So who will be our new pitching coach?

MStateBaseball, you have to be a member, give us the scoop. Would be your best work yet, brother

That's not saying much.*

I'm working on it.

Jason Dietrich of Cal St Fullerton is the leading candidate.

Drew Dickinson, Illinios
Wes Johnson, Dallas Baptist
Rob Smith, Ohio
Robert Woodard, Virginia Tech

THE Drew Dickinson?

Jason Dietrich of Cal St Fullerton is the leading candidate.

That'll be a culture shock.

Better take Howland with him to lunch.

Jason Dietrich, Cal State Fullerton

Considered the clear-cut candidate to replace Butch Thompson at Mississippi State, Dietrich is someone that a lot of Bulldogs fans probably aren’t familiar with, but who now should be. Dietrich has done an amazing job in his last two seasons as Cal State Fullerton’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Dietrich has guided two of the nation’s elite pitching staffs the last two years, even helping the staff succeed at a high level this past season and get to the College World Series despite losing starting pitcher Justin Garza for the year because of an injury. Dietrich opens up some Southern California recruiting ties, and also has high acclaim from his peers on the West Coast from past stints at places like UC Irvine, where he worked under legendary head coach Mike Gillespie. The expectation at this point is that Dietrich will be the hire for the Bulldogs, but it’s still early in the process.

We need to go get Roy Oswalt.

Dietrich is a Cal State- Fullerton alum. Not sure why he is considered the leading candidate?

Just because you were a great baseball player does not mean you will be a great coach. Ask Ted Williams about his managerial career.

The only capacity a guy like Oswalt should be in would be as a volunteer assistant at this point.

Wes Johnson makes more sense to me.

Sounds to me Cohen just hired someone.

[mstatefan91]

Looks like the job has already been taken care of. Hope so

[MsStateBaseball]

My contact in Southern California told me Dietrich is a superb coach and a hell of a recruiter. Quote.

[Todd4State]

Drew Dickinson is really young. He's also an Illinois alum. Good resume though.

Todd, wouldn't we pay considerably more than Fullerton? Also, branching out and having success at multiple baseball schools would have to help his resume as far as getting a head job.

Rob Smith is Ohio's HEAD COACH. Why would he leave that to be a pitching coach in the SEC?
