FIU baseball coach "Resigns"
Kendall Rogers is reporting that Turtle Thomas has resigned, he was unlikely to be extended, so this was pre-emptive.

The top prospects out there seem to be JD Arteaga, Pitching Coach at um and Mervyl Melendez, HC at Alabama State. Go F I U!

Melendez would be a very good hire, IMO.

During our regional in which Alabama State was playing, I thought I heard the broadcaster mention that Melendez was already taking the job?

After some of the dumb base running errors he committed in the elimination game in the conference tourney, I'm surprised they let him travel back with the team!

RE: FIU baseball coach "Resigns"
The lack of mental toughness has been a trademark of Turtle teams. You could always count on them to make a mistake in a late inning crucial situation. He overstayed his welcome by 3 years if you ask me. I hope you are right eagle04, I think Melendez would be excellent with the additional resources he would have at his disposal. Go F I U!

RE: FIU baseball coach "Resigns"
Rumor mill is going strong on this one, the candidates appear to be...

JD Arteaga - Pitching Coach Miami
Greg Lovelady - HC Wright State
Mervyl Melendez - HC Alabama State
Marc Calvi - HC South Alabama
Greg Brown - HC Nova Southeastern (2016 NCAA DII National Champions)

It's a pretty good list if you ask me, I have a hard time between Lovelady and Melendez. However, the favorite is JD Arteaga according to most. Go F I U!

Interesting News....

[Image: rp_primary_Baseball_stadium.jpg]

Quote:In an effort to continue competing at the highest level and propel the baseball team to greater heights, FIU Athletics seeks to improve the FIU Baseball Stadium with a multi-million dollar renovation project. With funds still being raised, the FIU Stadium project will help improve recruiting, enhance the well-being of the student-athletes and improve the overall fan experience.

"We want our programs to continue to grow," FIU Executive Director of Sports and Entertainment Pete Garcia said. "In order to do that, we need to enhance the facilities and give our student-athletes the tools they need to be their very best. Baseball has a rich tradition here at FIU and we need to make an investment in its future."

Improvements to the FIU Baseball Stadium will include a state-of-the-art locker room and lounge area, indoor batting cage and bullpen area, private suites and an open-air canopy to provide shade for stadium patrons.

Also, the twitter verse is talking about Marshall's HC being a candidate, which I found interesting.

Not sure, but JD Arteaga is no longer a candidate, which is good news if you ask me.

Looks like ASU head coach Mervyl Melendez will be announced as the new head coach at FIU. I like it.
