re: Reaction if it’s Brian O’Connor of Virginia?

If we're trying to replace a coach who lacked in the player development aspect the later part of his career, how we would rectify that issue by hiring a guy who has a terrible reputation in the baseball industry for player development?

Teaching hitting and pitching styles that are at least antithetical to professional development but can also be dangerous for the student athlete.

He's able to get a certain caliber of student to UVA that may or may not care as much about their athletic career after they leave school. LSU can't lean on the academics in the sthame way and e players that come here (at least the really good ones) expect to be developed into pro prospects.

He would be a bad fit from a culture, recruiting, player development, and energy standpoint.
