Arky State baseball hires Silva from Nicholls

[Podgy]

He turned down Lemonis (and LSU) last year. Might replace him one day

I just looked back at ASU last 10 seasons and they have been putrid, 208-287. They had 1 season where they were 1 game above .500 that was in '17 and they were 28-27, the rest were losing seasons......Raffo was 381-459-2 w/ no trips to NCAA. Ouch......

Great hire for Arkansas State.

With as much patience they gave Tommy I wondered if they were serious about baseball. I guess they might just be.

I've heard Arkansas State has not made as much investment into baseball as its competition. The Sun Belt is a good baseball conference. If you're not invested, you should not expect results. I wonder how much assurance the new guy has that things are going to change.

Polk competed in Baseball and his teams got good enough that baseball began to sell itself. The same could happen at Arky State.

No it won’t. If this guy is any good, he won’t be at Arkansas St for very long.

Did we try to hire him as the pitching coach?
