I wouldn't melt but he seems to be a West Coast guy.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:08 pm to doze4
Only negative I see is he is a west coast lifer. No experience in south or SE.
Serrano at UT is an example
ETA- an example of a great west coach coach at SEC school. Fit matters. Not saying he wouldn’t be great, just a potential risk

You give me any one of these and I’ll be thrilled:
Corbin
Vitello
O’Donnell
O’Connor
Bakich
Godwin
Johnson
Now surely Scott Woodward can reel in one of these seven without settling for Bianco.

He is not in my top 3, but he is probably a top 10 coach. Definitely wouldnt hate it

Skip was from Miami, Saban was from West Virginia, Will Wade was an east coast guy.
Guy signed the #1 class in 2008 and #2 class in 2010 at freaking San Diego
(Baseball America)
10 guys on current team batting over 300. TEN
Team batting average 329

Sully, 7 CWS in 10 Years and he was not good enough for the Rant so nothing will be.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:20 pm to CDawson
It was other issues with Sully

So he was the coach when Kris Bryant played for San Diego?
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:27 pm to sta4ever
Yes.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:33 pm to Adajax
Don’t think he’d fit here culture wise. West coastie

Yep, #2 overall pick in the draft
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:39 pm to Dueces
That would be determined when he came in for an interview.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:39 pm to Adajax
So if he wins the CWS this year do you just say he's a west coast guy. Not good enough? ??
Posted on 6/19/21 at 2:46 pm to texastigerr
Never said he wasn't good enough. Said I didn't think he would be a good cultural fit. How many West Coast mother frickers are in this region winning?

Augie made transition to Texas and won two Natty’s so it can happen. Difference is Serrano was all small ball and Augie was more power game. It appears Johnson is also more power than typical West Coast small ball so he may be fine. I’m not politicking for him by any means but he wouldn’t be a terrible hire.

I might would agree if Arizona was your typical West Coast (small ball) type team. but he's got big dudes that can Mash. These guys look eerily similar to a vintage Skip Bertman type team.

I'm talking more along the lines of his coaching/recruiting roots and personality. Agree with you on the makeup of their team.

If you can get the #1 and #2 recruiting classes signed at San Diego, I am sure his recruiting would translate here just fine. One of his biggest strengths is recruiting.
Posted on 6/19/21 at 3:28 pm to doze4
Yeah I think scoring those two monster recruiting classes in 08 and 10 may just be his best accomplishment. It's insane the talent he pulled there.
