For those that follow the baseball program.

I haven't paid enough attention, but he's obviously going a good job there. And I'd think he'd jump at the chance to be at a place like Mizzou, with the resources, and emphasis on the sport.

Another guy I would have liked to see considered is Mark Hogan from Southeast Missouri state. He did amazing things with few resources there. He "retired" last year, but isn't that old - he just had enough years that he could do it, and there were some political things locally, I heard. The team there plays in a city owned stadium, and there were some issues.

Would he consider MU?

I think there is always a chance, if the money is right. But I think that future plans for the sport at Mizzou would be critical as in how serious is Mizzou about it's baseball program? Serious enough to upgrade the stadium? I never put much thought into such ideas until I started following the recruiting trail. Now I see just how serious arenas, stadiums and ballparks are to attracting recruits and I think as well as coaches. It's proof that the university is serious about it's athletic programs. JMO

Very true, Jafo. We were ok in the bevo 12-2-1+1-1+1. In the SEC, we're behind in the arms race and have work to do.

I believe his contract is through 2015 season. So 2 more years.

If he doesn't win at least 25 games next year he needs to be cut loose IMO. He should have won that many this year.

I do like the idea of looking at Hendrickson when the time comes. I really don't think we absolutely need someone with ties to the southeast. Missouri produces a lot of good baseball talent year in and year out so getting a coach who knows our in-state baseball programs would be very helpful. I would guess Hendrickson knows a little something about Missouri high school baseball. It wouldn't hurt to find some assistants with southeast ties though.
