DAVID CONE, THE YANKEES PITCHING COACH!

That's what I want... but we're not there yet. In fact, right now all we know is that he interviewed for the gig.

Several publications are talking about it. We'll go with CBS Sports who credits Jack Curry of YES with the first report. No question Jack was first with it... Cone and him just wrote a book together... it's kind of a no brainer.

"The New York Yankees have interviewed retired pitcher and current YES Network analyst David Cone for the club's vacant pitching job, according to YES Network's Jack Curry. New York fired Larry Rothschild at the end of October. Rothschild, 65, had been the Yankees pitching coach since 2011. 

Cone met with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and other members of the club's baseball operations department for several hours last week, Curry added."

I really want Coney in the Yankees clubhouse.

By the way, buy Curry and Cone's book... it's called FULL COUNT.

As far as the pitching coach gig... stay tuned...
