OConnor of UVA to SCar is a hot name
Jun 7, 2017, 12:18 PM

I don't know how likely it is but I do know he's not a big Clemson fan right now and has done very well against us. Didn't take too kindly to that beating he took during the season this year. I don't think that result in the tourney was any accident.

Not very likely IMO

Right now, UVa is a better program than $CU, O'Connor built that program over a thirteen year period, and he has already proven he can win a Championship at UVa. Furthermore, UVa can match any monetary offer that $CU makes. Why would he leave?
Now, Kevin McMullan on the other hand, might be a possibility. Mullen has served as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at Virginia for the past 14 seasons and is considered one of the top assistants in the game.
The guy at West Virginia, Derek Matlock, or the guy at Wake Forest, Tom Walter, would be more likely options.

Holbrook currently makes $400,000 annually

I don't see Tanner more than doubling that amount to get a coach.
UVa pays Brian O'Connor $600,000 a year.

I know we all hate the Gamecocks but...

UVA is not a better program than Carolina, IMO. Yea, UVA has nice facilities for baseball and O'Connor has built a nice winning tradition, but the overall status and importance of the program does not compare to the Gamecocks.
They've had a couple of mediocre years recently but any quality coach could go there starting next year and make the CWS.

We will just have to agree to disagree...

Right now, UVa is the better program between the two.
Now from a facilities standpoint, Founders Park is better than Davenport Field although you do take your life into your own hands every time you walk from your car to Founders Park because its located in such a lousy part of town. Of course, almost everything in Columbia is located in a lousy part of town.

I don't see why O'Connor would make the move. It's a lateral move. Maybe if UVA hadn't won a championship.

that UVa hasn't missed the NCAA Tournament two out of the last three years.
I also know UVa has been to the CWS four times in the last eight seasons finishing runner-up once and winning it all one.
I'm not saying $CU isn't a solid program. It is, but right now, UVa is better.

In the last 8 years we have two national championships...
We had a better season than them just last year. But continue to try too hard.

What did you have the 40 years before that? Let me help you.
Answer: Squat.
Hats off to Ray and his accomplishments but your program has just returned to the way it once was.

Umm we've played for 6 national championships and went to 5 CWS in the 70s and 80s.
If you feel that is squat I would hate to know what you think about Clemson's baseball history.

Not a lateral move,with UVA's endowment, they have

an advantage in recruiting that very few schools have. They can get the money to give far more $$$ towards scholarships than USuC can. UVA is like Vandy in that department.

Then he isn't using it well as we've out recruited them three of the last four years. The one year they out recruited us we finished 6th and they were 5th.

And what does that have to do with the discussion I was responding to or can you just not help yourself from trolling?
You would think after a decade you would realize your snide trolling attempts don't bother me.

Dude! You are on TigerNet...everything in Columbia sucks! If Dabo left Clemson for USuCk, he would go from the best to the worst coach in college football overnight. Do not look for any love on TigerNet. You would have an easier time convincing Trump to give up Twitter than swaying TigerNet to admit that coaching USuCk baseball is a better job than shoveling sh!t. Forget about O'Connor leaving Virginia for the he!! hole in the armpit of South Carolina.
Go Tigers!

Not just because of USC but Columbia has always seemed like a dump. Usually a state capitol elevates the town. Just not in this case
