This is complete BS. There are a lot of quality assistant coaches at major D1 schools that would take this job in New York second!.Quote:

So let just say we go not counting this year but an additional 2-3 more years in a row of not making a regional (that would be 5-6 years total). What difference would it make if he would replace Coach Robe and if he would happen to make a bad hire? At least the AD tired something! So we should just keep a coach because of the success he had 5-6 years earlier?Quote:

So this would be the first time in his career to miss regionals 3 years in a row(still hasn’t missed it yet) and you are just going to assume he misses it 6 in a row? Obviously if he doesn’t turn it around then that’s a different conversation but we aren’t there yet. You don’t fire a hall of fame coach just because you think you can get a D1 assistant to take the job. You should go back to the post where you admitted you don’t know anything. You get rid of tony when you think you have somebody who can take you where he can’t.Quote:

And my comment of not knowing anything is I am not a baseball coach but you do not have to be a baseball coach to see the crap that is going on. New stadium, missing regional two years in a row and a current losing record with almost 2/3 of the season gone. So ole wise one tell me what you know about baseball? Homer type idiot fans like you are what the problem is! We cannot replace the coach. Did this 10 years ago and most of all that is important is he is my BFF.Quote:

I get it your point too. A decent offense gets us regional bids 2017 and 2018. There is a problem, but not too serious to the decision makers. Nobody gets their foot amputated for an ingrown toenail.Quote:

Well my brother played here and I went to school here and been going to games all my life so if that makes me a “homer” so be it. How many national titles has deggs won? How many CWS trips? I like deggs a lot but he doesn’t have the skins tony does yet. To answer directly, no I wouldn’t fire tony to hire deggs. If tony retired, moved on or ran his course here I’d hope deggs would be a candidate.Quote:

Pretty sure if you fired Tony that Deggs wouldn't take the job. JMOQuote:

And Deggs does not have the skins on the wall like Coach Robe and he should not because he has only been a HC for 5 years counting this year. But he already does have a super regional under his belt. And Coach Robe only has 1 cws appearance in like 30 years as a college coach. So do not act like he has been to several CWS!
I believe this as well.Quote:

The situation will get better when recruiting takes a new direction, gets fixed. There is no indication that has happened. It may be fixed and we just don't know yet. The offense is being fixed and now the pitching staff needs fixing.Quote:

If you listen to Robe post game it's always the same, can't pitch in their lanes, coach speak for lack of command, talent.
It's like any other multi-system operation. You need each system to function, or the whole thing just sputters, like we doing now.
Deggs came in early 2012 and fixed the offense, recruited some horses and we were off to the races. Is recruiting fixed yet? I don't know. I'm just trying to be realistic. I hope it's fixed, but who knows.
There is that, yes.Quote:
