That’s simply amazing. It kinda sneaks up on you doesn’t it ?
I wonder if it’s bc he never can get many of the regionals and especially the SRs so students fans faculty aren’t there to share in most of his teams final victories.
How many yrs has he been here?

Unbelievable job and simple amazing. 2 of the last 3 CWS. We need to invest in the facilities.

Jay Jacobs hired Bruce and Butch. Yeah he was sooooo bad lol

You make a good point. But, remember he also hired Golloway and Barbee.
Posted on 6/14/22 at 8:02 am to wareaglepete
He also fired them fairly quickly. Golloway wasn’t even a bad coach. Just an a-hole. Barbee lasted 4 years but the wrong was righted.

Who arguably putnus in 2 national championship games.
Dont see that happening again for a while.

And he did that with the built in disadvantages of being in the state of Alabama.

Exactly. I've read some things that made it sound like the scholarship limitations in baseball were being raised dramatically. Idk if true but i like the idea of a much more level playing field

I remember Foley (UF's better version of Tim Jackson) down at UF was on fire when he began his AD tenure there. He hired Urban Meyer, Billy Donovan, his soccer and softball hires won natty's, Sullivan for baseball. Then he absolutely shite the bed. Zook and Muschamp, MacIvane (sp?) aka The Shark, and all of their post basketball hires up to 2016.

And that would be because of the giant recruiting void Gus left.

Butch is demanding this. Condos / suites will be build down the right field line similar to miss st.
Hopefully we also get some permanent, free, cooler friendly student seating in right as well.

He also let the coach, who built the most dominant team in the sport, walk over piddly shite. Our S&D program has not come close to that success since. It's actually fallen off the map.
