That would be a solid hire. He's made Maryland better every single year he's been there.

It's being reported he is keeping pitching coach Jason Jackson on the staff as well.

Congrats but is winning the Big 10 much of an accomplishment?

Not a bad hire at all. I figured y’all would make a run at McDonnel at Louisville because he is not happy there

Time will tell, but this looks to be a pretty solid hire.

Good hire. His brother Ricky got into some legal trouble but was a flamethrower on the mound.

Rob is a great young man as well as a good coach. Alabama is blessed to have him.

Good hire. Though I have to admit I was pulling for Jason. Kinda feel bad for him (jmho).

Bama will not be good for a long time after that embarrassing situation. Bad time to be a Bama fan. Seems even the football program is declining. Good run though.

I dunno, this flat bill look might erase all the "good coach with good credentials" stuff.

Little disappointed that nobody pointed out that he's perfect for Alabama since he also gave up 20+ runs to Wake Forest in Winston-Salem during the 2023 postseason.

Good hire.

Baseball used to be something only a handful of SEC schools invested in. That has changed in the past several years with Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, and Kentucky showing they are capable of something. College baseball will always have a niche following, but I hope its popularity continues to increase.

The interim HC I'm sure is also going to get rewarded with a good job elsewhere! What that guy did is borderline miraculous!
