yeah, you shouldn't. This just shows that the people who climbed on the 2 o'clock press conference thing got lucky that it actually ended up happening that way. There was a whole lot of stuff still going on that could have derailed that. The responsible media outlets backed away from that and waited for something concrete.I feel vindicated.
Good old Memorial Gym
we have been over this many times. He is their Barmore.
Lafayette fans say he has turned down a number of big time offers. They say the same about their football coach.
Baseball coach is from Lafayette and does not want to leave the area. That's what they have always said.
$125K plus and extra incentives.
alot of "they say" and he is "their Barmore"-so are you all saying every coach we hire loves it here, but don't stay because of $$$? But, they are paying enough in Lafayette and they love it there too. My point, whatever it is, they have stable athletic programs on a pretty consistent basis. Our golf and tennis coaches had good seasons-any rumors about them.
No one would want the football coach! The baseball coach always puts together a good team so they might be right on that one. I think their football program is safe from being raided anytime soon.
We've been to two regionals in the past three decades. In that same timeframe, Alabama has been to 17 regionals, five super regionals (as recently as six years ago) and made three College World Series appearances. History hasn't proven me wrong.

If they are that good they should have been in the mix this year and last year. Only one SEC team out of 7 is still in the mix and they all had a gift. Let's talk about the present not the past when Sim was tearing our program down.
I don't believe a word they state at ULL or in Lafayette.
I do believe OK Davis though. His comments below are great news and again shows LG's committment.
o.k. davis @OdavisO
Sources close to La Tech BB program said school had matched initial 'Bama offer of 300K, but then Tide upped it to 450K and Goff took it.
...and what was the final contract offer?I didn't mention a beginning offer.
Go away....and what was the final contract offer?
About Woof!

Go brush up on the historical prices of oil.
theprofessor is right.
And, they upped that idiot's contract to over a million until 2019.
At first, I thought this was a stupid move. He is in a position to make $300K plus for the next 20 years in Ruston, or, he can take a risk for $450K and probably get canned in 3 to 5 years.
Well....after going over to Bama's baseball site, http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-bas...sebl-body.html, and seeing that they've only had two coaches over the past 22 years, Goff easily made the right choice.
Jim Wells made the tournament 12 of 15 years, http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-bas...090109aaa.html.
And Gaspard in 4 of 7 years, http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-bas...053016aac.html.
The only strike against Gaspard is that his SEC record was generally at .500 during his years. Despite this, he still made the tournament.
Goff should do very well there.
Also, it is a NO BRAINER that Goff can get to the WS from Bama easier than from Ruston, simply because the SEC will get at least 10 auto-bids every year. Once you're in, anything can happen.
