Yes he was a great coach but Butch is better. What Butch was able to do during his early tenure under the “state lottery scholarships” given to in state players in other states to baseball players (they were legitimately earned) but Auburn and Alabama’s baseball programs were capped at 11.7 scholarships over I think the roster number was 28.
So you are saying that Butch has it tougher than Hal?
I call BS. It was similar back when Hal was coaching. NIL has been a game changer in baseball. You can believe what you want to believe but people spouting that he was the best coach ever and oh he had it harder than others. You can literally buy a team now. He has a great park & facilities. There are those that do more with less.
I think coach Joe Urso pound for pound is a better coach. We may disagree and that is fine. We are in different eras but as of right now He isn't the best that has ever been at Auburn in my opinion. He may turn out that way.

Could have clarified major sports but should be implied.
But you didn't you said any sport. Butch isn't even at the level of Hal Baird yet.
If you say big 3 then he is still behind Jordan, Pat Dye, Tubs & Gus as they have won conference championships. Chizik won 2 plus a Natty. Shug also won a Natty not to mention other coaches in other sports who have been highly successful.
I am not saying he is a bad coach but pull the reins when saying the GOAT.
Knowing our history in baseball it is incredible that you say Butch is better than Hal at this point.

Butch may be our greatest coach ever in any sport.
Hold up there dude and learn some AUburn history. Until he gets 12 NCAA national championships then we can talk. Until then David Marsh will hold that title. Or at least 7 for Mens.
We need good guards. I am sure there are some good ones that will be in the portal.

Ok, here we go, these are facts…
-blew a 16pt lead in 90 seconds at home vs AM cause he wouldn’t call a TO when they started pressing with 8 mins left.
-Got a technical, with about 2 mins left vs Vandy at home when the game was a 5pt game and benched Hall with 13 mins left in the game.
-Got a technical vs UT in the tournament with about 2-3 mins left when it was a 6 point game.
-Could not get consistent effort out of. team that managed to beat 3 conference champs at different times of the season,
-Had numerous discipline problems among many different members of the team that cost us games.
- Lost at home to OM down the stretch and at Oklahoma both with pitiful performances in the effort column.
That about sums it up

Man I can't take much more of those seafoam green shoes. One would think that those come in white, orange or blue.
If we make it to the tourney we will be one and done. I don't see these guys coming back.
So Brewer is done...game just showed up in my feed...surprised that we are in extra & tied
