Wonder who WB will hire when Pete goes to Auburn?

From talk on a game broadcast a while back, it sounded like they may hire
assistant coach that has been there for years, Emily Carosone. She's been there with Dean since 2017 so they may hire from within.

Softball America just said OK State's Kenny Gajewski was at the top
This was their comments: "Gajewski would be the home run hire and quite the swing to take. He has built one of the best teams year in and year out in Stillwater. However, it’s also worth considering how conference realignment factors in. Oklahoma and Texas are departing for the SEC, does it make sense for Gajewski to follow suit? One of the best at using the transfer portal, Gajewski could seemingly spring Auburn back to a Women’s College World Series roster rather quickly."

Buyout
Heard his buyout, close to a Million, scared them off Kenny G...... If they do get him, it would mean they really opened the checkbook. Millions spent on softball? Including the buyout? over 5 years? Just for a coach? For a second tier SEC Program? (IMO)...... Also, Auburn baseball holds last place status in the SEC. Auburn AD has his hands full.

Auburn will get a booster to pay the buyout if they want him bad enough.
In case you missed it, Auburn spends money on coaches like it grows on trees….including buyouts….

Yeah, they set the standard with Jimbo Fisher’ buyout.
Of course, the hiring of Jimbo and his original and later amended contract qualifies for the dingbat move of the century (at least to this point). Texans might have a lot of financial resources but pissing it away on a football coach is stupid to the millionth degree.

Agree. That is what I call, Stupid Money.
That money could do a lot of good in the world.

I can't see Kenny going to Auburn but it's a crazy business so ???

Exactly. Why would he leave Oklahoma State for a bottom-tier SEC team??
Especially when Oklahoma and Texas are going to the SEC. Oklahoma State can be a Big 12 dynasty, Auburn won't be close to that in the SEC.

Right. With OU and UT coming in it's not getting easier in SEC. Getting the
tablescraps that OU, UT, Bama, UF, LSU, etc. leave on the recruiting trail won't be ideal either. I just can't see a big time P5 (at the moment) coach taking that job, including Pete.

Maybe to get a reaction. Maybe to be a jerk. Maybe to imply knowing
something others do not. Who knows? P.S. I know you did not ask me. I just wanted to post what I posted.

If I had to guess, I'd go with your second possibility.
