Delmonico fired at Tenn. Hadn't made it to the postseason since 2005, pretty tough expectations in the SEC I guess. Hope he finds a good place to land.

For those wondering .......


Delmonico graduated from Liberty University in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in physical education, and lettered in baseball and soccer. He holds a master's degree from Clemson University in education administration.

I was

thanks!

[flameshaw]

Thanks krh, I should have realized not everyone knew his background.

[Fumblerooskies]

One has to wonder if his son will remain at UT...or transfer out like Mike Roberts' son did when canned at UNC.

[Cider Jim]

Well, LU does need a pitching coach: could Delmonico coach our pitching staff?

[The Rock]

This is getting more interesting by the second

[Fumblerooskies]

Delmonico is a hitting/defense guy...
...I had no idea he was an LU grad.

We're infiltrating society undercover.

We're infiltrating society undercover.

Wasn't that always the point?

[The Shooter]

Best I can tell Delmonico was making 130,000 per year plus camps etc. Is Liberty anywhere near that range for a head coach ? Curious how close they might be.

[TruthSlayer11]

Not going to happen and it's not only b/c of the pay

[The Shooter]

I can see size of the school as one reason....but what are the others your referring ? Experience of the coach, record ??? conference schedule???

[The Rock]

maybe, what he is referring to is the amount of money that he will be paid as a severance package.

[Sly Fox]

I wondered what his relationship with the school has been over the past decade. I assume that is what truthslayer is referring to in his cryptic post.

Why are we referring to this guy by last name only? This is Rod Delmonico right? I remember him when he played. Terrific defensive centerfielder with excellent speed and an impressive guy to talk to. I'm not surprised he achieved as a coach.
