Deggs has been doing a damn good job while mostly getting JUCO guys. I think while most are going out and getting these top notch guys from the transfer portal it allows us to get better JUCO talent

The arms race in college baseball just went into overdrive. ATM already raised 80m to renovate one of the best college baseball stadiums in the country.
Now they are mad. If they need to raise another 5-10m to get the coaching staff they want, consider it done.
If someone decides they want to pay Deggs 500k or whatever he would need to be their hitting coach, consider that done as well.
College baseball has been my favorite sport since attending the CWS in 2000. It was the last truly amateur major college sport. The sun is setting on that.
Yeah I don’t think we have to worry about A&M poaching Deggs for the HC job. They just played in the CWS finals and lost by 1 run. They will be looking for a major splash hire. I imagine someone from the SEC or ACC, or hell maybe someone from the disbanded PAC-12. But it will be a big name from a big program they can outbid. I don’t think they will look to take a chance on a G5 coach.
Now if they wanna get a guy like Deggs as a hitting coach then sure we have something to worry about. Higher pay and fewer responsibilities is a win. If that happens, can we afford to up his pay to be competitive with what A&M is paying for a hitting coach? That is the only scenario I would be worried about.
