Gunner Leger Back on Board

[CajunVic]

Did someone say committee . . .

[Cajunrunner]

Guy gave an honest assessment and didn't bash one bit. All valid concerns. I guarantee you every MLB player is not coaching material.

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.

I think you are correct.

Great prognostication . . . any word on whether he plans to use the committee . . .

I sorta doubt he is a strong committee guy.

[CajunVic]

I don't think he is a strong committee guy.

If he gets enough to work with, that would be even better. If not, there is always the committee . . .

[Dad04]

I think you are correct.

I hope so, but nobody will remember anyway.

He will likely work his way into a role in recruiting/scouting. All the ingredients are there.

I didn't see it coming, but he is at the perfect age to leverage this opportunity into a long and successful career.

Surely that is the long term plan, otherwise why ever start . . . Look at where Justin has landed and where Karley will be on the softball side . . . Justin went through pains finally landing where he has landed . . .
