Just curious,where did this come from

It was in June when the University of Texas interviewed Mainieri about becoming the next coach of the Longhorns, after longtime coach Augie Garrido stepped down as the winningest coach in college baseball history.
As soon as word spread, those four players and a few others immediately reached out to their coach.
"I knew his phone had been going off," Freeman said. "I was like, 'I'm just going to make sure and stop by the field. If he's there, I'll talk to him.' Luckily he was here."
He wasn't alone for long.
Following Freeman were Deichmann and Robertson, who arrived together, and later joined by ace pitcher Alex Lange and catcher Michael Papierski.
"There were five, six or seven guys who came in and said we want him as the head of our team," Deichmann said.
What they wanted was for the coach to continue with a team that in 2017 would return eight starting players, including two leading pitchers, to a team that came just short of reaching the College World Series.

I don't think CPM was serious about Texas, just wanted a raise, and boy did he get one. Got the kind of raise you would think follows a World Series championship. Why not call these coach's bluff once in a while? LSU had a very competent replacement on staff in Cannizaro{spelling?} who would have probably been happy with CPMs old salary.

I thought that the players rallied around him last year when Texas was courting him and word leaked that he could leave for the 'Horns. According to several articles, players went to him and told them they wanted him to be their coach.
They aren't quitting. They may be discouraged at their play. If they quit that would say more about them than about PM. We weren't in any better shape at this point last season.
