Reaction: What they’re saying about Chad Holbrook’s departure
A roundup of thoughts and reactions from social media after the announcement that Chad Holbrook will not return as South Carolina baseball coach.
“Thanks for everything 2,” rising junior infielder LT Tolbert posted on his Instagram page Tuesday night, a reference to Holbrook’s No. 2 jersey.
With the facilities, fan support and history of the South Carolina baseball program I fully expect USC to hire a top notch head coach.

Working on a @GamecockBasebll candidate hot board right now. If Ray Tanner willing to pay, the #Gamecocks absolutely can attract the elites.

Gamecocks have money but don't expect some massive spending on next coach. Baseball isn't football or even bball. Money will be interesting

Thank you Coach Holbrook for your loyalty and commitment to Gamecock baseball. Class act.

Being the guy after a legend is always tough. Chad Holbrook will get another HC shot under different circumstances, and probably succeed.

I'm not overly surprised by Chad Holbrook's decision. He's a top flight man who won't put himself first. All the best to him and his family.

Chad Holbrook has one of the biggest hearts of anyone you'll meet. Had an impossible task to follow the greatest coach in program history.

I always believed that if a tough decision had to be made, Holbrook & Tanner's relationship would result n a resignation over a termination

On a side note, South Carolina fans can say what they want — but Chad Holbrook is a class act. I wish him the best moving forward.
