Who Replaces Gene?

[49erFan]

I have heard that there has been contact between WSU and Hibbs.

[Mr. Obvious]

An axe to grind?

With Sexton? Known him for 20 years. He's an idiot. This was a baby sitting job set up for him. He should have had something done with Gene a year ago.

Is it uncouth to openly pray to God on an internet forum to prevent a possible outcome?

SMH at the possibility of this news becoming reality. I'll drive over to Gene's mansion in The Hawthorne and shed tears into beers with him.

I hear you, didn't WSU just fire a guy for almost the exact results Hibbs has going?

[Mr. Obvious]

I hear you, didn't we just fire a guy for almost the exact results Hibbs has going?

The collegiate baseball field has been leveled. We had the Taj Mahal and a now hundred schools have good facilities. Not sure what everyone is expecting as far as results go.

Great guy. We would really hate to lose him going from the A-10 to C-USA next season.

Our 1st stay in C-USA Hibbs held his own with terrible facilities here and got an at large bid in 1998. Then we got shipped to the A-10 which is a terrible baseball league. We had a great amount of success in the league and were finally able to build a nice baseball facility. Won 5 Regular Season Titles out of 8 years in the league, and 3 Regional appearances. Playing in a north eastern conference hurt recruiting b/c no one in the Cariolinas wants to play at Fordham in March.

Next year is a big year as we finally have the facilities and are moving into a good baseball conference in C-USA. The fanbase is growing and we have seen a big impact on recruiting since announcing conference changes.

With the financial support you have there for baseball, Hibbs will no doubt be successful if he is offered the job.

Kemnitz sticks around, Standiford makes even more sense now.

No. Gene smokes him for the most part.

What I would expect as an AD:

Other teams in the Valley better not have greater talent than WSU, especially when the Valley is 15th in RPI. That is it, I don't expect WSU to be a national powerhouse but certainly an MVC powerhouse.

That is my concern with Scooter. I like him, but he just hasn't done that well at Charlotte over the years.

[DaShox]

Seeing as how BK will be the new head coach, I am sure he will mesh just fine.

Sexton said Kemnitz would not be a candidate for the head-coaching job but is an important part of the baseball program going forward.

Kemnitz continuing at WSU should not be looked at as Sexton wanting to only hire a coach with Shocker ties, he told The Eagle. He emphasized it would be a national search and that there is no timetable to name a new coach.

Awesome news. I am glad that Brent is staying on as director of operations instead of pitching coach. That would have really handcuffed the search.
