The baseball HC decision has the potential to fracture the fan base

[bigplayslay]

The best thing for the program is the guy who took over us in the toughest spot in baseball history and lead us to Omaha and deep into Omaha. Nobody worth having will come here if this isn't good enough.

If Henderson gets hired he better give Macnamee at least a quarter of his salary.

This just proves the point that only the casual MSU fans want Henderson. Not trying to bash you here but you have even said you dont follow baseball closely.

This was the greatest stretch in Gary Hendersons baseball coaching career and he ended it, say what you want, totally wasting a friday game to get in to the CWS finals.

Its going to be Schlossnagle

Just curious what makes you so confident of this? I would like to think it?s him to but I have no reason other than just my own personal opinion.

Is it acceptable for Moorhead to be the OC for the football team?

If he is what he appears to be (young, energetic, innovative, attacking) then yes. Hindu is not. Hindu's greatest asset as a head coach would be his demeanor and maturity.

I do believe Hindu can be a big winner here if he keeps JG and adds a dynamic pitching guy who is a great recruiter.

Where theres smoke, theres fire. And I may turn out to be wrong, wont be the first or the last time. But he has made it known that he wants the job in Omaha.

Regardless of what was said a while back.

Exactly, who do we get? My first question when asked if I want Henderson is well, who is the alternative? If we get some unproven assistant then there is just as much risk to that as there is giving Hendo the full time gig. GH is not my first choice by any means but if we don't hire him I want someone that is no doubt better on paper at least.

For the umpteenth time in this thread. If Schloss falls through, there are plenty of way better candidates than Henderson that have been way more successful at smaller schools (worse programs than Kentucky) as head coaches. Dan Heefner, Matt Riser, Todd Whitting, Link Jarrett, Greg Lovelady are all coaches that would win big here and are way better than Henderson.

The Cohen interview regarding the type coach State would hire and Henderson helping turn the team around along with his COY awards sets this up for a lot of opinions, threads, posts, and media know it all's/backlash no matter who is hired.

It's true. There isn't potential for a fracture among the fan base. There will absolutely be a fracture among the fan base. There's no way around it now.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

If it turns out to be Henderson.

I?m torn. What is best for the program, going forward?

More than a tear if Henderson is hired. I would say the majority are smart enough to see what we need longterm

Hardcore, dedicated MSU baseball fans, yes. True maroon fans who don't even know SPS, Elite Dawgs, etc, exists and kept up with little baseball until the Henderson led team made the WS run and he got two COY national awards, no. We have little choice but to trust the ones who will make the coaching hire and get behind it. I have heard many State fans, friends and relatives who think Coach Henderson earned it. We will see. Hail State!
