Really impressed by the UK coach and can't imagine that he will stick at UK very long with the success he has had. Hope he doesn't get poached by the sips, cause he a guy I wouldn't want to have to have that kind of hate for.

Look up his back story. I actually would be surprised if he did not stay knowing it.

If his interviews reflect his true self I think he'll have a hard time swallowing the situation he would inherit with that University. I can only imagine how much the faculty would hate him.

It isn't easy to poach coaches from SEC or ACC teams now. The money is good everywhere and most schools are putting plenty of money into the programs. You'd need a situation like we got with Schloss where he was ready to move.

I agree, seems like a good dude. I don't think he has enough ******ry in him to be a sip.

He has plenty. In many ways he is Tony V lite without the consistent success.

If sippie poaches Mingione from UK they'll be looking for a new baseball coach five years from now.

Do tell, do tell.

I didn't get that vibe from his presser. Seemed like a really good dude.

Seems to be a nice guy; why would he want to go to Fexas and automatically become a jerk?

I thought the same until I read his story. He had a Jesus encounter in 2022 and has changed.

If Ags were not in Omaha, UK is absolutely the team I would be rooting for.

It is interesting though that nothing has yet come out on the sips coaching front.

safe to say...

they are waiting for the CWS to be completed

Tony V is a good interview also. I hope he has turned over a new leaf but was bombastic and unnecessarily confrontational when he first got the job at Kentucky.

Interesting. Don't really know much about him. I'd be ok then with him going to Austin and causing some fall-out

He's built something pretty special at Kentucky. He also doesn't come across as someone trying to climb the ladder to other locations.

No reason to wait unless it's a someone still coaching.

IMO it would be the wrong move for both. I think Mingione is a good coach but he was given a very long leash at UK. He had a very successful year his first season (2017) but then missed the NCAA Tourney until last season. I'd be very surprised if he is one of the coaches t.u. is considering in that he has not had a long enough resume of consistent success but who knows they may be wowed by what he accomplished this season.

He's easy to root for given his success and show of genuine good sportsmanship. Diametrically the opposite of the Tennessee coach.

Have the officially fired Pierce? If so, I missed it (which is entirely possible…)

Nothing official

Speculation by those with sources

Seems like a pretty decent guy from the interviews.

I agree with your assessment. He also seems very happy to be exactly where he is.

I don't know the first thing about Mingione, but you absolutely cannot tell anything about who a person really is based on staged interviews. Remember, folks like Joe Paterno, Chris Beard, Bobby Petrino, Urban Meyer, Hugh Freeze, and Dave Bliss were all media darlings at one point.

No doubt, but as stupid humans its our job to react to first impressions. But your wisdom is sound and true.
