re: Gary Henderson named College baseball Coach of the Year.

Joe Moorhead, someone who has coached in mediocre leagues is going to be better than Mullen was, during his first season in the SEC.

We're talking about two different things here with Henderson and Moorhead.

No one can question that Henderson has done an amazing job as the game manager since April or so, but a lot more goes into running a baseball program than managing the games. (as I type this I realize some people are arguing that the team has won in spite of Hendo's decisions, but I'm willing to give him some credit). I have no opinion on whether Henderson would be a good hire, but I don't think the decision on hiring him should be based on what has happened over the last few weeks.

Moorhead is a better OC than Mullen, and that is just about all that is important for the upcoming season. The player's are already in place. There are other off field things a Head Coach has to do to get a team ready to win, but Moorhead also has experience with that. We are naturally excited about the upcoming season.

Going forward, though, it remains to be seen if Moorhead can match Mullen's ability to run the program. While the early indications are good, anyone already claiming Moorhead will be better than Mullen is either being very optimistic, or is succesfully trolling you.
