Baseball Coach or Life Coach

I just came here to see if Talbot has been fired. I’ll hang up and listen.

Robe will never accept a job at another school for more money, even if he were relieved of his duties here. He’s proven time and time again he doesn’t want to go anywhere else.

And if he does, make the man nervous. No one should have a seat so comfortable that they have that power over their boss. If they have that power, they need to have continuous success. Not have sub par seasons like the last two.

So if we make it through the weekend with no news... should we assume the coaching staff stays intact?

He still isn’t nervous about life after here...sorry if that bothers people that the guy is comfortable where he is in life. It’s not about power, and clearly he isn’t all about the money or he would have been gone. Don’t see any of those things as faults.

Just going to scratch the whole damn list, it lacks integrity and to further that you list Robe as making something he has never made and based on a contract he just got. Your point fails on all fours.

That speaks volumes to me. If there are no changes.... that means comfortable. Comfortable gets you 25 to 30 wins...

Who knows, certainly not you from the support you have provided.

Top 25% is 75. Even this year and last we finished much higher that that in RPI.

So your point?

Edit: Furthermore you have demonstrated that you do not know how much Robe makes or even some you have said he makes more than. How you going to put him in a bracket when all your info on both ends fail?

I wouldn’t be nervous about life after here either if I were him. He’s getting close to 30 years in the state retirement system. He’s about to get 6 figures a year for the rest of his life and not have to work another day.

You don't know that either, he may be getting peanuts from the peanut provider at the stadium. They are pretty damn good.

Exactly so how does one put him “on the hot seat” ? Or have power over him? There isn’t anybody that wants to win more than him. He is gonna do it his way...which has worked pretty damn good so far. He deserves the benefit of the doubt that he will turn it around..his resume says so over a long period of time. In fact his resume says he will turn it around next year.

Considering there are about 290 baseball schools with probably 150 making less than $125K he has a shot. Thinking about it, top 25% would equate to top 75, and I'm thinking that may be close since most of that 75 would be P5 schools and there are CUSA and AAC schools that pay substantially higher salaries. Even Gilmore is at $275K from 2 years ago.

Rage & Fauxhawk are equivalent to 1* reviewers on TripAdviser...when everyone else gives 4-5*s for a Hotel or restaurant...you pretty much toss those out...

He is probably gone, gone, going to Atlanta next month to recruit.

Only MAT knows and he has been silent.

Over and out.

And your the guy who continues to give it 5 stars because it gave you a warm fuzzy feeling 4 years ago, but has been in steady decline, with lackluster output, the past couple of years.

Probably a 2-3 right now. If the general manager hires a new chef and improves the product being served, it could go up.
