Think they have to win 2
Bragga has been mentioned in connection with UK and UT jobs in last few years. Based on success of this season, would he want to test waters at Mississippi St. before considering MT?
WooHoo!!! We go play Texas now. Oh, by the way, leave our coach alone!!!
Besides, why would he take a step down and go to MTSU?
The sad thing is MT should not be a step down in baseball (based on history and conference), but it probably would be now.
The big thing for Bragga - not a lot of jobs open that I would jump for. Kansas State is probably the biggest this side of Rice (going to hire Saarloose from the looks of things) or Mississippi State (going after Dan McDonnell at Louisville now) . Would Bragga jump to Kansas State for a rebuild to make ~$300,000 a year?
He could stay where he is and if Louisville opens or another big program, he would be in a great position.
Also, McGuire was paid $95,000? That's 3 from bottom in C-USA. If we are serious about a baseball rebuild, we are going to need to offer $150,000 - $200,000.
Interesting point on the salary. Of course, it should be noted that McGuire's on-field accomplishments did not merit a substantial increase in compensation. I'm not an expert on the subject, but maybe $90-95K was a more competitive salary at the time McGuire was hired 5 years ago than it would be now. The question is whether or not we are willing/able to open the wallet to lure the next coach in.
