Who is olemiss planning to hire

I'm sure they will go after Godwin at ECU, and could probably get him. Would be a good hire in my opinion.

Godwin has just as many ties to LSU. I could see him going to either one.

To answer the question in the OP I could see them having a search that sort of ends up like ours for Lemonis. I think they'll go after some big names like McDonnell and Godwin and probably end up with someone else.

I could also see them hiring from within and go with Carl Lafferty.

Godwin grew up 30 minutes from East Carolina and played baseball there. He's home, ranked #10 in the county, and doesn't need to go to OM to get to the CWS. In fact, going to OM probably hurts your chances to get to the CWS.

East Carolina is poised to become the beast baseball program of the East/Atlantic area. Virginia never really did, and South Carolina has been down since Tanner stopped coaching.

EC has a relatively new baseball stadium that seats 5,000, has 28,000 students, and their football team sucks, so they could become a "baseball school" if they haven't already. In response to the NCAA new 50% rule for regionals, an EC fan on twitter said that EC fans would blow past that if allowed. That guy indicated that East Carolina is getting behind their current baseball team.
