man i'm good...... make a post and an hour later we have...:

OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss Athletics Director Pete Boone announced Wednesday a one-year contract extension for head baseball coach Mike Bianco, which runs through the 2010 season. Four-year contracts are the longest granted in Mississippi by the Board of Trustees, State Institutions of Higher Learning.

"We are excited to be able to announce this contract extension and feel fortunate that Mike, Camie and their children love Oxford, Ole Miss and the Rebel fans," Boone said. "We expect them to be here for years to come.

"Based on his outstanding conference record over the last four years, Mike has proven to be one of the best coaches in the SEC, if not the best," Boone said. "We believe he will be one of the highest paid baseball coaches in the SEC."

Under the direction of Bianco, Ole Miss baseball has produced the most SEC regular- season wins (70) over the last four years, is the only team in the conference to produce a winning record in league play all four seasons and is one of only 10 teams in the nation to post at least 92 victories over the last two years.

The Rebels are also the only SEC team to host NCAA Regionals the last three years and the only conference team to host NCAA Super Regionals the last two seasons.

"I believe this contract extension shows my commitment to Ole Miss, the team and the fans," Bianco said. "I've said several times there has been overwhelming support by the administration, most importantly Pete Boone and Chancellor (Robert) Khayat, towards our baseball program.

"Although we've had a lot of success here, our work is not done," he added. "Our goal is to bring a national championship to Ole Miss as we compete on a national level year after year."

The success under Bianco at Ole Miss has also been reflected in the stands. Ole Miss led all 2006 Regionals and Super Regionals in attendance, while the 2005 NCAA Super Regional also led all regionals. The 2005 NCAA Regional ranked second in the country.


The 2006 season also brought with it a new season attendance record at Ole Miss as 184,331 fans made their way to Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field to see their Rebels play.

During Bianco's six seasons as head baseball coach at Ole Miss, the Rebels have produced a 242-132-1 record. His career record stands at 342-203-l, including three years at McNeese State. His winning percentage at Ole Miss is .647 and .627 overall.

Why wouldn't he stay? Go to LSU and you are forced to win or else? Stay in Oxford and they will rename the field after him.

Rebels have done great (not too loud since I graduated from MSU) the past few years and they will make it to Omaha sooner than later.

I don't know that Jim Wells is the answer. I really don't see how he is any different than the coach LSU just got rid of. I really wish they would get Horton from Cal State Fullerton, but I don't see that happening. I think the rumors are probably right that Wells will be the man.

Just looking at the Wells scenario. If you compare Laval's stats to Wells, they are just as good or better, and Laval got the hook. I am not sure if Wells is the awnser or not. I really don't think that Bertman is the awnser either. We need someone that we can get and try and keep for a long time. One beautiful thing about College BB is there is no threat to your coach going to the pros, so if we can get someone quality and keep them, we can have them for a long time. I would love to See the CSF coach in Baton Rouge, but I think I have a better chance of seeing the Cubs in the world series. I agree it looks a lot like Wells will end up over here.

I agree with you guys, I think Wells will be the next baseball coach at LSU. I have heard some good things about the coach from College of Charleston, but he has not coached and competed on a weekly basis in the SEC even though he has beaten some SEC teams.

Guys, A job thought to be a dream job at LSU with its past success has turned out to be a trap and thats why you will not get a big name coach to come here. All the big names have a successful program and job security. You cant be promised that here at LSU.

I heard on the radio yesterday, a lot of fans would like to have a fresh face, no ex- Skip player or coach as Skip seems to play puppet with them. A coach like College of Charleston might be what LSU needs.
Remember Skip was just an assistant under Ron Frasier at Miami Fla. and had no prior head coach experience. Nobody knew who Skip Bertman was, and look what he did for the program and the sport of college baseball. Something to think about...

I don't care who they get as long as he is young and energetic and will get out on the road and recruit quality college baseball players. It is easy to look arround at kids with MLB talent and say I am talking to them but you will probably not get them. You can have the best coach in the world but if all his recruits go pro and he is left with the bad news bears he ain't going to win chit. :roll:
