re: Paul Mainieri potential replacement thread

It's funny the evolution of hot names to replace CPM over the years.

For a while it was Schlossnagle or O'Connor.....then both of them missed the tournament (not Omaha...they didn't make a regional).

Then it was Gary Gilmore....he didn't make the tournament the year after winning the CWS and then got sent home in a regional the two following years.

Then it was O'Sullivan......he failed to host a regional last year and got sent home by Dallas Baptist.

The reality is, it's very difficult to consistently make it to Omaha. If CPM underachieves again this year, I'm all for making the change, but I don't think there's a nobrainer hire out there right now. There are some good candidates, but all come with the risk of producing worse results.
