Valpo wins 4-1 to sweep the Salukis. SIU is now two games deep in the basement of the MVC.

Disgusting.

If anybody denies that we need to have a major change at the end of this season, then I don’t know what you are smoking.

I think everyone agrees a change should be made. But the athletic department just invested a ton of money into the basketball program (rightfully so). Do they have enough left to make a change that would even matter? I understand baseball coaches are a lot cheaper but it’s a lot to ask a school that’s watching enrollment decline to scary levels to throw money at so many programs in one year.
Keep in mind, if football suffers another bad season, a football guy like Kill might want to get his own guy as coach there.

If they cant afford to dump a coach who has been an abject failure for years after what is likely his worst season yet then they shouldnt have wasted a bunch of money pointlessly upgrading facilities.
For those of you that do not know, Coach Kill increased the baseball budget considerably after last year because he said he is committed to the program. That increase included new pads on the outfield walls and improved lights at the field. More importantly, it also increased the salaries of the coaches in order to get more in line with other Valley coaching staffs. Let’s hope money is no longer a deterrent in a potential coaching search as it obviously has been in the past.
2 thoughts.
Killer has been spending money like there's no tomorrow. We may not be able to afford a new coach but that hasn't stopped him yet.
Also, Killer says we are going to operate like a D1 department and not a D2. Baseball has not been performing at a D1 level. We are producing pro players but having no success on field.

While good for Hendu I find that asinine. That's like giving the previous basketball coach a big raise in hopes that he would suddenly turn into a good coach with the imcrease in coin. Save the cash to give to the new coach like we did with Mullins. I have no doubt coach loves this place and gives it all he has but this is clearly a fail.
