So he seems interested. We're going to have to overcome what Michigan is scrambling to do to keep him though. They are really stepping up to the plate with their attempt to keep him here.
I toured their facilities today - our baseball facilities are far far nicer than theirs although they are now promising him an upgrade.
Our #1 selling point is year round training because of better climate, which he is well aware of - our historic attendance, a better chance for him to win national championships and he'll make more money here in the long run with a less expensive cost of living. Plus our talent base .... and he's already got great connections in the D.C., Virginia, Maryland footprint that he can lure down to SC as well.
I think we have a real shot at this if he is willing to eat some of the buyout.

Are we talking about Erik Bakich?
How would you rate this guy? All I know of him is what I see on his wiki page.
He was an assistant at Vandy from 2003-2009 and Vandy baseball was certainly great then.
But then his head coaching record... Don't get me wrong, I know Michigan and Maryland aren't the easiest places to win in college baseball... and they did finish 2nd in the Big 10 this year and even have a Big 10 tournament title win with him but his overall record is 246-217 and an overall losing conference record.
Again, he doesn't seem like a bad coach but I don't want Holbrook 2.0.
