It's a no brainer to bring Landon in because the other two with long pedigrees at the Div 1 level have not panned out. That kind of kicks your argument to the curb....big time !
Actually it doesn't. Chad had never been a head coach at any level only asst at div 1. Now anyone that says we should have never promoted him is only using hindsight because at the time of the promotion he was the top asst coach in baseball and had just turned Tenn down. Kingston didn't have a "div 1" pedigree ( I don't consider a .500 record at a lower div 1 school a pedigree) and certainly had zero experience in the SEC or a Power 5 school. This is South Carolina not just any baseball team. We are, though sliding away, a blue blood in college baseball. We need to go out and get the absolute best coach available from a div 1 power 5 team. We do not take chances on a div 2 coach, that has made his living off of div 1 player transfers, just because he was once on our team.

Neither is basketball nor football so are you suggesting we should hire a div 2 guy for either of those sports?

Now if he had not been a head coach I might agree and an assistant under Tanner was a no brainer at the time. I thought that was a good move. I thought we should have hired the Dallas Baptist coach after Chad was let go but Tanner went after Kingston instead. Div 1 coaching is no different when you have players and facilities to do it. Landon is doing it with less.....This.....getting a guy whos been there has never worked out with the exception of Spurrier and Staley......none of the rest have done anything...so try something different for a change. Shane is working out just fine.....
