Not saying Ramsey will be the only candidate but they are coming no doubtReally hope FSU doesn't come for Ramsey
Oh, crapNot saying Ramsey will be the only candidate but they are coming no doubt
As long as they stay away from Ramsey! Although I think they'll go established coach route instead.LINK
Been lots of heat in Tally over his failure to win 40 games/season and/or make it to Omaha since his dad retired.
IIRC Meat had one year on his contract left at $450K.
That was a quick hook. Basically gave him 2 years not counting that Covid year (which no one does when they make excuses for coaches). Do you think there is any more to it than just performance?LINK

Some in the twitterverse speculating that the Clemson opening scared FSU into moving quick with concerns Clemson would pursue Jarrett.D1 Baseball's Kendall Rogers notes Link Jarrett, Notre Dame's head coach, as the likely front runner. Doesn't name any other potential candidates, but says that more candidates could emerge. Jarrett played for FSU from 1991-1994 and has a degree from FSU.
Kendall noted that as well. Was going to post that in the FSU fires... thread, but got lazy on a Friday afternoon...Some in the twitterverse speculating that the Clemson opening scared FSU into moving quick with concerns Clemson would pursue Jarrett.
Not everyone needs to see half a decade of mediocre results to pull the trigger. FSU cares about athletics. They’ve done it in football quickly and now baseball. They may be down in both but they’ll be back in both because they want to be back.That was a quick hook.

You may very well be right, but something tells me there have already been behind the scenes discussions with Ramsey with regard to a possible opening at FSU. Usually before a head coach is fired feelers will go out to potential replacements in the form of boosters or other friends of the program. I don't have anything more than a gut feeling that something like this may have happened with Coach Ramsey which prompted the promotion to Associate head coach before our season was over. The timing of that happening just doesn't seem like a coincidence. I find it hard to believe if all of us fans are thinking about it, the powers that be at Tech haven't sat down with him and shared their vision of his future with the program and asked what assurances he needs to stay at Tech.Not saying Ramsey will be the only candidate but they are coming no doubt

Seems to me if FSU is firing Martin after 3 years that included covid over 2 seasons... then they have somebody already effectively locked up. I don't know how these things work, but that's pretty quick to fire a guy. His dad set a high bar... big expectations from fan base & school.
If Ramsey does end up the successor... more power to him walking into that. Also... in my mind, IF that happens, Ga Tech didn't "blow it with Ramsey" ...Ga Tech never had a chance, Ramsey just will have ended up where he wants to be.
I love what Ramsey's done. You put it perfectly "strongest part of our program" ...we'll know much more once FSU & Clemson make hires.We have little real knowledge and less control over what happens. But Ramsey to me is by far the strongest part of our program right now. Certainly the hitting part he is responsible for is one of the best in the country and the other phases (pitching and defense) not so much. Again limited knowledge but some.
Ramsey should be in the driver's seat based on what he has done so far in his career. Let's hope his wife's and now his ties to GT are strong enough to keep him. And that he gets enough salary to stay. Stansbury could have blown it already by not providing enough behind the scenes assurances. Here's to hoping Ramsey stays.

I have no desire to defend Stansbury but Ramsey isn't the ONLY guy who can be the next head coach & succeed. The job will draw outstanding coaching candidates. If it is someone else other than Ramsey (no matter how it happens), we cannot preemptively say TStan blew it. Let's at least wait & see how this plays out.
Interesting reading between lines of Link Jsrrett's statement. Certainly didn't "commit" to staying in South Bend.
