Kendall Rogers just laid the two names out there

I'll be honest- if ANYONE is going to pay a baseball coach 2 million it's going to be MSU.

Everyone associated with MSU wants a NC in baseball and I think we're going to try to do everything we can to get one. Even if that means overpaying for a quality coach.

And that $2M would be a bargain if we get a coach that starts winning CWS titles. He’d pay for himself and then some in tickets, concessions, and donations.

The thing about the $50 million stadium is it is not really any more that our competition are spending. We spent enough to keep pace (but built a much better stadium in the process)

Kentucky spent $49 million
Florida is spending $45.8
Bama spent $42

So just saying we spent $50 million on a stadium doesn't translate to us being more willing to outspend everyone else.

Yep and we will be the only school that will fill their stadium as well. Alabama? 8500 seats and probably if they are lucky 6000 gumps will show up. Kentucky? Going from 3k to 6k seats that I doubt even then will fill up. Florida? They won a national championship and I think even then they are only going up to 6k. Our stadium? It will seat 13k by next year and if we hire McDonnell at $2 million a year we will fill that sucker up and McDonnell will pay for himself like Saban has at Bama. If McDonnell wants to win a CWS instead of just getting there, he can come to MSU and will have the tools he needs to take us over the top.

We aren?t going to pay $2M. We won?t need to.

Yea I do not get the correlation by Moorhead making 2.75 million and not being able to pay top dollar for a baseball coach. We were paying Mullen 5 million. If anything, we can spend more on a baseball coach now since we are getting Moorhead at a discount.

This seemed like a weird correlation to make to me, too. It totally ignored that Mullen was one of the top 15 best paid college football coaches in recent years.
