I think Steve Smith from Baylor should be on the list. He has turned Baylor into a national power and has said that he would consider taking the MSU job if it came available.
He's young, won at Kentucky where no one like him really ever has before. He understands what is expected out of MSU baseball. He would be an instant spark plug for the program. He obviously can recruit. Playing in front of 10,000 fans >>> playing in front of 1,000 fans. He undertands what is expected out of MSU baseball.
Steve Smith would be runner-up if I was AD.

If you think he does you are an idiot. Unless someone totally overides Ron Polk, Tommy Raffo is the next head coach. There's a reason he's been an assistant for 15 years.
...and Palmer and Kinnison would also be good. If bonus points are given for the potential to create chaos, Bianco deserves consideration.
My short list in order of preference
Dan McDonnell
Pat Casey (if possible)
John Cohen
Steve Smith
Dan McDonnell
Pat Casey (if possible)
John Cohen
Steve Smith
...and there's breaking news out of Los Angeles that Joe Torre has made a statement with sincere regret signing on as the manager in the Dodgers organization. He states that he always heard Old Waverly was a nice golf course. In fact there are many other former major league managers wanting to come to Starkville leaving the door open for Bobby Cox, Tommy Lasorda, and Cito Gaston.
By the way, if anyone post on any type of message board, they automatically fall within the idiot category.
And I will leave with this statement, just because he's on the list doesnt mean he wants the job.

</p>good thoughts, i definantly wouldnt mind just cleaning the whole thing out. MSU Baseball can recruit itself with its name, get someone young and ambitious and we will be just fine, I think Raffo meshes well with Polk, therefore by him leaving its kind of pointless for Raffo to even want a head coaching position.
One was 8dog misreading the question. You other 13, how can you endorse someone with no experience as a head coach for our baseball program?

</p>Oh I don't know. Maybe because everyone is entitled to an opinion and doesn't owe you an explanation for having one. And perhaps because the question was "Who gets the job?" and not "Who would you like see get the job?" See the difference?
kicked no.7 SC`s *** 15-3 last nite in Columbia 15-3. What the hell do we need a poll for ? Oh I forgot WE ARE MSU !!!!!
DawgatAuburn's question was you are the AD, who would you choose. And this is a message board, explanations are not only encouraged, they are basically what keeps thought provoking threads going.
Why don't you try reading the whole question instead of being a smartass?</p>Edited to add: Hopefully this does answer my question,though, and all the people voting for Raffo just have reading comprehension problems like oem Einstein and aren't actually advocating hiring Raffo.
but I don't think Bianco would be a good fit for us. McDonnell was the brains behind that operation, and it's going to show in a couple of years when his recruits have left.
