Unfortunately They Are Not Wrong

Speaks the truth & it doesn't mention anything about the facilities causing the epic collapses. Some are gonna bring it up again though.

What do you suggest we do in order to become more successful as a baseball program?

One thing is have the Head coach make better in game decisions.

There's been plenty over the years. One was just in the story a ove where Avent pulled Parker after what 2 innings another was starting McArthur in RF & then in the same game I believe pinched hit 3 straight times in a row for guys whose batting average was lower than the guys they were hitting for. Others on here can probably have more or better examples on poor coaching in game management.

Pulling Preston Palmeiro in the ACCT game in Greensboro was one I remember as a real head scratcher.

People, others than us diehards who go currently go to games, aren't going to start caring about baseball or give more money for improvements until a change is made in coaching. They might not then, but they definitely aren't now.

Not hosting a Regional this year when the head of the committee was a NC State baseball coach and is personal friend of the current coach is also a head scratcher. Program needs to show every bit of revenue it can, especially with new eyeballs in town.

I feel like we are where unX was when they finally fired Roberts and hired Fox about 20 years ago. We are what we are in baseball unless something changes.

Do you know why they fired Roberts?

Nothing to do with performance. Well, not on the field anyways...

I should also add that unc called it a "resignation" but he was fired.

As a long time season ticket holder who actually therefore has to watch this team a lot, I'd say that is a good analogy. Actually, the season ticket base of folks that actually show up has dwindled to the baseball diehards who have become resigned to the standard late season collapses, roster mismanagement, and bizarre substitution decisions.

Hire a young up and comer - preferably one who is cerebral, rather than an emotional hothead who makes boneheaded, rash decisions repeatedly that cost games?

Good luck getting that answer...

I'm not the AD getting paid +400k to evaluate the market and find that coach, but I'm fairly certain someone fitting the profile is out there. Hell we have a swimming coach who has built a top 5 program with worse facilities.

Ahhhh ok that will do it then. Please bring forth the cerebral, young up and comer who will take our program to the next level.

That next level being top 10 in the country, ACC Championship winner, and perennial CWS contender. Also, this person has to be willing to maintain top 25 program status with top 100 level facilities.

See...told ya.

Yow found an alumni in Holloway that was willing to take on that challenge and heck it worked out!

You willing to put your bets down that that would happen the same way for the baseball program or you think that was just one heck of an anomaly? This all assuming there is an alumni out there that is college baseball coaching material.

I know you're not an AD getting paid +400k, but humor me here.
