Another Coach Bites the Dust

I assume simp that this is who you would be referring to? If so, can someone point out why I should be excited about Casey Dunn? I honestly don't know anything about him. All I know is that he is a little over .500 as a coach and has had 4 losing seasons out of 10 seasons. Not awful but not exactly what I call excellent either. Is Samford just that shitty of a baseball program. I seriously know nothing about him other than his record and know nothing of the program there.

I'm witcha' here. Dunn just makes me think we're in for more of the same. Not implying he's bad or anything, just nothing about that hire would make me feel any better about where we're heading.

So let's start the wish list:

1) Joe Torre
2) Bobby Cox
3) Manny Ramirez (funnest ball club ever!)
4) Ozzie Guillen
5) Ron Polk
6) Gus Malzahn
7) Terry Francona
8) Tony LaRussa
9) Terry Pendleton
10) Al Hrabosky
11) Gene Garber
12) Cal Ripken, Jr.
13) Earl Weaver (even though he's dead)
14) Sparky Anderson (even though he's dead)
15) Jim Leyland (even though he has appeared dead for 15 years)

Ozzie Guillen - we would win even if we lost. Sellout every game.

None of the above. I think we should go after Lou Brown, Mike Leak, or Morris Buttermaker. If we can't get one of those three then shut the fucking program down.
