One thing that keeps sticking out to me. I've read that Schloss, McDonnell(sp?), and others all interviewed and didn't get an offer. Those guys were at least somewhat interested or they wouldn't have interviewed. All they had to do was mention that there were on the short list and get whatever compensation increase from their current school if that's all they wanted. After all the interviews and Henderson's 15 minutes of fame, he still hires a relatively unknown guy. This Lemonis guy must have impressed the heck out of Cohen. Add that we are keeping our hitting coach and I'm optimistic about baseball future.

Apparently all the baseball gurus and Indiana thinks it’s a good hire . That ring a bell ?? ( Moorhead)
The main reason people or bitching and moaning is NO ONE is able to say .. “See told ya so that’s who we were going to hire”...

I'm not sure that I believe that. That can be spun a number of ways too.

But it doesn't really matter. I still think we ended up with a really good hire.

I do too. But we shouldnt want fine. We should want to win the NC. That should be our expectation if we are who we say we are. And Im not bashing the guy. Im behind him 100 percent.

One thing I love about Joe Moorhead is he has set the bar publicly and embraces it. We are going to win the SEC championship in 2018 in football. Thats the goal

Didnt need football gurus to tell us Moorhead was a good hire. Hes a proven winner and offensive mind. My only concern was who he was going to get on his staff. Mainly Bob Shoop.

Lemonis played in the NCAA tournament 3 out of 4 years at IU. That is probably the best stretch of baseball in Indiana baseball history. The last guy went to the CWS sure but only 3 postseasons in 9 years

Most people will tell you that McDonnell wouldn't be such a hot name if he hadn't had Lem.
