What’s the news on any potential candidates for Head Baseball position?
I would like to see an up and coming coach who has been a winner, young in his coaching career, even if we have to dip into D2. We need to win and win now. Our conference will be much harder than previously.
Recruit Ga and AL, live at East Cobb/ Lake Point. Plenty of talent to go around for everyone. Need to continue the show cases!

We need NIL money these days I suspect we will hear nothing until a new coach is announced. It is how things are handled in Jacksonville now. |

I have concerns about hiring someone from the elite level of baseball. They're accustomed to big budgets where there is no bottom. We need an up-and-coming coach who knows how to work with less. We're going to have the smallest budget in CUSA, and that is a legitimate hurdle to success, so we need a person who can be successful with less.

We're going to have the smallest budget in CUSA, and that is a legitimate hurdle to success, so we need a person who can be successful with less. So who has had real success with a small budget in D1? That list is very small. I can only think of what Oral Roberts has done by getting into the CWS this year. Looking at their budget, they spend about 1.5 mil on baseball. We spend about $800K. Can we achieve their results with about half of the budget? Not likely, but there are a couple of long time assistants on their team we could look at. BTW, Alabama State spends about $500K on their program. I would say that guy has done pretty well with what he has to work with. We all admire DBU's program. They spend 1.9mil. So, tell me. Who is out there that has had D1 success with a $800K or lower budget? |

I may have found our guy. Florida Gulf Coast has had success with 7 straight winning seasons, a regional win over Michigan, and other wins against big name teams including taking 2 out of 3 from Florida State this year. And....their budget is equal to ours. Can't get the head coach - he has been there over 20 years. But this guy looks good. Played in Conference USA and here's the best part....has been an assistant before at Jax State. fgcuathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster/coaches/brandon-romans/5026 |

That would be quite the chance on someone who's never been a college HC though. With our budget, we have to be creative. |
