So you're saying that you are satisfied with Robe's performance since 2002?Quote:

Oh, and both Lee and Bustle have posted winning seasons in their tenure here.

Not satisfied but not calling for his head. As posted in another thread, there was a common factor from 2002 thru last season who was not a good fit for this program.Quote:

Not that I think the season is already over, but this is the same thing I read last year after the first weekend, and things never improved.Quote:

Until then, they'll be comme ci, comme ca.
Ok so what you are saying is that as a mid-major we should not expect to compete for a Super Regional birth every year? I am not saying that we should be in a the Supers every year but we should be in the regionals year in and year out with a berth in Super Regionals once every 4 or 5 years.Quote:

This year is very early, but losing to SLU who had to replace 9 pitchers from last year and only returned 6 position players as well. Yet they came to our house and kicked our butts.
Robe has done a great job throught his tenure here. I am not calling for him to be fired either. But he does need to feel the headt when he underperforms as a Coach/Recruiter just like Lee, Bustle, Rogers, Maufouz and the Lotiefs. He gets a free pass because he is local and people like him.
He (ROBE) has set the bar high and expectations should be met in oreder to keep his job. One or two bad seasons spread out throught a 10 or 15 year tenure is acceptable. Two or three bad seasons in a row is not acceptable from a program that was top 50 for the last 20 years.
Very well said. I am not calling for Robe's head by any means, but since 2000 (the CWS year) we have only made post season 3 times. 3 times in 8 years doesn't cut it. Not for this program, at least in my opinion, but maybe I have too high of expectations.Quote:
