What did he actually say then?

Basilio said he had people calling him Tuesday night, freaking out that "They sent a plane for him! He's flying out there right now!" As he was texting with TV about Crochet's night.

At least that was what he said at the top of the show. I tapped out after that.

NIL doesn't come from ticket prices probably correct But the players do get profit sharing. Big donors are taking care of most of the NIL so the ticket prices relive the burden on the donors to cover building and refinishing. In a shell all things work together.

Fans are paying a portion of the revenue share in the talent fee tax added to tickets this season. Tickets have an extra 10% tacked on, so you’re talking several hundred dollars more for a set of 4.

I get the prestige of being an MLB manager, but as others have said, it would be a disaster.

MLB is a completely different sport than college ball. Way more games, motivation is very different, and payroll disadvantages are very difficult to overcome. He would be at an organization that is 3rd in their division in spending. The number one team (Dodgers) spend over twice as much as you do for talent. There is a reason why the Dodgers are so good and the Giants are not right now: $$$. Coaching alone will not fix that. I know he is working with NIL here, but MLB is magnitudes bigger in terms of money advantage / disadvantages.

Also, MLB is very much a "pay your dues" type league. Who is going to want to work under TV when he jumped over you to the big chair? Not a whole lot of people. He would be a black sheep.

First, that’s not what Basillio said. His shows are archived. He regularly texts with Tony V, so what you’re saying is complete horsecrap. Yall keep creating this straw man of Basillio that yall love tearing down. Weird to attack a guy who gives so much to our community.

Dick Howser did. He’s the only one.

Yeah, but he also was a player in MLB and had worked in the minors, so not really the same thing, he actually had MLB experience. Tony would literally be the only college baseball coach to go directly from college to MLB without any MLB experience. Howser was 3rd base coach for 9 seasons before 1 season at FSU.

I would agree; but recently there have been plenty of examples who didn't work their way up at all. Stephen Vogt/Brad Ausmus/Craig Counsell/AJ Hinch/David Ross. Albert Puljos is linked to the Angels as we speak. I do realize all of those are former MLB players though :D
Click to expand...
Again though, they played the game so they paid their dues. Vogt also was a non manager level coach for a major league team for a season before becoming head coach. Ausmus worked for the Padres for 2 seasons and was Israeli coach for WBC. Counsell was in front office for the Brewers after retiring before becoming manager. Hinch was manager for minor league operations for d backs. Ross was a special assistant in Cubs organization after retiring. Pujols also signed a special assistant role with Angels after retirement. Also was a manager of a Dominican Republic baseball team. Again all of the above had MLB experience as well as post playing MLB experience. As said before Dick Howser had MLB experience as player and in minors, Pat Murphy had MLB minor league playing experience before coaching Notre Dame and Arizona State before moving into MLB organization a few years before taking over as a manager.

Tony has never been in any MLB organization, as a player or anything in their minor league organizations. Heck of a coach, I just don’t think it will be a move to MLB as a manager unless he took a few jobs in the minors or majors first.

Just an FYI to those that say Giants can pay a top manager money. They can, they never have even with some really good managers, however they have never paid top dollar for a manager. Also manager is the least of their worries, they had like the 14th highest payroll in baseball which isn’t that great for a supposed big market team and their farm system is 18th so they don’t have a lot coming from the farm to supplement their lower payroll. I mean they tried to sign a few big name free agents and all said no thanks, so something is keeping them from getting the top-level talent they want even if they want to raise payroll! At this time they are actually 4th in division for payroll, behind of course the Dodgers, Padres and D Backs!

Serious question...Are you and Tony B a couple? I have never seen someone scour the internet looking for opportunities to white knight someone as much as you do Basilio.

The pay your dues paragraph is the he most important!!!! MLB pulls from its minors.

I believe if TV had desires of pro ball, he would’ve gone minor ball instead of our HC because of the MLB system.

It’s great for people to talk about because it brings publicity and raises our profile even more!!!

One of the main reasons I don't see this happening is outside of Tennessee not a lot of people like Tony. I was at the CWS and was amazed at the amount of hate the LSU fans had for him, he is living rent free in their heads. Just don't see that translating to a national platform.

People don’t like him because he wins. That’s the only reason. Nothing else.

No, no it's not. I don't like him because he has great hair and a perfect beard. Plus he's a multi millionaire and the ladies love him. I could go on, but those are sufficient for this discussion.

When the hell did we start using LSU fans' feelings as a barometer for anything?
