They just lost their popular AD who made baseball a priority. Jurich was a big reason McDonnell was hired, and very popular.
I’m just saying there is a crack in the dam there.

Don’t tell C34 that. Logic seems to escape him.

Just because we don't have a National Championship- it's ridiculous to not even try when we have the resources to potentially be even better than we are now. To me, the fact that we don't have one is even more reason to get an elite coach rather than try to save a buck.
Our program isn't as shitty as some of our fans make it out to be. There are only a few SEC programs that have been to the Finals in Omaha since 2010- we are one of them. We have won the SEC within the past three seasons. We have two SR appearances the past two years. MSU has a LOT going for us right now. We're just dealing with a lot of bad fortune and transition at the same time- but our future is extremely bright and our profile has been raised quite a bit since 2010. I daresay it's better now than the 80's.
Right on, Todd!

McDonnell
Corbin
Johnson

Up until recently I've felt just like 34.. that we were not pulling a top 25 programs coach but after what I've been hearing the last few days I'd be willing to bet we hire a big fish. Top 10-15 coach in America. And I believe the rumor is true that we will pay 1.5-2mil. Boosters have made it known to Cohen and Keenum that we spent 55mil on a stadium therefore money is no option in hiring a coach because we wanna fill that new palace up. A big name coach is the way to do that.

Some of you guys need to take your maroon shades off, it want get serious on a new coach for a while. We are a long ways from signing a new coach and believe me the high profile coaches have agents who will tell media guys a good rumor cause $$$$$ is the key to their clients.
Relax and let's wait and see, quit shooting your wad in March***

No- you said TOXIC. Toxic
There is nothing toxic about Louisville football or baseball. And no AD is going to come in and **** with a baseball program that has made 3 CWS in the last 5 years- and has one of the highest paid baseball coaches in the country.
Louisville baseball is ranked 12th in the country- nothing "toxic" about it

Good deal. I believe you, as you’re usually spot on accurate when it comes to Baseball.

So let's not pay the only job that has a chance to win a nc to the others? Makes sense.......

Because baseball, other than about a handful of schools loses money. And we don't. Make money. So there that.

We aren't paying a baseball coach 2 million. Not yet

So from what you can tell, Corbin is below Nick and Butch on the list?

If baseball has a quality team I absolutely would pay it- honestly would probably go more than I do now. Cohen just dropped the prices on football tickets in some areas and concessions are decreasing as well. I don't expect ticket prices to skyrocket.
Not following, cann leaving doesn't save us money on the baseball portion. And while we are saving now on jomo that won't last long AND we have other coaches getting raises every year see Vic!!! And his sport is a money trough.
