Following Monday’s Nebraska baseball press conference inside Memorial Stadium, I asked Omaha WOW-TV reporter Ross Jernstrom if the Huskers’ new hitting coach made a smart move. After a quick laugh, we agreed that Darin Erstadmay have had good reason for firing himself as the offensive coach when he became NU's head coach, but now it makes equally consummate sense for him to rehire himself.
Why is that so obvious? Because Jernstrom and I see Erstad as a driven man with a perfectionist personality, enabling him to find a way for Nebraska hitters to reinvigorate their passion, reinvent their swings and recapture an offense that will be necessary for a Husker team that dreams big, plays tough teams and craves the opportunity to reach Omaha.
