Sam Houston's Head Baseball

Sorry, the fish aren't biting this morning.

One of the Sheepshead decided to swallow another load for the AD earlier... so now he's not hungry?

New post saying Deggs will be announced this afternoon. Not sure who actually knows anything, everybody seems to have sources (sounds familiar). Now I'm nervous again

It would be a tough pill to swallow but like someone posted in another post, it is better to have successful coaches move on then have unsuccessful coaches stay.

Geaux Deggs!! Now we reload...

If true, no crying in baseball.

Even now I don't think Degg's has been given enough credit for the last two years.

I hope next year proves me wrong.

Baseball coaches don't make tons of money like Football and Basketball coaches do.

And lets be honest, when both you and your boss know you aren't going anywhere you aren't going to make as much money as someone who is willing to look elsewhere.

We do not operate in a vacum do we? Robe sells 3700 tickets a game, and all the concessions, and trinkets that go with those butts. He has constantly put over 2500 butts into that stadium for over a decade. Get a coach of lesser abilities and you can be sure that number would be far less, and the resulting revenues far less. So while most of the ticket monies, along with concessions might go to the general fund, a smart man would find a way to pay Robe in general what he warrants in revenue he generates. But alas we have Farmer who thought we could replace Robe with a 21 year old rookie position coach.

Bottom line is Robe generates far, far more than he and his coaches are being paid, and we could actually end up in a negative cash flow with lesser coaches. Pay the man and staff accordingly.

Serious question. Can you back up these claims with numbers?

I also believe that the baseball fanbase is loyal to the program and as long as we play competitive baseball, the attendance would not falter. May not be what it was this year, but let's be honest, a down year with Robe at the helm would be a drop in attendance as well.

5 home games pays his salary ... 40 home games ...

What are the expenses? Many people do not know how expensive running a baseball program is. How many dozens of baseballs do we go thru? Bats, gloves, cleats? How much does it cost to spend an entire weekend in a hotel and feed the team? How much did it cost to put the turf in a few years ago?

I think most of those things are supplied by your sponsors. I know Louisville Slugger provided the specially juiced bats we use, and I'm sure a number of other items are sponsor provided. Travel expenses are paid for by the sport, but I think the outfield signage has been used for travel expenses in the past.
