Everyone and their mama knew Ethan was never going to make it to campus since his sophomore season

Good for him but too bad for us the rumor of him coming to OSU was unfounded. Seems like he would have been a quality addition and maybe brought some new ideas to the table.

Apparently Trey Cobb is not being promoted as it would have been announced by now. I am hearing that Josh is wanting a younger up and coming Pitching Coach. I heard on radio Tom Dirato in jest saying Tom Holliday is still very active and could take over the Pitching Coach job. Tom Holliday is my age 71-72 and I am still working full time!

In jest. Meaning he’s making fun of this board

lol. Yes. Yes it is.

Have you ever actually talked to a Holiday? It may be a joke, but there’s a certain amount of dread that there may be truth to it

Seemed funny when Darado brought this up. Did Gary Ward work as assistant Coach when his son Rocky Ward was the HC at NMS? Some pitching coaches may think Josh is on the hot seat and hesitant to take the OSU pitching coach position at a reduced pay. My guess is the MSU pitching coach decided to stay at MSU due to being in the SEC and making a higher salary at MSU than OSU would offer.

It’s on the table in Tom’s head at least

No. He was making fun of you

Tom Holliday isn’t going to be the pitching coach…relax!!!

 

[andylicious]

Tim Holliday isn’t going to be the pitching coach…relax!!!

Tim might not, but Tom very well could

Ok here's a thought, and maybe I'm too hard on Josh, or the Hollidays for this:

Other than Josh, not one Holliday has played for OSU. We love to celebrate Matt's career as an MLB player, but he's not a former Cowboy. Neither is Jackson.

So what about Ethan? That family shouldn't be struggling for money. Their uncle sure could use the help. Is there any chance he plays for OSU?

Neither of those boys want to play for their uncle? Be a part of the family legacy? Seems like that's a no.

After Jackson struggled the way he did, I’d be on a bee line for Stillwater if I’m Ethan. MLB is a grown mans game. Three years of working out and seeing better than high school pitching can’t hurt.

But it isn’t going to happen.

The problem is your uncle is kind of a proven idiot when it comes to coaching hitting

Tom isn’t a candidate. Never has or will be

Jackson got an 8 mil signing bonus to bonuce between triple A and the majors for a year. No way Eathn passes on that if the money is anywhere close.
