I think this is the best hire we could make. It's tough to make a hire at this time of the year and he has a good resume.

Right after the press conference seems like a good time

buddy of mine who played at AU and in HS with me loves the hire as well.
His words are "He's Baird 2.0. Great recruiter, great coach and an even better person".

So, convince me why I should be just as excited about this hire as the BP hire?

So did Golloway, who, like him or hate him, had us going in the right direction.
Should be interesting.

This is the right hire at the right time... players will want to play for him, there are players on the team now, we know he can recruit, we know he can develop pitchers...

Don't worry, if Thompson fails, the usual suspect will be right in line.
If Thompson succeeds, those same suspect will shift the credit to someone else.
The goalposts are ever shifting.

That won't be the case for long. I'm glad we aren't giving him the 650k we gave sunny.
