Im not saying Corbin will come here, but to say he would not leave Vandy is just stupid. If he and the AD do not get along as has been reported, and a program like LSU comes open and offers more money dont think for one second Corbin would not entertain coming here. Working relationship with your AD is just as important as anything else.
They may or may not get along. But the reality is Corbin's baseball program is the ONLY sport in the entire department that is nationally relevant. Even if the AD doesn't particularly like him, she's not going to let the the most successful coach in her dept. get away easily.

and if LSU offesr him some where close to 3 million theres no way Vandy matches that.
They may not match it dollar for dollar. But they may not have to. It may just be a negotiation move to get LSU to set the "ceiling" as high as possible then negotiate with Vandy to get them as close to the ceiling as possible.
Corbin has his program rolling. They very well could win their third NC (two "back to back") soon. The BEST he could do at LSU is match his current success. Not reach new personal heights. It is entirely possible LSU could offer $500k more than Vandy is willing to pay. But there may be non-monetary value in not having to move your family to a new state and start all over revamping a new program just in an effort to get it to the level of your current program. Not having to do all of that might be worth leaving $500k or so on the table.
Hell, I've turned down jobs that offered to pay me more than I currently made simply because the increased headache and workload (taking away time from my family) was not worth the relatively minor increase in salary.

95% is pretty good. Congrats, OP

What if corbin’s thinking is bigger picture. What if he desires to be considered one of the best ever? What if he’s ready for the next challenge?
What if he’s offered top dawg money in his profession by arguably the most storied program in the modern era, which has led baseball attendance forever, who promises of facility upgrades and complete administrative support of your baseball program?
Corbin takes the best package offer ever presented to a college baseball coach and wins 2-3 titles here in the next decade. He is then considered one of the best ever, along side the likes of Bertman, Dedeux, Garrido, Marquess, Morris, and Martin.
It’s always about money, but it may not be only about money. Corbin MAY see the ultimate legacy opportunity…

It's certainly possible. He may be bored at Vandy. He may not like the school, Nashville, his boss, etc, etc. But he's already won two titles. He's in a position to possibly win a third...all at Vanderbilt. LSU is a great program. But CLEARLY he doesn't need to be at LSU to win championships. He can become one of the best ever at Vanderbilt. And he can do it without being directly compared to another one of the best (Bertman)
Maybe he just wants HUGE money. I certainly can understand that. But I doubt his "legacy" would have any bearing on a decision to leave Vandy to come to LSU. He's already well on his way to creating a tremendous legacy as the Vandy HC. He doesn't need to come to LSU to do that...no matter how great we all think the LSU program is.

With all of that in mind, IMO, the current status is to "go all out" for Corbin (in a similar fashion to the way Woodward hired Jimbo at A&M and Mulkey at LSU), with Godwin being the second choice if/when they can't get Corbin.
So you agree with me..this is the most logical argument to what's going on

you believe that its someone in omaha, then we very likely wont know by tuesday morning unless they play saturday and are bounced out on monday. More realistic to me is we know by next friday
Yeah ,I meant that we know that were waiting on someone if it gets to tuesday,but I think that's the case now,but by Tuesday it's just about a guarantee that Godwin or bianco arent the big fish were after. .woody shoots for the stars. Lol hes basically saying,"everybody thinks I cant get corbin? Well watch this motherfrickers. " then were paying our baseball coach 5million a year lol

I can totally buy that they’re after Corbin.
I’m just hoping that if Corbin doesn’t come to fruition that their backup plan is Vitello/McDonnell… and then move to Godwin/Bianco only after the first 3 dont happen
I certainly hope Bianco isn’t Plan B after Corbin. I do NOT believe Bianco should be in our Top3 targets.

Lol, I assume your talking the downvotes? I find it crazy that you can make a post that pretty much everybody is agreeing with and get downvoted.
I couldnt care less though. I've seen the opinions around here and know where I stand

Yep. I think they are exploring that possibility until it is pretty clear that door is closed. Otherwise, they would have made the hire already.
Right now there are only 8 HCs with teams still playing. It seems unlikely the HCs of NC State, Stanford, Arizona, and Mississippi State are in play. Perhaps O'Connor at UVA COULD be on the radar. But nothing suggests he is. That leaves Corbin and Vitello. I'll continue to lean on the fact Vitello just doesn't fit the profile of HCs Woodward has hired over the last few years. Plus, it's likely Tennessee is going to reward him handsomely for his work.
The "problem" from LSU's perspective is that they can't say anything while Vandy is still playing. Lest they risk a Les Miles to Michigan response on the day of the 2007 SECCG. Worse (for LSU) is the fact Vandy is one of the favorites to win the whole thing. Stranger things have happened, but it would be SHOCKING to see a guy win his 3rd NC then immediately leave to (sorry Tiger fans) take a step back (in LSU's current situation) at a new program.
The fact that LSU is (likely) still chasing Corbin means that there is mutual interest on both sides. The question is, is that interest real or simply for leverage purposes at Vandy? I suspect Woodward already has his fallback option decided. He's just trying to see if he can hit a grand slam before moving on to the next guy.

What if everyone is surprised? What if it is a coach currently in CWS, but an assistant??
Woody knows the importance of the hire and has 100x more info on every coach than we will ever know. I have no problem with him waiting in order to make the right choice.

Agreed. If I’m Corbin, at 59 years old, there is no way I’m leaving beautiful Nashville and all of my friends, and going to Baton Rouge to start over. Rather, I’m thinking of winding down and enjoying life. BTW, I’m one year younger than Corbin, so I can relate.

Bianco is on the B list. He would have been announced by now

The whistler, he alone could drive Corbin away.

The Ole Miss AD said Bianco had not been to LSU. He met with Bianco Wednesday morning and talked about the season, player exit interviews and the future, and said they would continue to discuss the future "over the next few days." He said Bianco and his wife left to to a condo they own, and wouldn't return until Sunday
He also said they never discussed the LSU job, which I don't believe for a second, but he could understand why Bianco might be interested in the job at his alma mater
