Dave Schrage Left Aces for baseball coaching job at Notre Dame
Bill McGillis makes sure he checks his messages several times a day.
"Every time I look at my e-mails or fax machine, there are more interesting names coming in," said McGillis, the University of Evansville's athletic director.
Names he might want to consider in his search for a new head baseball coach.
Dozens of people have shown interest in the job since Monday evening, when Notre Dame officials announced they had lured Dave Schrage away from the Aces.
"We've got a nice pool of candidates developing, and that's no surprise," McGillis said on Tuesday.
Not after what Schrage and the Aces accomplished last season and what the new coach will have coming back.
UE will return five all-Missouri Valley Conference players and 16 other lettermen from the 2006 team that went 43-22, won the MVC regular-season and league tournament titles and advanced to the regional championship game of
the NCAA Tournament.
"Our program has always had a good tradition," McGillis said. "But with nearly the entire team coming back, it's taken the interest level even higher."
Anyone who's interested in the job "knows he won't be walking into something that needs to be fixed," McGillis noted. "He'll have a chance to win immediately and sustain a high level of success."
McGillis hopes to hire Schrage's successor "within a week." He said he already has a "solid" group of "six or seven" candidates. He declined to identify them, but sources say the list of names that have already surfaced include these four: UE pitching coach and recruiting coordinator Dave Seifert, Eastern Kentucky head coach Elvis Dominguez, University of Illinois assistant Eric Snider and Louisiana-Lafayette assistant John Szefc.
- Szefc has been the head assistant coach at Louisiana-Lafayette since 2003. He also is the Ragin' Cajuns' recruiting coordinator, hitting and infield instructor and third base coach.
The Ragin' Cajuns have gone 151-92 during Szefc's tenure and have hit .300 or better as a team in each of the past three seasons. They finished eighth in the nation in batting (.327) in 2005, when they were the Sun Belt Conference champions.
Before moving to Lafayette, Szefc was the head coach at Marist College for seven seasons, going 212-137-1.

Any word on whether Szefc is interested, and if he is, who would replace him?

Less than 12 hours earlier, Szefc was at the Cajun baseball team's first meeting of the spring semester Sunday night at Bourgeois Hall.
(God willinging) the coach will be on the sportsnote around 11:30 (CST) this morning after the team's 10 o'clock practice..

ps. any questions if you can't call in? (337-269-1077)
1. Is there any different sort of approach that they will take to the plate tonight different than last night, other than simply executing?Originally Posted by snote
2. Are they telling the players anything (hitting wise) differently today than yesterday, in order to get them in the proper mindset?
3. and not to soak up all the questions with just mine, but, either leading up to today's game, or before today...Have the coaches all but gone to the players and told them, "Hey, this one's on you guys. We've given you all the information and coaching we can, and have given you the best opurtunity to win (with the lineups and pitching rotation), but we can't win the game for you. If you want to win, go do it, and let us help you regroup for next week. but, if we don't get it done, it will be on your minds and hearts until next year".????
thanks buddy
