Don't bet on it, is right--how much can they pay a head baseball coach in 
college vs MLB- ?  It's not even close like football--sure Joe would enjoy it and 
not have the pressure of a big league job, but he is a proven leader in  
MLB--always was either the captain, player rep, or spokeman for the players.  Did 
a terrific job with the fish--has to be very marketable--I suppose Tony Gywnn 
figured differently

I really hope Joe keeps doing well  both for him and as good PR for NU--and 
their production of top student-athletes--Joe is obviously one of our best 
recent examples.
