New Pitching Coach Candidates

[JustDave45]

Let's hear some names...

 

[Bigvalley84]

I don’t have any names but E needs to move quickly on this hire

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

I don’t have any names but E needs to move quickly on this hire

Anybody from his ties at TCU?

 

[Aerie Vol]

Maybe we should just hire the Wake Forest Pitching Lab. It only cost like a million dollars. They’ve won every game and natty since building it.

Right?



Right?





Bueller?

 

[volfan411]

Dave Serrano is right in our backyard!!

 

[JustDave45]

Let's hope Josh already has the new coach locked up and is hired quick.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I give you…Gene Garber.

Ended Pete Rose’s hitting streak.

If he can do that, surely he can coach up the young BaseVol pitchers

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

I know it's controversial, but I wanted him as the Pitching coach to begin with, and that's Curt Schilling. He lives in TN and actually was interested in the job if offered to begin with. He has the MLB experience to attract top prospects and the know how on what it takes to win. Forget his politics, he is a baseball guy.

He will never be the pitching coach here

Besides the point, a lot of the best players don’t translate to good coaches

He would not be able to work with E.

I agree on the players to coaches in the most part but Pitching is a little different than being a full blown head coach. He KNOWS Pitching and the mentality it takes. Someone will hire him and he will be very, very good at it.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Possibly, you know more about Elander personality than I would. I was just throwing a potential name out there that I feel like would succeed in coaching the Pitchers and Recruiting. But if he won't mesh well, then I understand. But this hire better be more than just someone who will get along with E or he may not have a job after next season.

Bueller?

AWESOME!

 

[fryeguy93]

I agree

Focus would be an issue.

And the controversy and outside drama would make it harder for the team and staff to focus.

 

[txbo]

Dave Serrano is right in our backyard!!

I like that idea. Working with pitchers is his forte'.

 

[JustDave45]

Just watched a video of the lab at Wake Forest, that's impressive. We just got a 130 million dollar donation today so I say build us one even better !

 

[Bigvalley84]

I’m sure this has been in the works for a while so hopefully E has a solid list of candidates and can wrap this up quickly

I would be willing to bet no one will ever hire Curt Schilling to be their pitching coach

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Then they would be making a mistake. Dude knows Pitching.

 

[Baseball25]

No, but Curt sure has the right political views.

 

[brockytop]

I would be willing to bet no one will ever hire Curt Schilling to be their pitching coach

Maybe we can hire Bryce Harper as hitting coach once he retires

Matt Williams at Coastal Carolina would be a great candidate. 20 years of college baseball experience. Mentored 5 future MLB pitchers and has been successful at Liberty, SC, and UNCW prior to Coastal.

You nailed it on Reynolds weeks ago...

I'd definitely prefer an older veteran coach that has developed multiple MLB pitchers on his resume.

Do you think Elander would inquire with Frank for his opinion and recommendations?

Frank was one of the GOATs of college pitching coaches. Five first round draft picks over a six-year period is insane.
