Yes, I saw that.  Zimmerman is having a pretty decent MLB career.  Scherzer has been in the zone.

I would say better than pretty decent.  2x All Star (2013/2014), threw a No-Hitter in 2013, and also led the league in wins that year.

Is bloom really only coaching at his new job and not teaching?  If so and he's making more cash pretty easy decision.

I don't believe Jirschele has his Master's, and if that is indeed true, I'm guessing that eliminates him from consideration.

Looks like I was wrong.... unless a Master's Degree wasn't a requirement for the position.

Jirschele named new UWSP Head Baseball Coach

I can't think of any better situation very good hire for point I don't see a drop off coming at all although point is losing a ton for next year.

Aside from coaching will Jirschele work at the university?  The press release doesn't mention any other duties there.  Last year Bloom's coaching salary was just over $21,000.

Are you serous with $21k?!?!  I understand it's small school athletics but that is absurd.

Don't be surprised. A large number of D-III baseball coaches aren't even full time.

[badgerwarhawk]

He was a state employee so his salary from the university is public information and available online.  He also was paid a similar amount for other responsibilities (lecturer) that he was responsible for so his total salary from the university was in the neighborhood of $41.6K.  He may have had other income that wasn't from the university and therefore not public information and unavailable.  But $21.3K is what he was paid as a coach.

Bloom made a crap load of money doing private lessons for cash.  I know several people who have gone to him over past ten years.  He shouldn't have to do that though to make 41 per year.  What was up with point not charging for admission this year found that rather odd especially when u can get 7 or 8 a ticket.

BTW-Since you are on the boards right now, can you fill us in on what happened to former columnist Ricky Nelson (OshDude?) 

I really enjoyed reading the articles he put together in your Around the Nation section and have really missed it this year.

Me too. Ricky put a lot of time and effort into ATN and really elevated the site with his contributions. He has been difficult to replace, which is why we haven't done so. There are probably only a few people in the entire country who could do what he did for us.

Well I was finally able to find out where Nelson took his talents....  He is now the assistant SID at UW Oshkosh.

I think Lechnir is due for a big settlement form the school in court.

Not saying he will get a "big settlement" but Lechnir will finally get "his day in court" against former Chancellor Wells, AD Sims, and others...

A quote that I found interesting:

"I'm working to bury them. I've been working every waking moment to bury Wells, Roter, Sonnleitner and Sims. They're not truthful people and it's going to come out."

Things could get interesting at the end of the month for some UWO officials!!!

He's mellowing with age.

When he does start to "mellow" that's when everyone will know he doesn't care anymore!!!!

THIS is going to be very interesting to follow as it plays out. I am not certain how things work but what are the chances Lechnir (if he wins) is awarded his job at UW-O back?
