I am on a graveyard schedule. I am currently not wanting to go to sleep, because I fear I will wake up to Bianco being named coach.

He might leak it if he wants Bianco to get the job and is campaigning for him


Meh...if you really want that then this type of leak could be a severe miscalculation.

Man. I hope this was just a courtesy to the Skip faction of the good ol boy network and Woody isn’t seriously considering hiring someone Ole Miss will be happy to get rid of.

I can't imagine why LSU wouldn't wait until the end of the CWS if they feel like Bianco would take this job.

I don't understand the rush. He isn't going anywhere else.

They only care about the casual fan, not really the internet outrage.

The casual fan is likely going to be happy with Mike. LSU baseball arrogance will tell them “well if he can win there, just imagine what he could do here! Plus he’s a former tiger and bleeds purple and gold!!!”

Sounds very similar to when they leaked that Pat Casey was in Baton Rouge to gauge how the fan base felt about it


They didn’t need to leak Bianco to gauge interest. Fans have been upfront from day 1 when his name was mentioned. Keep him away

This has to be a done deal. How can our side leak out this much info, then not hire him and have him slump back to Ole Miss, “I’m so happy to be here.” His fan base at Ole Miss is already souring in him, add this in and he may be fired within 365 days.

And we won’t stop

If you’re okay with this “safe hire”, you’re part of the problem

Baseball doesn’t have many “casual” fans like football imo

Possibly for the purpose of recruiting upper class men to return? The draft is right after the CWS. That would only give any other coach 11 days? I don’t know…just a thought.

I'd say a big chunk of season ticket holders are blue hairs that will accept this hire since Skipper signed off on it. They'll trot out all the 90s nostalgia names to come out and sell you on how awesome Mike is. Ben McDonald is on deck to endorse him soon I'd bet.

so he's doing exit interview and on campus here at the same time? If Mike is in fact a wizard, I may change my stance on hiring him

I believe Mike Bianco said the reason neither of his sons went to Ole Miss is because he didn’t want to coach them and they also didn’t want to play for him because it creates a conflict of interest... hopefully still holds that opinion


It’s also well known that he wouldn’t pass up on the job because Drew was here.
