BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Jeez...if this is true you have UWO, ECSU and Chapman that may all be looking outside the program for a coach at the same time. Unbelievable.

[8404DOC]

Players were notified prior to my post, I would never speculate on something like that. He is/was a great hard nosed coach, hate to see him go.

Did he retire or did the ad let him go?  There were rumors all season that the current ad didn't want him around

Ditto!!!!

[8404DOC]

Heard his contract was up in June.

Looks like the Lechnir era at UWO is over.

What makes you say that? If you're stating the product has dropped off, sure but I haven't heard anything of him leaving.

Considering the source is current players dad, I have a feeling you might hear something AFTER the players in this case....

That does make sense. That being said I had no idea that 8404DOC was a player's father and was shocked by the news that seemed to come out of nowhere in both a message board and real world sense. So I checked the UWO athletics page and didn't see anything about a resignation thus my question.

So... who are the favorites for the Oshkosh job?

How about Kimberly's head baseball coach?

"Scooter" McGinnis??? He is also the AD at Kimberly. I am guessing he'd have to take a big paycut to make it happen. I was thinking of another former Appleton West Terror in either Matt Erickson or his father Bruce...

I am guessing that having that much tradition at UW-O, there will be a lot pressure to hire a Titan (Which does not bode well for McGinnis who played collegiately at Xavier, or Erickson who played at Arkansas).

Thoughts of either Jarrod Washburn or one of the Jorgensen brothers taking the reins?

Yes, but that thought came from me. I had other thoughts, but that was one of the first. I doubt Sims cares about my thoughts.

Article about lechnir in Oshkosh northwestern today states his contract up June 30 and not being renewed.  What a joke lets not renew a guy who has had how many guys sign professional contracts and won how many games?  They had a very good core coming back too next year I have a hard time believing some of those guys won't leave now.  It's a sad day to be a d3 baseball fan I loved watching him coach.  As a pointer fan I'm really nervous that bloom won't be around much longer given his success.  Only bright spot is perhaps Jeremy jirschele would be fittin to get the job coaching under bloom and playing for lechnir and better yet his father being tied to major league system.  I just can't see bloom staying too much longer after getting passed up for ad and im guessing he could coach at a higher level if he chose to do so.

Anyone think ex Lawrence coach korey Krueger would be in running for Oshkosh?  Talk about a guy who is motivated and knows the game I think he would be a great fit to be honest. 

[BigPoppa]

Not sure Krueger would be a good fit. I cannot imagine a non Titan even getting a look at this job.

First off I am surprised by the fact that is a non-renewal situation instead of a resignation on the part of Lechnir.

As for a future coaching search, UWO went through the same thing last summer with basketball and many names previously associated with both programs were floated out there but in the end it went to two outsiders. I have a feeling the same thing will happen this time.

What Sims showed in his basketball hires is he likes coaches with connections to the area who can recruit but he isn't afraid to at least look at folks from far away.

What that means for specific coaches I don't know and maybe the situation regarding baseball is more different than I know but based on last summer that is what I see going down.

Where is Bloom going to go?
