Don't get too excited, it's his first year. Give Gillespie some time to run the program into the ground.
I was one of the people calling for him to step down at SC but that doesn't make him a bad person. He is a former SC player and gave us a lot of good years before the program went down. I'm happy that he didn't retire after leaving us. Now he has a chance to go out a winner and have pleasant memories instead of a bad taste in his mouth for the rest of his life.
Give it a rest. What's the cost of tuition for UC Irvine compared to USC. Baseball and limited number of scholarships and they split or have partial scholarships. A half scholarship would still cost a player $25K a year. Tough for a private school to compete in baseball now.
I am sure mike will do fine.
