If O'Sullivan flirted with LSU I could see him wanting that job with the support MSU can give him that Fla doesn't.

Corbin always seems to come up but he seems content to ride it out in Nashville.

I'm not convinced Vitello wouldn't strongly consider it as well although Hog fans seem to think he longs for Fayeteville.

Sully gets great support from the admin and is paid well. Florida fans also give baseball great support, just not on a level of the top 4 teams (attendance wise) but very comparable to Carolina and A&M.

2024 SEC Baseball Attendance Figures
School - Capacity - Avg. Home Attendance

LSU - 10,326 - 10,551
State - 15,000 - 10,172
Arkansas - 10,737 - 9,682
Ole Miss - 11,477 - 9,459
Carolina - 8,242 - 6,863
Florida 7,000 - 5,972
Texas A&M - 6,100 5,648
Tennessee - 4,387 - 4,835
Auburn - 4,096 - 3,877
Alabama - 5,867 - 3,602
Vanderbilt - 3,802 - 3,405
Kentucky - 5,000 - 2,190
Georgia - 3,420 - 1,810
Missouri - 3,031 - 1,192


Sully is also paid as much as anyone in the SEC. Nobody knows what Corbin makes, but Sully and JJ both received contract extensions this year and the were nearly the same annual amount.

So could he be poached, yes of course, but I think someone would have to pay way over market. I don't know that Sully is worth it. He is a good coach but not sure how much tread is left on the tires.

He’s the highest paid coach in the country by a good bit. Well over 2 million a year
