re: State Baseball Seaech = UT Football Search

I've just never understood this mindset. I think coaching searches would be much more productive if programs simply went after realistic candidates from the word go. This notion to just offer coaches a sack of money honestly doesn't work more times than often. All it does is delay your search, hurt your chances with other more realistic candidates, and make your AD look incompetent. Believe me, I am speaking from experience

Baseball, in particular, isn't a sport where you necessarily need a coach with decades of experience to make a great hire. There are a lot of mid-major guys out there who always have great clubs that would jump at the opportunity to coach at an SEC program.
