“I appreciate everything Coach Bolt has done as a member of our coaching staff the past three seasons," Erstad said. "Both as a player and most recently as a coach, Will has helped make Nebraska baseball what it is today. Will, his wife, Lauren, and their two sons, Jaxson and Austin, will always be Huskers.”
Congrats to HuskerMax posters on not having the idiotic "why is he leaving for a lateral move, can't believe we can't step up and pay him more money" post...
Love him following Childress, love him getting closer to home, love him setting himself up for a head coaching gig. Tough loss...
Will Bolt brought us most of our JUCOs, he was well respected in those areas. When Pat Kelly left early, and when we lost a catcher to the draft, he raked some guys in. Not saying Erstad and company won't be able to do that, but his relationships and name went a long way for us. Also, if anyone noticed when a relief pitcher would come in, Will Bolt would grab a sheet of paper out of his back pocket and had notes on every guy with a scouting report, hopefully that meticulous preparation was passed on to who takes over from him if that person is within the program. Erstad let Bolt call all the plays, so I wonder if he will be as hands-off with the next guy...
Now the positives. While Bolt did a lot for us offensively, I have heard that we never tweaked kids swings from a technical stand point, only talked approach and what to look for. I think we can improve on this area and get that much better offensively...
