I heard there is a new coach at the school. Anyone know anything about him and the program at the school?

My son will be a sophomore pitcher at Miami next year. Excellent academics, excellent facilities, supportive AD, well funded, etc. When school is in session they draw up to 1,000 fans - close to 2,000 for the MAC tournament this year. Won the MAC and went to the NCAA regional at Texas this year.
Stats, roster, etc. at: http://muredhawks.collegesports.com/
New head coach, Dan Simonds, spent 5 years as the top assistant then one year as head coach at Xavier. Good person, good baseball guy, real enthusiastic and happy to be back at Miami.
PM me if you need more information.

I meant to say Simonds was the top assistant at Miami before moving to Xavier last season.
o4parent,
Were you kind of surprised Coach Tracy took the Indiana job? It seems Miami clearly has the stronger program right now. Would the financial considerations at IU out-trumped anything that Miami could have offered?

In a way I was surprised but Smith had been an assistant at IU in the mid 90's and is an Indiana native.
He likes a challenge and is young enough to take on a few more. I expect he'll turn the IU program around in 3-5 years.
On a related note, rumor has it Miami should have two new assistants in the fold very soon.

Oops, sorry about that, I meant Coach Smith 
Thanks for the update! Good luck to Connor this upcoming season

Really liked the recruiting caoch at IU...a young man named Clay Eason. He was released with the new coaching changes. Does anyone know if he went to another school?
Miami has hired two assistant coaches: http://muredhawks.collegesports.com/sports/m-basebl/mioh-m-basebl-body.htmls:
