Nebraska baseball: Vote of confidence for Erstad an embrace of mediocrity

Nebraska baseball head coach Darin Erstad was given a second life on Tuesday. Athletic Director Bill Moos said the coach’s job was safe, during a recent luncheon.

In explaining why Erstad isn’t going anywhere, Moos termed the coach “solid.” While that’s certainly good news for the Cornhuskers’ head coach and the players who love playing for him, it might be bad news for the long term viability of the program.

Terming Erstad’s tenure at Nebraska as anything other than “up and down” is not being truthful. Since being hired by former AD Tom Osborne, Erstad has been a fan favorite, in large part because he’s a former Huskers.
