Notre Dame head coach Paul Mainieri has left the Irish for LSU, any thoughts. Who could be the next Irish coach?

I'd like to see Kingston from Tulane. He has been a part of a successful program with high academic standards.
He should do well at LSU once he gets the "hang" of recruiting players for the SEC.
The best baseball conference in the nation.
Not many baseball challenges at ND because of their Big East membership and games that they play against "hamburgers". Great football school, though.
In my opinion, too, at LSU, he won't be geographically restricted for players nor will he have the burden of having to recruit academically talented kids for his program.
When I asked someone a while ago what it took to get into LSU if you were a good baseball player, the person commented: You have to color 2 pages in a coloring book.

Any chance someone in-house gets the coaching job?
They better, or it is going to hurt their recruiting.
What recruting are u talking about NC. Future recruiting, or the incoming class of 06?
It seemed like they couldn't give that LSU job away...
Like 4-5 high profile coaches turned it down before Mainieri. Big time pressure, probably the most in college baseball expectation wise.
Mainieri should understand the expectations though as he played at LSU...I think he's the right guy.

Goose-
It will make it tough for them with the '07 class. These '07s will now have to establish a new relationship with possibly an entirely new crew. But then... it is Notre Dame!

i am so bummed. ND was a DREAM school of my son's when he was little. then it ALMOST became a reality....then they took Billy Bookford...now grewe and maineri are gone...i hope this doesn't effect billy and the other recruits....i really liked both of those guys. whoever gets that job should be thankful that they were such great recruiters to have found talent like billy in the midwest. good luck to maineri and LSU....don't forget about chicago kids
