Kingston fired at South Carolina

Dan also played for the Citadel.

 

I'd have to think the NIL era may produce some unexpected moves on the carousel. May have some coaches who appear to be in good situations, but internally might have a fear of getting left behind.

 

They think they have a shot at Sully...think he is tired of Florida and ready for a change. Kendall Rogers thinks they have a good shot atxa big fish....they always bring up Sully every time. Crazy.

 

Let's hope we start hearing Petry rumors soon. If he has interest in Florida then we know there's no chance of Sully going there.

 

I’ll worry about Sully leaving when he actually does it. He’s mentioned in every coaching search for every big baseball program.

 

Yeah it's hard for me to think he would leave with the setup he's been given with the best college stadium in Florida, a growing fan base, on going talent pool in the state, and his kids have grown up here. Now if we can just figure out the NIL thing...

 

The chances of Sully going to SC are lilely nil and zero.

How long was he at Clemson? What school likely despises SC more than any other?

 

Its interesting that the roster page on the Gamecocks website has been unavailable. I was looking for all the other Florida HS guys they have. Looks like they are shutting things down until they get an idea where they are at with the players.

 

Well, we need a new 1B. C'mon down Ethan

 

You are correct. Sully isn’t leaving.

 

This forum will love his strikeout numbers.

 

1. Cliff Godwin - ECU
2. Dan McDonnell- Louisville

That’s the 2 I’ve heard the most.

Oh .. Monte Lee the hitting coach who was at SC when Tanner was coach. He was fired at Clemson 2 years ago, because he couldn’t get the job done. Will Muschamp part 2 , but this time baseball.

 

The Kingston episode puts the lie to a trite assertion like "almost no one is irreplaceable" applied to top college baseball coaches. I envied Ray Tanner's success. I had hope that his moving up to AD couldn't hurt, but I guessed that the championship program he developed could be carried on when SC attracted a good new coach. They had such good momentem and Tanner surely would make a careful choice. Years later, SC still is one of the better programs in the country and battles in the middle/lower middle of the SEC, which means it's in the top 10-15% of college baseball. It's about the level of the Gators in the pre-Sully days. There was room to argue during the regular season that this was Sully's worst team. As he heads to his 10th Super Regional, it seems more accurate to say it was his most chaotic team, but still very good.

As far as SC is concerned, Tanner WAS irreplaceable.
