There probably are some very good candidates who are asst coaches at Tennessee, Miss St and Texas or Texas A&M who would be good. But there are quality choices all over. The ones mentioned above are good. Although I know nothing of Brooks
Ask Mack his opinion. That's the one that matters

So is Coach Rod gone right after the Thursday 9AM game, or do they wait a bit to announce that he and Baylor have mutually agreed that he is leaving to pursue other interests?

Wasn't David Murphy being looked at when we hired Rod? Would he be interested? Or too cush of a job right now?

Timing on it sucks. The two best recruiters in Texas were Chad Caillet at A&M and Dan Fitzgerald at DBU, but they both took assistant jobs in the SEC last summer.

My pick? Tech's J-Bob Thomas, not just because he has the most perfect baseball name ever conceived, but because he's an immense recruiter, knows the conference, and has been in his role long enough to perhaps want something more.

Plus, Tech owes us for Joey.

Cooter.

I'm betting he'd make salary negotiations quick and easy by taking only half of what Rod makes.

Got to do something. MAC has done great things with all programs and Steve is think stink in the room.

Unless we go with David Murphy, this is who I think Mack will hire.

Maryland just won the Big 10 regular season and the guy is from Houston. Surely this guy would rather come back to Texas than hang out in DC. Pretty obvious he wants the job . . . I mean he scheduled us here for the 1st series of the year. Not an accident.

Any smoke coming out of the AD's office yet?

Which candidates have 3-5 legitimate "big arms" and 1-2 "big bats" that they can persuade to join them in Waco?

An overnight rebuild can create the recruiting momentum that has been absent for so long. And selling playing time should be easy.

The AD: "We have a baseball team?? Who knew? I'll see if Buttermaker is available!"

While Texas is great, there are other great areas of the country with high quality of life. He lives in Annapolis, which is a beautiful city. DC not far away with a never ending supply of things to do and see (a lot of them free). DC is completely changed from 30 years ago and is increasingly gentrified.

Why don't we just take Tech's top assistant and their head of scouting?

Seems appropriate.

UM is in College Park, which is DC, the Naval Academy is in Annapolis. Nobody in their right mind raises a family in DC.

The coach lives in Annapolis.

Annapolis>DC. Regardless, my trust is in Mac and could care less what everyone else thinks.

Interested to hear opinions:

1) how many candidates apply for/register interest in this job?
2) how many of the foregoing are top tier candidates?
3) how many of that top tier pool get interviews?

Thinking that opinions on these specific questions will vary substantially.

People on this board mentioning Heefner at DBU..he turned us down in 2015 so not sure what's changed except for money.

If Mack has taught us one thing..his choice will be off the radar (Rhule Aranda and Nikki Colleen).

Just listened to a podcast.. apparently 15-20 players threatened to transfer if a change wasn't made.

Multiple sources said an assistant AD was stationed in dugout in middle of season to monitor some 'things that were happening with the team'.

Numerous parents went to Mack to complain about Rod. Not sure what they were.

Chad Jackson has been in and around the dugout a lot longer than since mid season.

Hearing unnamed assistants at Tennessee and Texas would be interested..I wouldn't think the Tennessee assistant is Frank Anderson.. current pitching coach and former Ok St head coach..he's 63.. doesn't fit the profile of a Mack hire.

The 2 previous coaches before Rod were each here 21 years so I assume he'll go younger. I'm sure that makes the Texas St guy a candidate.
