First of all, I would like to thank MA for his hard work. He is a good man, and someone that anyone would like to have as an influence on their son. Secondly, 9 years ago I told my family and close friends that Byrne made a mistake in making MA the head coach, which was backed up by his departure and stealing of Rob C.. Now we as a fan base have to deal with the backlash of what has happened. Unfortunately, this team cannot be turned around as fast as what the football team can be. Are the tools there to do it, Yes, they are. Are the chips against a new coach, yes. The Big Ten is not a baseball conference, and it will be difficult to get the kids we need to compete nationally. However, we have the facitlities in place, and with the right coach, we can get back to the level that we all want to be.
Is that coach Will Bolt, or is it Striklin from Kent State? Or is it someone else that only God knows? Maybe it is Erstad, I don't know and neither does anyone else. All I want from the next coach is someone that is no nonsense, teaches baseball, and has a nasty attitude about winning, and never giving up, never. I like dirtbags, both at the plate and on the mound. You don't have to be a home run hittter or a strike out king to be on my team, just someone who works his tail off,and never ever gives up.

I THINK the rule is that if you have a player drafted as a Jr. you can't fill that scholarship for the next year. So, as I understand it, the programs are incented to not exactly go after guys that have a shot at getting drafted as Juniors....you lose a couple/three and I imagine you could really be hosed the next year.
