I think for competent guys like Mainieri and Murphy it is.

They both parlayed their ND gigs into LSU and ASU jobs, respectively. Not a bad selling point at all. ND baseball coach might not be a final destination for a great coach but frankly I have no problem with ND baseball coach being somewhat of a stepping stone job. As usual the ND name makes the job attractive and opens up more and bigger opportunities than other non-traditional baseball schools. I'm not sure if our facilities could use an upgrade but if so, sell a promising coach on the fact that we're willing to spend a little money. The administration needs to sell the program a bit but I can't believe any spend would break the international bank of ND. Finally, Mary deserves a solid baseball program. I gotta believe she'd be a baseball mom if Jesus played travel ball. I'm also certain that our savior Jesus Christ could hit a curve ball with the best of them.
