BW's Brian Harrison interviewed for the job previously and was passed over for Sabo. Based on the minimal increase in salary that Akron might provide (Harrison is probably at the the top of the OAC), I don't see him taking it now.. He has built a perennial contender in the OAC (arguably the toughest baseball conference in DIII), competing in consecutive DIII CWS and finishing third this year. He has administration support and strong student body and community support. He has developed a strong culture where recruits are coming to him from the D1 and D2 levels and doesn't have to travel all summer to recruit as most of the strong Ohio club programs make appearances at BW's Fisher Field. BW crushed Akron 17-2 two years ago. This year's team would have beat half the teams in the MAC in a three game series. He can stay forever at BW and have a great career and nice life for his family or chase a few more dollars at Akron, trying to compete in a lower level D1 conference at a school with little baseball tradition, restricted scholarships and little AD support if the rumors are true about how Donnelly was handled.
I thought Miami or UC jobs might interest him, but Miami hired Indiana St assistant while BW was in CWS and UC is probably going to make a D1 name hire as they head into the Big 12.
