Another Baseball Defection

_ Vinny Raviel's rant was an epic parental meltdown. I read the entire 16,000 word tome before it was taken down. Bottom line he was complaining about Coach Noble's use of his kid who has a career 7.00 ERA. I felt sorry for his son, who was probably lucky to be on the team at all. _

So.... what wonderful head coach can we hire that will make his players smile, who will be willing to share an office and get paid on this salary and these facilities? (My high school coach had his own office and I went to a 3A)

Just listening to him on the Sat.am Bitter show tells me that he is one smart dude---I have always thought that he would make a great AD!!!!!

As far as I know, there are no anti-Robe people on these boards or at least anyone that I've seen. However, there are those that want his performance and that of his team to be judged and graded by the all wise and knowing fans here, on the same level as those of the basketball and football coaches, namely Bustle. IMO, it has not been on a level playing field and I agree, I believe he is the best we have and can have at this time in regards to our budget and what we get for that budget. I have no idea how coach Robe gets along with his players, how he motivates or how good of a strategic coach he is. I do know that he has had success here and while I appreciate it, it also raises the bar in expectations and he should be questioned when his teams don't perform to expectations. The same people who bash Bustle and his 6-6 teams claiming that mediocrity is unacceptable while having to compete on a conference level and BCS level should grind on Robe's mediocrity when expected to succeed.
