Well, I mean USCe was only 18 runs from taking the lead on Arky at that point. All they needed was 4 grand slams and a 2 run homer and boom! the cocks are leading.

Too bad we can’t just pretend this hire never happened.

If Paul needed money, probably could have found him something to do.

If he just wanted to coach again, I’m sure BR community college or some high school would let him help

i dont know who talked that man into going back out there and coaching or of it was something he thought he wanted to do but that man didnt want that grind again. He was just going through the motions at the end of his time here.
He talked himself into it when he got mad that Jay was having as much success as he was having.

People will say it was the money, but it was all ego and hubris.

the only coaches in college baseball in that timeframe that you can definitely say had more sustained success were Ray Tanner and Kevin O'Sullivan.

Agreed. He thought, if Jay can do it with all this support I could have. Yet it comes down to actually having knowledge of the players you are recruiting and not aimlessly taking the opinions of others as gospel. All the recruiting advantages in the world and he never personally did anything to use them. Outsourced everything when it comes to building rosters.
