Mum is the word on the BARNERS New Coach

Elliott Avent has to be their first choice. Dunn would be the lazy, cop-out hire (something we are quite familiar with). Butch Thompson will probably be interviewed as well.
Dan McDonnell would be a great hire, but he already rejected the Barn before they hired Pawlowski.

I honestly think it will be Dunn this time. Avent I just don't see leaving Raleigh for the barn, he has been in the Carolina/Virginia area since the 80's.
If Dunn wants it I think he could be the only name to want the job (if you want to say that, he thinks his name is higher up than it really is). Dunn has one of the worst egos known to man.
Exactly. He's obviously not their first choice, nor should he be. If he gets the job, it's because several others turned it down. Dunn is coming off a poor 27-30 season, and how often do you see major conference programs hire a guy whose last season as a head coach was a losing one? Oh wait...Mitch Gaspard and Tom Slater.
No I think HE thinks he is better than he really is. I just don't see the barn getting a big name from a big school and that's why I think it will be Dunn.
I played for Sammy and know Casey. He learned a lot from his dad and he is a fine coach. Take a look at the Samford program before Casey arrived. He has won at a place you typically don't win and he had 7 draft picks off last year' team and had a 1st round pick on this years team. Put Casey in a SEC program and he will produce. TBH, I was hoping we would consider him for Bama. Casey signed with Auburn since Bama did not offer him but the Dunn family is a Bama family.
They are stalling on Dunn so it looks like they are doing a thorough search. If he isn't hired I'd be shocked. Dunn is a good coach.
It looks like Oklahomas Galloway has the inside track now.

Wow. That would certainly show a major commitment to baseball by the University of East Alabama. Much more of a commitment than has been shown in Tuscaloosa.
Galloway would be a HUGE hire for them. Dude knows how to bring some talent in, including the #3 pick from this years draft. I kind of hope they do get him and he elevates them and embarrasses our top brass so they realize how they have neglected baseball over the past few years and hopefully wake us up!!!!

Who would rank lower? I'm guessing Gary Henderson and Tim Jamieson...but that's about it.
Auburn did the right thing - they conducted a thorough, nationwide search for the best available candidate and hired him. Would have been nice if we'd bothered to put forth the least bit of effort and do the same back in '09 instead of opting for the lazy route and settling for mediocrity.
Sounds like he burned a bridge or two...........
