He's been to Omaha three of the last five years.

Yeah he's going nowhere. Like the thought, but perish the thought.

A Tech buddy that played for them keeps telling me Tadlock is going to Mississippi State for $2mil per. I think I would rather him stay at Tech, but that's a big raise from $700k.

Give him 2.5 to us. We can outbid the dogs

I think a couple of the highest paid NCAA baseball coaches are Kevin O'Sullivan at Florida at $1.25M and Jim Schlossnagle at TCU a a little over $1.1M. Feel free to update if anyone has better info.

It seems highly likely Mississippi State may keep their current interim coach seeing as how he has done an okay job and all.

He hasn't gotten the job yet. Word is that Miss State's AD wants to make a splash hire with their new stadium.

Two wins so far for tech in their three trips to Omaha. Both against Florida (eliminated the Gators in 2016).

That's a fun fact if I ever saw one. Hopefully UF/Arky find a way to win their next game.

Take their Basketball coach while we are at it

He's not leaving (unless something ridiculous comes along) either. Tech is his dream job.

No. We're not serious about baseball.

AND this thread has now gone from ridiculous to absurd.

You can argue we can do better than Childress but we aren't exactly a bad program, we're just not as good as we think we can be. We're stuck at "good" which is no way suggests we don't take the sport seriously.

Sounds like the football program.

I agree. There are a lot of similarities between Sumlin and Childress. Both were consistently good but rarely great and never able to position themselves to win it all despite teams that appeared capable.

I don't buy it. Tadlock isn't leaving Tech but since he's been mentioned for the job he'll get a nice raise and probably a commitment from the AD for facility improvements.

Cohen our AD is a former player and coach he left Kentucky to come back to coach at State. He's from Tuscaloosa, his parents are law school professors there, everyone in his family is an attorney except him. He is also Jewish by the way.

Cohen as a coach got us to the CWS in 2013 so he knows how hard it is. Gary Henderson was his hire as our pitching coach and he stepped up and took over as the interim coach after the Italian Stallion(Andy Cannizaro was forced to resign). How many coaches could have done what Henderson has done this year keeping this team focused and they have improved as the season went on and now we're in the CWS and maybe we stay in the winners bracket if we get by UNC tonight?

Cohen has gone after coaches at TCU, Louisville & ECU and has come up empty handed so at this point I would prefer that we keep Henderson for what he has accomplished including just being named Coach of the Year. We have nothing to lose by keeping Henderson he knows our culture. I wonder if Henderson would take the job at this point he's a hot commodity and others may show interest in him. Has Cohen overplayed his hand...we'll see.

You're not stating something we don't already know

In fact, a lot of people find it borderline insane that Henderson hasn't been given the job already

Most of those 296 don't have the resources. No reason to expect more from RC.

Henderson wasn't very good at UK, especially after Cohen's guys were gone. Maybe he's learned from his first head coaching stint, but I'd imagine State fans are leary about it. I think Cohen wants/needs to make a big time splash hire to not give his buddy the full time gig.

Sometimes it's not how good you are but who you don't have to play during the season.

One day we may be a more attractive job than ITT Tech. How did this happen.
