I will be surprised if Whit can hire a coach from a

a "top notch" program. Can he hire the Buzz Williams of college baseball? Possibly, but not likely. I'm expecting a hire like our women's lacrosse hire. If Whit can hire the John Sung of college baseball, I'll be very satisfied. That is, some one who has the reputation of building successful programs from the ground up. Like I said before, Whit has torn down the old stadium and is rebuilding a new one. He's doing the same to our baseball program. That process began this morning.

If Whit can convince someone like Coastal Carolina's Gary Gilmore, that would be an unexpected hire, though not an impossible one considering Gilmore grew up in nearby Franklin County. The most important consideration is the amount of money Whit can spend on a new baseball coach and staff.
