Well this is certainly good news! Happy to have Gunner a part of the baseball program again.

"Leger Le Bon Temps Rouler"
Exactly. He walks in the door with a legendary career, getting it done. He will have instant credibility in the bullpen. Everybody who has pitched one inning knows confidence is key. He has it and will pass it out every day. Only good things happen when you can add a certified wizard to the coaching staff.
This move was a surprise when I heard about it. Just one more win for the RP Committee.
Did someone say committee . . .
Agree.
However, we have to be honest with ourselves. We're not an SEC, Big 12 or ACC baseball program. We are going to need to take some "risks" from time to time to hope to hit big. Hell, we did it in football with Napier. He came out of left field...well...for those of us not "in the know". It worked.
Leger knows how to succeed on the mound as a player. He was one of the best in the entire country during his time here. I think it's a well-taken risk to see if that experience can overcome any lack of experience in the coaching ring.
Looking back in five years this will be widely viewed as a genius hire.
