Re: Baseball Staff Changes
1. I voiced displeasure
2. Told Deggs personally
3. Fans fire coaches
Surely you can see how I discerned that.

“Like most others…”
“Fans (not fan) fire coaches..”

And he was let go in the end, so regardless of your assumptions, something worked along the way. Fans fire coaches, as Jay would say.
Something did work and for all I know your method may be the reason.
I'm just worried about opening Pandora's box for every in-game mistake a coach makes.
Fans are the coaches shadow and no program can survive if they are afraid of their shadow.

By no means am I saying I played a role. I’m saying over time, it was clear that something needed to be done, but nothing was being done. That pushed people to the brink and in my case, it came out in the form of pointing out boneheaded mistakes with a “that’s on you, JT.” And that never happened more than once in any game.
I get not heckling your coaches but there’s a balance. You can’t handle them with kid gloves either. And if anyone attended games this year (which weren’t many), you’d know that I was far from alone in that regard.

Yes if they are cursing, making personal threats, racial insults, etc. towards Cajun coaches. I have never heard anyone of our fans do this to our own coaches.

All good.

If he can’t handle “that’s on you” then he can’t handle coaching third base in D1 baseball, how will you go into Baton Rouge, Starkville, Oxford or Austin and win a regional? How will you ask your team to be tough if you can’t handle that and do your job?

In situations involving kids, rational grown-ups actually work their differences out when the kids aren’t around.
Reality TV is far worse than anything MAT or any other supporter says.

MAT, the rp folks really just want to know what my podna Big Cat thinks about the new hire and the release of JT? Big Cat takes have more fiya than his old man's.
