I have no inside info, just a general feel given the decisions made around the baseball program the last two years. Every win gets worse for CDC, because Pierce is putting them in an uncomfortable situation.
People need to quit comparing Pierce to Strong (which is delusional) and Herman (which is stupid). Neither of those guys are in the same stratosphere as Pierce.
CDC is 100% waiting to see what happens because had the wheels come off the decision is easy and there is less pressure and push back if you can him. Firing guys like Herman and Strong are easy, you fire someone who has made it to Omaha 3 out of 6 years and has won 3 conference titles in 6 years, you better be damn sure you have your guy because if you whiff there are going to be a lot of questions being asked about firing a pretty successful coach because some individuals around the program didn’t like him personally.
