MSU just missed (and publicly) on its primary target to replace Butch Thompson. Maybe* they should look a little closer to home.
Last week, D1 Baseball reported that Cal State Fullerton's Jason Dietrich would be in Starkville this past weekend to interview for MSU's vacant pitching coach position after Butch Thompson left to become the new head coach at Auburn. It was expected by many that Dietrich would accept the position, and MSU would go chugging right along towards a pivotal 2016 season with lots of talent and lots to prove. But things did not quite play out that way, as he opted to stay home (Dietrich is a Fullerton alum) instead of moving to the SEC.
