Corbin overrated?

Something I haven't seen broached yet. Could be argued that he is considering the scholarship advantage. Top recruiting class year over year and only 2 Champs to show for it.

Yes. It could be said they have underperformed prior to 2019.

This is Corbin's last chance to use the LSU opening as a way to get one last raise from Vandy

Yes it has, and you could make an argument for every coach in college baseball to be overrated. No one is without some question marks.

Yep Corbin sucks.

A lot of people have discussed it being slightly risky.
He's 60 years old and has big recruiting advantages. I would rather leave him be if we can get McDonnell, Godwin, Vitello, or Johnson I think.

The only coach not overrated is Vitello.

We’ve gotten to the point where we’re overrating the private school thing a bit. It’s a nice advantage but you’ve still gotta get the guys in there and develop them. Why isn’t every private school winning on Vandy’s level if it’s that easy?
Guys our willing to bet on themselves with Vandy because they trust Corbin and his staff to further develop them and make more money.

Well they don't all have Opportunity Vanderbilt type programs. They COULD, but they don't.
And I'm not saying he's not a great coach, he is. I just think he's pretty damn old to be moving to a job where he might have to work even harder to recruit.
I obviously would welcome it. He's a tier one guy. I'm just overly-dissecting the guys in that tier and he's pretty risky due to age and OV. I could see him calling it quits in 5-7 years and then we're back at square one.

Corbin was part of a Clemson staff that went to 4 CWS in 8 years. He also took Presbyterian, a college that was just starting back up its baseball program, to the playoffs in their division 3 staright years before getting offered a job at Clemson. He knows how to coach outside the private school sector
Opportunity Vanderbilt has also only been around since 2008. He managed to sign guys like David Price and become the #1 overall national seed in the NCAAT in 2007 without it. Vanderbilt was a nothing program before he got there
Age would be my only real concern with him

Because not every private school is willing to waste endowment funds on baseball to create an unfair advantage. Opportunity Vanderbilt is a HUGE advantage. Every player is fully funded based on so-called economic need. A criteria that Candy does not have to define, disclose, or describe.

Don't want Corbin at 60 the only way to go is down. I don't want to do this again 6 years from now. frick just hire Vitello, Johnson, or Godwin. That's my 3.

Corbin is still coaching his team in the CWS as defending champs and your asking if he’s overrated?
Posted on 6/23/21 at 4:51 pm to CatfishJohn
Pawl wearing down has given people PTSD and lumping all in with him. Has Corbin showed he no longer wants to be involved in recruiting ? Does he make lazy arse staff hires? Has he admitted to coasting following his NC?

How do you think Stanford, Dallas Baptist, Rice, TCU, and Duke are fielding the teams they do.
Candy plays in the SEC and fully funds. Those listed don't play in the best conference in the country and don't fully but do substantially contribute from endowment money.

Is Bama outspending the rest of the country in football the reason for their success or is it Saban ?
