    "South Carolina assistant coach Chad Holbrook appears to be a leading candidate for the Winthrop job, if the Eagles want to make a strong push and make a splash. Holbrook is simply one of the very best recruiters and hitting coaches in college baseball—he has played a central role in building teams at North Carolina and South Carolina that reached the College World Series each of the last five years—and landing him would be a coup for the Eagles, if he's willing to leave Columbia. But getting him to leave will not be easy.

    North Carolina assistant Scott Forbes, a former assistant under recently fired Joe Hudak at Winthrop, would also make plenty of sense, but it will take a lot to get Forbes to leave UNC. He is in the picture, however, if Winthrop is willing to make a very big commitment."

    He's pretty close...Forbes is the leading candidate. But it will be a tough sign.

    one would wonder how many more yr's Coach Tanner will coach. he's now accomplished the ultimate in his sport, coached the Olympics, etc, etc......he has a young family he'd probably like to spend more time with. he has associate AD experience from his days back at NCSU; maybe he would slide into less-stress and time commitment of administrative-type work., who knows.

    I believe he has been on record saying that....not due to stress, but to work in an administrative capacity. But I'm sure family has a lot to do with that
