Coach Q to the Giants

[Gilbert]

Doubt San Fran would go for hiring a pitching coach with no big league experience when they already did it with Tony. Unless it’s in some administrative role like Q.

If Josh, Tony, Frank and Danny are all tending to business, we should be fine. Frank’s career has an expiration date.

Frank has maybe two or 3 more seasons before he calls it a career... Some are acting like he will coaching til 90 years of age...

I halfway expected Q to follow Tony given how much they've worked together, but if Tony takes Frank, he's dead to me.

I'm pretty sure Elander is the one who knew Q before Tony did. Elander has talked before about how he was a strength coach for him at one of his stops in the minors.

Nooooooooooooo!

Is keeping the Tank around until he’s 89 too much of an ask?

 

[knoxvol52]

Nooooooooooooo!

Anderson isnt leaving. I would put money he would retire first...

The math may have changed. Hard to tell.

Tony, man. Don’t make me dislike you. I thought we had a chance to basically roll forward with this thing in mostly the same shape, but if Sean McCann and Frank also go with Q, Tony basically took a wrecking ball to the program he built on the way out the door. That’s not cool.

Its his coaches.

Dang, yuge loss. Q did a TON for this program.

You guys are making me nervous in this thread, I’m outta here.

Nobody expected McCann to stay. I think most were surprised when it appeared Q was. The word I’d heard from the very beginning was that if Tony left, Q and McCann were almost guarantees to go with him. That’s why I was so surprised when it looked like Q was staying.

Keegan Knoll from the Milwaukee Brewers is the new strength coach.

McCann and Q were just waiting until after National Signing Day. Both were gone to San Fran for awhile Just like silent commits.

 

[BigorangeBoy]

McKee said Q is staying in Knoxville for a few weeks to help with the transition. Q personally recommended Knoll for the job

Well that’s a lot of praise from one of the best

Hopefully McCann does the same thing

 

[patrick]

Dang. I had a lot of hope after nearly a month went by that we had weathered the storm and kept Q. That’s a huge loss. Tony needs to buzz off and leave us alone!! Ha. Hire someone else.

Tony didn’t want to nuk the program.

Anderson isnt leaving. I would put money he would retire first...

Frank isn’t going to MLB or anywhere else other retirement.

It would be a disaster. Managing a MLB pitching staff is on another planet from college. And given that TV has 0% experience at managing a MLB staff, he would be an utter fool to hire a pitching coach who has the same amount of MLB experience.

I’m a Rangers fan and we just lost Mike Maddux. TV was named too late to get Maddux, but Maddux woulda been great for TV…or someone with his experience and proven success.

In college, a coach has a bigger pitching staff to spread over around 36 innings per week, with 9 of those innings against the equivalent of a minor league team much of the time.

In MLB, the number of arms shrinks, but a coach has to manage 54-63 innings per week…all against MLB hitters.

No comparison.

When I read a post, comment or article that gets into the differences between D1 and MLB, it blows my mind that Tony is being given this opportunity.

A nine figure player salary budget. Think about that for a second.

Cain said last night he won't be surprised if Frank goes. TIFWIW.
