Seems likely.
How many times has Texas tech been to Omaha with him, two? And what?s his background?
I googled him yesterday, he's solid. been there 5 years and I remember it saying he's been to Omaha 2 times. he's won some conference titles there too and that conference ain't too shabby. he kicked ass at that Texas Juco too.
my concern is that I believe he's an alum of Tech. forgot to click on the salary link though. would be interested to know how much he's making there.
He makes $400K. That’s what I just read.
Seems most likely out of Tadlock, Schlossnagle, and McDonell. What was tech like before he got there?
Pre-Tadlock: 0 CWS Appearances
Tadlock Era: 2 CWS Appearances in 4 years.
Tadlock would be a heck of a hire but I’m just having trouble seeing why he’d leave Tech.
- He an alum
- Just signed a 6 year deal worth $700K per
- Has an easier recruiting situation at Tech than he would at MSU.
He's also missed a regional twice in his five years. I think he's a good coach but I'd rather have a couple of others before him.
Preacher, you are all over the place with your pick, choice and prediction. I get it you like the rest of us want a good coach but in reality, none of us on ED really know what Cohen is thinking o doing.
One thing I'm glad about, Cohen keeps things pretty quite, his football pick came as a surprise, I wouldn't be surprise IF our new Baseball Coach isn't just as big of a surprise.
Btw, This is the first time in my long memory of not following the baseball team, I just can't watch them and I go way back with around 1970 when we played with wooden bats, beginning of left field lounge, small pine trees around the outfield fence, Red Ripple was hard to find and touting the outfielders of visiting teams were becoming legendary! LOL, HailState!
yep. a stat that cannot be ignored. if anyone has any doubts about this guy, feel free to check this out. from the Tech website. if however, he just signed a new 6 year $700K deal I doubt we get him. especially since he's an alum.

the last deal was in 2016. 6 years at $700K. was put into place once the Tech AD thought the Longhorns were after him. not sure about any buyout. I just saw where it prohibits him from bolting within their conference.

If we can get McDonnell, I want him. But Schlossnagle is my top, but I don’t know that he’d leave TCU.
I'm hearing more on McDonnell than Tadlock but we'll see.
Home run hire for sho, if so I would rate this as the biggest baseball hire in the Sec as long as I can remember. Btw, how old is McDonnell, where is he from I'm to lazy to look it up? Did he play college baseball, does he have a good "tree" of assistants with HC jobs?
anybody know the buy out details of McDonnell's contract? would we be willing to surpass his $1M annual salary? I did find it interesting that he got $150K if he stayed thru June of 2017 though. I'm thinking there have been no extensions or changes since this 2016 block buster of a deal was done. can't believe dude started with Louisville making $140K. damn.

He played college baseball at The Citadal. He was in the CWS when we beat them in 1990. Has been to 10 regionals in 11 years as a head coach gone to 7 Supers and 4 CWS all at a school which had no history whatsoever in college baseball and will go back to shit more then likely once he leaves. He graduated college in 1992 so that puts him in his mid-40s. He already has over 500 wins as an HC. To say this would be a Home Run hire would be an understatement. To me, he’s a top 3 coach in college baseball today.

With Tadlock you have to look at the context.
He took over an average team and had a losing season in year one. He took them to Omaha the next year. They had an average year but had a winning season in 2015. Then Omaha, and then a regional, and now has them number 2 in RPI right now.
Dan McDonnell's first five years- CWS appearance in year one because he likely inherited a talented team, a SR appearance and two regional appearances and he missed once in year five.
Jim Schlossnagle's first five years- Five Regional appearances. No SR much less an appearance in Omaha.
Also if you look at Texas Tech's roster they have two UA All-Americans on it that are freshmen which tells me that their recruiting is picking up. My major concern with him is two fold- He is a former JUCO coach and we need to get away from that. However looking at their roster they only have six JUCO's on the team- one a player that started out at TCU. For comparison- we have SIX JUCO's in our CLASS this year. The other concern I have or really more a question than a concern is if he does come to MSU does he bring his top assistant with him? If he does and we hire another assistant with major scouting ties we will be cooking with gas.
I don't understand why just because he coached JUCO before landing the Tech gig is a negative.
Everything im hearing is confirmation that I was correct about this. Tadlock will be it.
1. McDonnel
2. Tadlock
3. Heefner- I wish.
After hearing people mention McDonnell I'm having trouble getting excited about anyone else.
By my math, McDonnell is a year or two younger than Tadlock yet his track record is twice as long. And going strictly by regional appearances, Texas Tech had at least some baseball history before Tadlock's arrival. Louisville had one regional appearance before McDonnell arrived.
I'm not saying Tadlock wouldn't be a home run hire. But McDonnell would be a grand slam.
