I'm assuming Murph screwed up bad...and yes, the most attractive college baseball job just opened up.
I can say with utmost certainty that Ken Knutson, the interim coach who got fired at UW last year, will not be the full time successor.

Even if it was, it still wouldn't make sense without A LOT more information. If you were to force a coach out, why wouldn't you do it in June so you can go find a coach? I've never heard of a college coach getting forced out right after fall ball ends. You can't sign a coach until the end of the season unless someone will be willing to leave their current position at a very poor time. ASU now has a full season with an interim coach and 6-7 months of recruiting lost to a lack of certainty with their program. Just doesn't make sense to me...

Another baseball contact from AZ sent me this....
"I have someone very close to the boosters at ASU and he confirmed that the NCAA is about to go public on a bunch of violations against the program...including recruiting violations and many other things like kids being mis-treated. ASU forced him out is what I am being told."

Thanks Dee.
Brett, even if Dee hadn't posted that, that's what I would have guessed. There had to have been something BIG coming through the pipeline, but the University didn't get wind of it until it was around this time of the fall. Otherwise, you're right, the timing makes zero sense.

Im confident that Pat will land another quality gig.
....The interim head coach (Tim Esmay) was one of my coaches in college.....hes a pretty good dude.

I second that...welcome CBB. The timing of all of this stills seems so odd to me. Who has ever seen a College Baseball Coach fired in late November? Nothing about it makes sense to me.
