Checketts has reached the NCAA tournament in three of his five seasons with the Gauchos, ringing up a 108-107-2 record, including an 83-37-2 record in the past two years.

The former Oregon State standout served as pitching coach and recruiting coordinator when the Ducks re-launched their program in 2008. Checketts is considered a logical candidate to replace 62-year old Oregon coach (and former national champion) George Horton, who enters 2017 on the final year of his contract.
My question on this is, if he was 83-37 the last two years, that means he was 25-70 in his first three seasons? Either a typo on his record, or he's only gotten good the last two years because of a couple of special players.

EDIT: Had to search to find it, but he was actually 180–107–2 in his 5 seasons at UCSB

When we hired Pierce it was common knowledge that he'd leave the first chance he got for Rice or Texas. It just happened quicker than we thought. Same thing could happen again if we hire a WC guy.

Article on Checketts and Jewett from Sportsnola


Didn't realize Jewett has such a heavy West Coast based resume.

I didn't realize Jewett was so "heavy"

I know im stating the obvious, but we need to find a Wayne Graham or Jim Schlossnagle (Rice / TCU), in a sense where they stayed at the school and built something special and haven't left for other jobs. Schlossnagle is from the Northeast and he stayed there to build the program. Neither of the coaches were well known D1 coaches and one was a juco coach, and both of those schools they went too were doormats when they got there....... also neither of those schools were P5 schools and they turned them into perennial Omaha programs.

Most people didn't even know TCU had a baseball program when Schlossnagle got there in 2004 and now look at them. That could and should be us, we have better academics, better city, better facilities etc. Hopefully Troy Dannen gets us a good one to replicate that success, and help us to continue to build our top 25 program into a top 8 Omaha program. Excited to see who our next skipper is.

Jewett did like Fritz and got started as a HC at a JC. As for worrying about a coach leaving I don't think TD is concerned w/that and rightfully so. It would be shocking if our fans haven't learned that lesson-Scelfo, CJ. As for Checketts if he wanted Hortons job his contract is up next year. He would just wait. However Horton is only 62 and may well coach another 10-15 years. As for AC if he doesn't get this job this time he is not getting scooped up by a major power in the next 2 years. He may get a HC job but he will always want this job and he will take it then.

He was a MLB scout that has connections and knows talent. He's perhaps the greatest player to ever wear a Tulane uniform. He bleeds green. Had LSU not pounced on him he was going to coach at TCU. Even the LSU fan base gives AC the credit with this past season. Most of those freshmen were Andy's guys. It's a Grand Slam for Dannen should he land Andy. It's a no brainer to have him at the top of your list.

Matt Riser would be my second choice
If you want to go national then:
Andrew Checketts from UCSB
Then some assistants from bigger schools. TCU, Texas. Etc.
As of today the entire coaching staff has resigned so we need someone quick to hold onto the current recruits.
Lol. TD reading my mind with Checketts.
Should be fun to see this play out.
I just think Andy would be a better fit here.
tps chirping again about how great he is while he says nothing again. Thank goodness he's the only 'look at me I'm great' on the site.
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

It's not fair to Andy to compare him with Scelfo or CJ. Nobody I know wanted either guy. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. All four mentioned have pluses and minuses.
I just think of how we passed on Mike White when we had the chance in basketball.

Hire the best guy available and keep building the program. I want Cannizaro as much as anyone, but if the UCSB coach wants to come here and he's the best hire then hire him. If Cannizaro is the best guy hire him. Just keep winning and building the program and every time we do have to hire someone the candidate pool will get better as we are seeing this time around. We have what seems to be 4 very good candidates.

Never compared him to them at all. I was making the point that the possibility of a coach leaving should never enter the conversation. I have been very clear that I will be very happy if Andy gets the job.

As for white I would have liked him too and we agreed on that at the time. However we ended up w/a damn good coach so all's well that ends well.

Right. I know of no one that wanted either one. Rod was a no brainer. And CJ was our 5th choice.
Enough said.

LOL. I haven't gotten to the point of putting him on ignore with his alter ego Jonathan yet. I use him for comic relief after a long day at work.

If Troy puts a $3m buyout in our new coach's contract he will not be a traitor and liar as Pierce was after only 24 months.

He is rported to be an excellent recruiter. ALL his recruits are from California He has no ties to local recruits
He coaches at a public university
He has a wife and 3 girls. Will he relocate them to New Orleans?
Look up the crime stats for Santa Barbara and compare them with New Orleans
Santa Barbara 2 murders
This is a west coast guy and Tulane is not his dream job. He is looking at Oregon when the coach there retires and we are back to square one. Looking for another head coach. Only problem is Andy will no longer be available

OFFER THE JOB TO CANNIZARO
