Would that be a good move for him? Is Belmont really a better program?

Yes. And yes.

Yes and yes. As long as Casey continued his ascendancy since leaving Belmont for Stetson years ago, he’s been the frontrunner when Byrd retired.

Big step up in program. Great move for Belmont.

Added bonus that whoever takes over Lipscomb may not do as well. Plus for Liberty. Maybe Idstrom status though and is promoted. Time will tell.

Yes it would be a good move and yes it would be a step up. He also played and coached there. I think it’s a done deal.

And it’s a step up without even having to move. All he does is change the color of his shirt and park a few blocks away. It’ll be the easiest coaching transition ever.

Except for all the hate he will get from that other parking lot. This would make their annual home and home series even more intense. Maybe not as competitive as it has been, depending on who Lipscomb could get to replace him.

Roger Idstrom?

To the surprise of no one, Alexander is the new coach at Belmont. I would think chances are pretty good that Idstrom, who is currently Lipscomb's Associate HC, will be promoted in a continuity move. The thing that may play against that is that with so much of their team gone, maybe they just decide to start over if there is someone outside they really like.

It's hard to believe that Belmont is getting more "love" on Sea of Red, than LU baseball and softball.

The level of interest here about this hire has nothing to do with Belmont.

And everything to do with them poaching the second best coach in the conference.
