1) Absolutely no other cold-weather college baseball coach has ever taken his team to the CWS five times over a 13 year timespan (2005, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2017).
2) No other NCAA baseball coach (that I'm aware of) has almost singlehandedly raised the $$$ for, and personally put together, almost from scratch, a first class baseball facility like Goss is today.
And it is for Dam sure, no individual coach has, or will, ever do BOTH at the same time again. It's unlikely we'll ever see the like the Pat Casey again.

1st ballot HOF coach. Hell, just for what he did this weekend with all the press about Luke. that could have distracted the team totally. They just bore down and grinded from the first pitch on Friday night. A ton (most) of out runs were scored w/2 outs over the weekend. One inning here or there you might say is luck. But over 2 games that is a warrior mentality.
I love the 9 swiss army knife reference. Fits what Casey has built this year to a T
This year Casey is going to have to settle for National Coach of the Year. Dare I say consensus? Yeskie PCOTY.

I sat near the Vanderbilt fans on Saturday. In the first innings when it was raining, one fan came in, looked around, and said, "How in the world do they win 50 games a year in this weather?" The answer in a nutshell is "Pat Casey."
