Why would O'Sullivan leave UF, other than a bloated contract?


Personal baggage, evidently.

the logic of an O’Sullivan over a Vitello


Remember when everyone wanted Tom Herman because he was the up and coming, young, hungry guy.

Well....

O'Sullivan would be a homerun hire if LSU can get hm.

He recruited well when he was an assistant at Clemson, too, though. Sully is not my first choice but I wouldn't hate it.

.@KendallRogersD1 just told @MattMoscona to not be surprised if Florida's Kevin O'Sullivan is the next South Carolina baseball coach #AFR

O'Sullivan got new facilities off of that ruse.

IMO, hiring Sully just means Florida will then go and hire one of the names that we should be hiring anyway.

Yeah, on Hanny's show they were just talking about a lot of "rumors" (they didn't get into details) that need to be addressed with O'Sullivan.

Hmm...

I am hoping that it is a smokescreen.

KOS would be more like my 3rd or 4th choice.

Someone said he fights off around 4 other in state baseball programs, but Florida has so much in state talent.

I just looked up Florida’s roster and it is literally all Florida.

Bad take IMHO...

Vitello is winning and thriving at Tennessee!!! and quickly. He’s already succeeding in the SEC.

Herman winning at Houston is no comparison.

I don’t know
I can see him wanting to get away but I can also see it making him realize how precious children are & not moving away from his

I don't know why you would have to. Coaches are probably blowing up Woodward's phone trying to get an interview.

If the rumor I've seen is true you'd have to give him the Mike Price treatment before he ever coached a game.

That’s horrible.

It gets worse, the piece of shite booster took his two sons with him. Definitely not something that sports radio guys want to or need to talk about.

I think you still prefer attention away from your primary targets. At least initially. For whatever reason. I could be wrong though.

As for baseball HC, I can dig the hire I guess, but as a person, he just seems like a arrogant dickhead, and would rather someone else as the head coach just for this reason alone, esp. if the rumors are true of his baggage

No shot that rumor is true. That booster also killed his son, who happened to also be the batboy, as well

Dont see how Sully would still be coaching if true

I think hiring O'sullivan is a mistake, but I suppose time will tell.


I've been wrong before, hope I am wrong here but I wouldn't touch him at this time.
