But as I said above that isn't always a factor. It just takes the right guy who wants the challenge and has the ability to make a...

That is a hard question to answer....you have to look at a number of things. There are coaches that would great but not sure you could get them based on they make more as an assistant than they would at UTM. However every year I'm sure guys take jobs that pay less so that they can get a chance...

With that said I am not bagging on Scarano or any other coach. I guess anyone could come in and do better but my point was you have a better chance of making a turn around if you hire someone who has a winning background and has knowledge and history of recruiting at the DI level. That in my...

You must be talking about Joe Scarano at Three Rivers College in Missouri. He was a graduate assistant at UTM 3-4 years ago. Currently recruiting coordinator at the junior college. He was a head coach at a DIII school in Mass before coming to UTM. His overall record at the DIII school was...
