Total shock picking up the paper this morning and reading this. Recall when LSU hired Wisconsin's D Coordinator, Dave Aranda, several years back. Believe he made around $600k at Wisconsin, they gave him $1.3M to make the move. Remember Barry Alvarez telling him for that big a raise, take it. So this is LSU's way of getting the coaches they want...pay for it and in this case it seems to have worked.
Expect we will find out more, but may never know the total reason for the move. But timing related to recruiting, chance to become the head coach a few years down the road, difference in living cost and life style in college versus the 162 game big league schedule are all likely part of the reason. Heck, we don't know but he may have missed working with the young college kids. Gotta be happy for him and expect the Twins will find a way thru this turmoil because in reality, they have no choice.

Jose Rodriguez was the Twins Daily short-season minor-league hitter of the year. He is at the Dominican facilities for spring training now but will likely join Extended Spring Training in Fort Myers.
I really hold back what I would like to say about then payroll arguments here. The fact that people don't accept the amount taken in dictates the amount going out requires one of two things. Extreme financial ignorance or fanatical bias that prevents the acceptance of something some basic. I did not change the argument. It's the same idiocy over and over. Do you really want to be on the side that suggests revenues does not determine spending capacity?
