Tracy smith was the Indiana coach in 2013 and 2014. He won back-to-back big 10 titles and a CWS. In 2015, lemonis took over. Here's his big 10 finishes since he took over...
2015 = 6th
2016 = 3rd (tie)
2017 = 6th
2018 = 5th
He made a regional in 2015 (1-2 record), 2017 (1-2), and 2018 (2-2)
I could see McDonnell suggesting the coach at Indian to Cohen. Supposedly Cohen thinks a lot of McDonnell, so there you have it.
Why all the drama if it is Henderson? Why not announce the other day?
Indiana offensive ranks in big 10...
Avg - 2nd
Slugging - 1st
OBP - 4th
Runs - 3rd
2b - 3rd
3b - 7th
HR - 1st
ETA... I had wrong year. These are correct stats
Is this the only guy with “multiple Omaha appearances” that we can find? 17 it, I’ll take someone without the Omaha experience.
I thought Hugh Hefner died recently and he was more of a girls' coach anyway.*** Abdul said he used to subscribe to his magazine.***
If it's the Indiana guy, I'd rather just give the whole damn thing to Jake and see what happens. Lemonis would be an underwhelming hire. Hell, I'd rather Henderson over that guy...and for me to say that, let's just say it hurt.
Lemonis was the recruiter and hitting coach at Louisville. Why keep Gautreaux if you hire Lemonis? God, I hope this is not the guy.
All these coaching search threads serve 2 purposes.
1. They get page hits which is good for the site.
2. They give multiple opportunities for posters to mention different names so they can come by later and say they called it.
If this is truly the hire, then we just should've kept Hendo and not broken up the band. This is a hire almost no one will get behind
This is a fine hire. Went to Omaha multiple times as an assistant. McDonnell protege. Won at Indiana and took them to a regional 3 out of 4 years. Guy can recruit.
It's not a home run. But as has been established already. We don't need a home run. We need the right fit. We got the guy McDonnell trained for 7 years. I think this has very good potential. But I expect most to shit on this hire, blast Cohen, and not understand what constitutes a good hire.
If it is Lemonis, that is like the wife telling me no on Sofia but it is ok to shag the 300lb neighbor lady.
This will be the biggest ?what the 17? ever and we at MSU know about some ?what the 17s?. Indiana has taken a step back since he has taken over there.
Cohen reveres McDonnell too much to listen to him on this.
Completely agreed. Cohen hopefully learned a valuable lesson in this. I think he 100% got personally involved in the emotion of this season and this hire and took this cluster 17 turned Final Four personally. Felt like he had to sell the program and beat his chest to show we were ok. He is this program. Played here and coached here and I 100% get it. Hopefully he learns a valuable lesson that as the AD you have to turn that off and keep things close to the vest and not be so public with comments related to the search.
But this is a really good hire. Those that get baseball understand this. Those that don't will be more focused on blasting Cohen and us not getting a current Top 10 HC
But what if that 300lb slag is in reality a smoke show in a fat suit?

Top 10? From all I heard and read I thought it was Top 5 coaches that couldn't turn us down. O well, I had never heard of Joe Moorhead either and I think that is headed in the right direction. Time will tell. Hope this is not like the year Emory Bellard predicted we would win the SEC and we didn't win a single game.
Why the lackluster finishes at Indiana?
