Uca, I kinda thought this was gonna happen. Knew it didn't excite you then and doesn't sound like it does anymore now
I'll be happy if we hire Johnson. His track record especially at DBU is impressive.  Just don't want to lose Vitello as well.

Right. Johnson has done some good work. My only question with Johnson is his recruiting.

We need to do whatever it takes to keep Vitello. Hitting and recruiting have both improved under him.

As long as we have Vitello, the pitching coach doesn't have to be an ace recruiter. He just needs to be a great teacher.  Vitello will get the studs to campus.

Is the mizzou job officially open now?   If so, and if everything we hear is true about mutual interest, what shot would we have to keep him?   I'm sure there are ways to sweeten the pot but no one has suggested a coach-in-waiting thing.

Yeah, it was announced this weekend. I'm not sure if we could keep Vitello if he was offered the Mizzou job.  It is his alma mater and a SEC job.  Those jobs don't come open every day.  From what I've heard, Vitello is enjoying working in Fayetteville, and this class getting to campus in the fall is really his first class so he might want to stick around and see the fruit of his labor on the trail.  Remember, the majority of the TCU team was recruited by him.

He's been a real asset at Arkansas and I would love to keep a while longer.  Can't blame him if he is ready to lead his own program.  Mizzou could make him or break him.

That is probably the major problem. Mizzou athletics as a whole is not a great environment to step into right now. Really hope the time is not right for Vitello to go there and we can keep him for a few more seasons.

I'd say it's happening. He's deleted his @MSUCommandVelo Twitter account.

I'm excited about the innovation he can bring to our training regimen and pitching staff as a whole

Is this the biggest assistant coach hire in the history of razorback sports?

Umm... They named the football award for assistant coaching after this school (essentially) and Broyles. I'm pumped about the hire but wow...

That is a little much. Big hire for sure, but I would say football has had a number of assistants who were bigger hires.

I'm pretty sure our new O line coach, will be the biggest assistant hire for a while, he's probably got Wes by 70 to 80 lbs. Have you seen the guy?

He is a big ol boy.

I would wager he's got him by more than that.

You are probably right, I started to put it into triple digits, but I didn't want to sound ugly.

looking at in from a different angle. Wes is not a huge dude at all. But he always made up for it by being smart and technically sound. He's a really good baseball mind. Thrilled we got him!

Gene Keady was a dang good hire for Eddie in basketball. Also as someone else touched on it isn't called the Broyle's award for nothing. That being said this one is right up there at the top.

But did any come from elite teams that are conference rivals?  I can't think of any but I'm pretty young (30).

Todd Butler?

This is really a par for the course hire by DVH. He only hires big time assistants.  This will be his third pitching coach in his career as a D-1 HC.  The other two are Rob Childress and Dave Jorn.

And i think those are two of the best pitching coaches in the last ten years.

Rob Childress is a stud when it comes to pitchers - and you see what happened (as close as you can come to back to back cws appearances without doing it) when he hired will bolt to go with him. (When he went to the cws before, he had two major league pitchers in Michael wacha and Ross stripplig, and Matt deggs ran the offense)

So yeah... Dvh seems to know what he's doing with this pc thing.
