I agree. How do we know Lee doesn't feel slighted by SCAR for not going after him and instead Holbrook? How do we know that he has some deep seeded love for SCAR? I would imagine this guy is ready for a big opportunity. An opportunity that gives him the resources to truly compete for a CWS. I know, I know. We're still working on competing in tuition, but it seems as we are finally making ground there.

The reason I really like Lee is because of the trouble he has given big programs in the tournament. He seems to instill a confidence in his players that could win the whole thing. We have never had that much of a problem making it to the CWS, our problem has been playing to our full potential and beyond when we get there. Lee may have the best resume in that regard of them all. What he did at the Gainesville regional a few years back is as good as it gets in regards to playing with confidence in the postseason.

Give me Lee!

I've been following string. I think what many of you are missing about Perno is what he did at a lackluster program that didn't have the attention and support that UGA Football, Basketball or even Women's Gymnastics received. Lee has done a great job but I would like to see what he could have done coaching in the SEC with the 8th best facilities in their conference. There's no secret why Vandebilt and Virginia win...sure it's great coaching but it endowment $$$$$$$. Think Danny Ford - how did he do at Arkansas compared to his years at Clemson. I think the real issue is what you want in the program. If you want a pretty record or to be in a position to win championships. Btw, I talked with Rusty Charpia earlier this week who was All-ACC SS in late 80's and led team in interceptions as football player. He said Perno is an absolute no brainer. He mentioned that if Bill Wilhelm were still alive Perno would already have he job. As one of the earlier guys mentioned on post, the SEC is at another level and Perno won championships there with far, far less resources than Clemson. Remember that Bill Bilichek was fired at Cleveland. There's a big difference when you have support and resources like the Kraft family in New England. It's a shame because Clemson is like the Green Bay Packers in terms of support and resources and if David Perno was coach I bet Tigers would be in Omahaa playing for a NC within a few years. My basis for this is that he did it at UGA with a much, more inferior program and resources. It's an opportunity missed and it looks like Lee is the guy. I'll be pulling for the Tigers but always wondering what would have happened if we went with a proven winner who won in the toughest conference in the league while also year over year played the toughest schedule in all of college baseball. (sec, clemson, Ga tech, Oregon state, fsu, ucla) You see Perno felt it was more important to prepare his boys how to compete for end of season v/s a pretty record which is why his Omaha record speaks for itself. #missedopportunity
