Pierce is a really good coach.

Not a big name like they were hoping for but I'm sure he'll do well there.

All the egg on their face sure has been fun.

Didn't they get their OC from Tulane?

Apparently Tulane is Texas' coaching farm system.

I think this is actually a good hire - but they fell into it for sure.

"Coming on Strong to Pierce thought the competition was the Smart choice."


Odds this is in a horn add in the next few weeks?

Coach Pierce was my former high school baseball coach at St. Pius X. He's a good guy, and I think he'll do well, but it's a pretty big leap from Sam Houston to Tulane to t.u. in five seasons.

Hhmm, guess the buy-out clause had a loop hole, or was not as high as rumored. Hard to believe the sips would pay a million up front for a baseball coach.

This is an interesting clolololololol op given his current coach choked and couldn't make it to the CWS given the lofty ranking and hosting a Super Regional to a team from the Big Dumpster Fire.

What difference does it make? Texas aims high and makes the best coaches say no. They say no after their current colleges give them huge raises to keep them from considering Texas.

Pierce sounds like a good choice. We'll see.

Which they did... and that's the entire point of the ridicule.

It's NOT because good coaches chose to take a raise to stay in their current situations, but because of the "we're Texas" mentality that you could get whoever you wanted. Clearly you can't.

Did not call y'all obsessed, just noted that I learned about all the coaches being offered from this site.

Wait.

Not sure if you have but plenty of your fans are claiming all these other coaches were never interviewed or offered?

You're claiming tu made them say no.

Which is it?

Listening to local sports talk radio in southern Louisiana - they're giving the horns a pretty hard time. Brought up, in no uncertain terms, that LSU head coach had been offered the job, mentioned the coach search took 31 days and they are predicting that Tulane will be able to upgrade their coach in short order.

Also interviewed Greg Diechmann and asked him how the team felt when the news broke that tu was after their coach. He said he was skeptical that Paul Mainieri would even entertain the offer.

Yeah, I think they actually got a good coach, but their arrogance would not allow them to simply look at someone like Pierce from the get go which is what they should have done.

Mainly I want to read how they waited till the last minute to look at Pierce, but you knew that.

I think this shows how mismanaged the whole baseball firing and hiring has been.

With Perrin this was the best they could do.
At least it's over and he can get to work on next year.

Jmho, there are at least 50+ "really good" coaches in D1 baseball. As Coastal Carolina, Rice, Oregon State, and UCSB have demonstrated. Doesn't change the fact it is hilarious that lil brother sip got rejected 10 times in 30 days.
