We are both in a position where neither one of us can tell all of what we know. I believe everything you have ever said about coaching behavior because I have seen the same things. A segment of college baseball becoming big business has escalated bad moral & ethical judgments among coaches in that arena IMO. Anytime I advise a player/parent on the recruiting process I tell them every program begins with the HC. Take a hard look at that guy and figure out if he is a good man, that is fair, and treats people the right way. People like that hire like minded people to work with them. Then the program becomes a reflection of the HC in a good way. Those are the programs to choose. However, as we have all learned this week, the more money that’s involved the fewer high character HCs you will find. The D3 experience that hasn’t been tainted by money is getting more attractive every day.
@adbono Agree. The formula is pretty simple.
1 - Head Coaching Tenure

2 - HC Roster Management strategy over a period of time (3 to 4 yrs) (HS, JUCO /Portal)
3 - For New coaches, where was he before (what was their) roster management strategy
For example, Link Jarrett was hired June 24, 2022.
