Wow, this is unreal, if he leaves after one season it will be extremely disappointing for RP and ISU I'd think.

I'd like to say this is surprising, but he's a California boy so I'm sure he'd love to get back to California.

I can understand that, but after only one year??? I would hate to see him go so soon, I know alot of people in the athletic dept. really like him and think he is going to make a huge impact on ISU baseball.

I understand about wanting to go "back home," but I gotta think that RP talked at length with him about a committment to getting the program back to championship form, at least 3-5 years, and that RP wouldn't have hired him without that sort of understanding. This is totally specualtion, but I can't imagine that RP wouldn't have had the "I need you to stay until the rebuilding is done" talk.
But, Terre Haute would be serious culture shock from Southern California, I guess...:krazy:

It?s an opportunity Indiana State baseball coach Lindsay Meggs couldn?t pass up. Not for his family, not for himself.Meggs has interviewed for the vacant UC-Irvine head coaching job. He was in California on Tuesday after Irvine got permission from ISU to interview Meggs.

Doesn't appear that Coach Meggs got the job but can't blame him for taking a shot at it. Hope he sticks with us in T.H. for awhile.

this is truly good news for ISU baseball, would have been a huge loss had Meggs left so soon.

Yeah. I always hate to see coaches bolt a program right after getting there.
