    some former players are trying to convince him to go back as coach and bring in a top notch coach to finally replace him. Will this become a reality? That is the $50 million question.

    Makes me wonder why SKip hired him in the first place. Didnt he come from Ulala or LaTEC? He should have gotten some one like tommy lasorda w/ a lil MLB experience not some collage joker ?-- No offence to Smoke.

    I wonder how much of a pay cut Skip took when he quit coaching? Anybody know? Or if it was cut at all?

    I doubt it was a cut at all.

    No good coach would want to follow Skip, its always harder walking in the shoes of a legend.

    So my take is that he found a coach that would not be great, but at the same time would not lead the team straight into the ****ter.

    Well, the coaches make more than the chancellor of the school, so it wasn't illogical that the coaches that he hired make more than he does.
