I personally don't know, I was hoping Avent would have won or done something to change my mind. I've pulled for him many times, I do like him & think he is a solid coach, but just think we need a new coach at the helm to revitalize the program & take it up a notch from where it has been. I believe that AD Yow might have someone in mind, she hired Moore, Doeren, Popolizo, & Keatts when people didn't have them as top candidates or thought they were reaches when hired. I'm sure she has a young coach in mind or will find one though if she does let Avent go. If Avent did stay what would your expectations be for next year's team, the same as this one? Have another average season, not win the ACC again, & either get knock out of supers, regionals, or not even make it. We are probably gonna lose all 3 outfielders, our top pitcher, & reliever, plus Pitarra & maybe Edwards in the infield. If Avent couldn't get more out of this talented, veteran squad, what's next year gonna be like? Is he gonna use being a young team as a reason? The decision making, passion, & attitude on this team down the stretch has been suspect. This seems like a totally different team than the one who started the season out so strong & yet they are the same guys. Yes the players have to take some of the blame, but you know what they say, attitude reflects leadership, that's on Avent & his staff.
