mustache eagle 2,427 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This is a classic "there is more to the story" ... Another version is a bama coach inappropriately went off on a lower level staff person and Essentially CSG defended him. Then the 2 head coaches amicably worked it out. I don't trust phillip marshals reporting of anything to do with the AU baseball program anymore ... Which is where some (I think a lot) of this came from.

PVilleTiger 0 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 CSG could be successful. He needs a few more bats imo and 1 or 2 more good arms in the bullpen. I like how he puts pressure on the pitcher by aggressive running and trying to bunt for hits. He still has questionable coaching decisions though. I still cant figure out how we lost the first game of our regional against CoC. We had it won and pissed it away. It will be very interesting to see where he has this team next year. Hopefully another year of coaching and they're maybe playing for a realistic chance to host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I doubt the OP story was accurate. We all have heard by now from Oklahoma alums, even Joe Simpson, that Sonny was a dick, but I doubt Golloway is so much of a dick that he would break some unwritten rules of baseball. Such as not allowing other teams use the batting cages before the games. Because I know Sonny would want to use the batting cages when he is on the road.

PowerOfDixieland 3,227 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 We all have heard by now from Oklahoma alums, even Joe Simpson.... I see what you're doing, you're not even close. Joe Simpson has never met Sunny Golloway. As for Phillip Marshmallow, where's the follow up? "That’s what I know. There is lots of chatter about what was said and what has happened behind the scenes since, but I’m not going there without more information than I have now." A "reporter" gets the whole (verified) story. He is simply a blogger...throw it out there and see how many hits you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,427 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That's what was so bad about his story on that situation. He said he wasn't "going there" but he went there enough to plant the seed that CSG was unhinged. Heck, CSG may have been completely off the rails but there is another version out there and it wasn't presented at all that was much more favorable ... And in my opinion, more believable.

Did I imply that Joe has ever met him....Joe has an awfully strong opinion for not ever meeting him. Just to make it clear, again, I don't think the OP is correct. I was trying to make that point...

I live and work in the Tuscaloosa area, and reached out to someone who would be in the know with Alabama, about what did or did not happen. I got no response, which tells me, the version that Marshall told, is not true. If it had been, it would have been verified. And the version I gave, was the version about the Bama assistant going off on the lower level Auburn staffer. If it did not happen that way, he would have told me I was way off base. And Capstone report said the same thing as PM did, so that is all I need to know, that it is nothing but garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,227 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (Formerly) Clemson's Jack Leggett is now available. Seriously, damn! Radakovich (Clemson AD) isn't messing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 CSG will have Auburn winning consistently over the long run with 40 plus win seasons. He is not perfect, but really folks, how many college baseball coaches are perfect? I am thrilled to have him as our BB coach. We are very fortunate to have him, and I stand behind him 110%.

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I support CSG as our coach and look at what he has done in his short time here. If you don't think that going through this year and making it to a Regional given the competition that we faced in the SEC and elsewhere, I don't know more to tell you but just look at who is in the CWS. How many of those guys did we play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,227 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 ...but really folks, how many college baseball coaches are perfect? Tim Corbin - Vanderbilt Paul Mainieri - LSU Jim Schlossnagle - TCU Brian O'Connor - Virginia Wayne Graham - Rice Pat Casey - Oregon State Dave Van Horn - Arkansas Danny Hall - Georgia Tech Mike Gillespie - UC Irvine George Horton - Oregon I would have put Jack Leggett on that list, but Clemson just fired him. I also think Hall is getting close to wearing out his welcome in Atlanta. There are some really great college baseball coaches out there who are also really nice guys, but it is rare. Golloway often lets his competitive nature get the best of him and he expresses it by wanting to punch somebody in the face (figuratively). If you don't have overwhelming talent it is possible to overcome that with a team that will fight the same way. I choose to accept that, in fact I'd prefer that in a team.

Good list...don't know the guy at Fullerton but they seem to show up about this time every year. Note that the good guys don't move around much...rarely for that matter. Most schools on that list have great facilities and pretty good access to good ball players and they apparently know when they have a good thing going. JMO but Clemson will regret firing Leggett....time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,227 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 ...don't know the guy at Fullerton but they seem to show up about this time every year. Cal State Fullerton is on a different plane. Their coaching history is basically a list of hall of fame coaches. Augie Garrido 16 CWS appearances - current Texas coach (who is far from perfect, by the way) Larry Cochell 4 CWS appearances - former OU coach (that Golloway replaced after a less than perfect ESPN interview in '05) George Horton 6 CWS appearances - current Oregon coach Dave Serrano 2 CWS appearances - current Tennessee coach (who has done almost nothing in Knoxville) There was a lot of money put on the table to get all four of those guys out of California. Phil Knight basically said whatever it takes when they resurrected the program in Eugene in '09. Currently, Rick Vanderhook is the guy...4 years at the helm, 4 regionals, 2 super regionals, and now 1 CWS appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be something in the water at Fullerton...maybe like College of Charleston....guys do great at those schools until they go somewhere else? JMO but it''s hard to know what makes a good coach....other than great talent perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,820 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think Clemson made the right move as long as they know who they want to replace him with. Jack is a good guy for the Tigers, but the program has slowly begun to lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
