Todd Raleigh from Western Carolina has been hired by the Vols. I was very impressed with the Catamounts at the Chapel Hill Regional. I'm sure he'll be missed in Cullowee. WCU has sent out some pretty fair coaches, including Jack Leggett, and Keith LeClaire.

From the Knoxville News:

Raleigh's hiring comes after other potential candidates opted not to leave their jobs.


It also states that Tony Delmonico will go to FSU.

The big question is: Should Coach Raleigh RENT or BUY a house in Nocksville? Razz

Raleigh is part of Coach Leggett's coaching tree.

All of his former players or coaches have had success as head coaches.

Leggett coached at WCU, didn't he? That turned out pretty good for Clemson, I believe.

Could it be that the shine is clouding the thought process in Nocksville --- Let's see ---- Delmonico is out with a 699 - 396 record and Raleigh is in with a 257 - 209 record???

Definitely an interesting hire... seemed like there were a number of Mid D1 coaches out there with greater success that might have been interested in the job, of course the downside is the job is in Tennessee (just kidding... Wink )

I heard their #1 preferred choice, a coach out in Omaha, did not meet their academic criteria. Roll Eyes

College baseball, ya gotta love it.

Alright, I don't really want to ruffle any feathers of course.
-Cheap joke referencing Tenn. academics deleted by poster-
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Roll Eyes

Love that new avatar TPM. Smile


BTW, New Mexico has hired a new Coach from the JC ranks. Kinda highlights the disparity in programs. Wink

CD,
I posted it because when I read that (about the academic criteria for the coach) it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. This coach took a team to Omaha.

You are one of the best but sometimes worry too much about being a bit too PC. I do not see what is wrong here. Am I missing something?
