Tim Tadlock...

Is he still a legit candidate, or have we/he moved on? I kind of feel like he is the next man up to try to lure.

 

[Shmuley]

Is he in the market for a nice raise?

I have no idea, but I’d imagine it’s very difficult to get a head coach from an elite program. A head coach from a middling program, yes. But I can’t imagine why a head coach from an elite program would jump ship unless they had some kind of personal falling out with the school.

Forgive my ignorance, but is Texas Tech an elite baseball program? I understand it's not middle Tennessee state, but wouldn't think it's a destination job.

I disagree. We would pay him more, he would have stronger fan support, and recruiting would be easier at MSU. We are a semi-elite program that has the ability to become one of the best programs in the country with the right coach. I don't think Texas Tech's ceiling is near as high as ours. Being in the SEC actually makes our road to Omaha easier because playing SEC teams all year boosts our RPI and makes it easier to host regionals/super regionals.

What he has done in his 6 years at Texas Tech is great. He's been to the World Series twice and playing in a super this year, and has always been my third choice after Scholss and Dan. I don't know why he's not getting more attention.

Believe he is at his alma mater which makes it that much tougher of a pull. I'm sure he would be glad to use us for a nice raise though from TT. Probably time to start looking a less 'elite' candidates that at least still have HC experience.

I also think Monte Lee is a solid option. He is young and hungry, and could win huge here.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

He was always my slight favorite, but, looking at his bio, he's at his alma mater and has lived and coached in Texas most of his life.

 

[Len2003]

For some reason, I was thinking he had been to several College World Series recently, but it looks like only two. So maybe he is more gettable than I thought. Maybe we haven’t heard anything from him because he’s still coaching, but maybe he doesn’t want to leave his alma matter.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

He's also lost 3 straight regional in which Clemson hosted.

 

[msudogsrule]

Sure, that is a concern, but is he not a solid option? I am trying to reset my expectations. He has been great in the regular season there, and done really well in a good baseball conference. I think the postseason success thing will work itself out.
