RE: Texas reassigns legendary baseball coach Augie Garrido after 20 seasons
And today BOTH Oregon State's Casey and UCLA's Savage turned down the UT job to stay with their respective West Coast teams (presumably with a commensurate salary bump). I suppose this now puts David Pierce into serious play, though I wonder why he lost out to Goff for the Alabama job.

I can't wait to see how other SEC teams react to the way Goff's teams play

I think David felt he had a legitimate chance at the UT job and also that the Bama job isn't one of the prize SEC spots. The difficulty UT is having points out the problem that if your program drops the desirability of it drops with the top tier coaches.

??? Tiki, unless you know more than Kendall does, David applied for the Alabama job, made it to the short list, and lost out to Goff. (He didn't decline the job.) No, Alabama is not one of the prize SEC jobs, but it's still a darn good job, and a step up from Tulane.

Pearce's apparent appeal to UT makes me wonder if he is looking for the OG to retire??

I would think that Pierce would be much more interested in jobs closer to his recruiting base (Texas, and Houston in particular). He operated here a long time, and even at Tulane (as discussed in another thread) he has relied on that pipeline.
I would think that his value decreases the further he gets from Texas and Houston (not that he is not a good coach in his own right, but he has a lot of connections in the Texas community - and not as many in say, Florida or California, two other recruiting hotbeds).

RE: Texas reassigns legendary baseball coach Augie Garrido after 20 seasons
Personally, I think Pierce probably lost out on the Alabama job because of his $1mm buyout...that's a steep price to pay - especially given all the money they are already putting towards their new stadium. Even UT may not want to pay that amount, given that they'd probably be paying him close to that in his annual salary.

TCU staves off UT by resigning Schlosnagle for 6 years at $1+M per.

We better be ready to pony up for Graham's successor.

Wow. That kind of salary is why I thought UT would eventually get Schlossnagle, in spite of the initial reports.
The only thing that could've been better in this tweet is if Schlossnagle had his legs crossed because CDC wouldn't let him go to the head...

I can't imagine having read those words. I guess LSU probably passed UT as what I'd consider the top job in college baseball, but I'd have still bet that it would be among the top two or three.

At least we know if it's biting UT we might get a solution soon!

LSU is going to have a problem soon too. TOPS is in serious jeapordy of being cut during the Louisiana financial crisis.

Sounds like Pierce is going to get the job...

#HookEm has its next baseball coach. Can confirm @kbohls report that Tulane's David Pierce is the guy. More: http://rvls.co/292voqq
We had a pretty good clue a couple days ago when Tulane's pitching coach left to join LaTech as Assistant Head Coach.

He joined Goff at Alabama, not Burroughs at LA Tech. But yes, that was an interesting decision.
Also interestingly, Skip Johnson just took a job at OU. He was thought to be the UT coach-in-waiting for a long time.

Yeah, the loss of Skip Johnson is going to be HUGE, as the only aspect of the game keeping UT competitive the past 5 years has been their pitching, and by all accounts, Johnson was a big reason for that.

I had really hoped Pierce would come back here when the OG hung things up.
I find it interesting to read that UT isn't a Top 10 destination because of scholarship issues - what does that mean for Rice then?
