Status Quo or Changes

And I would think a fanbase that’s been more than pleased with his body of work would give Robe more respect on how he’s handling this..

I can tell you this.. Most of the timeline has absolutely nothing to do with Tony Robichaux.

MAT, seriously, please explain how we can hire a HEAD football coach in 13 days after we fire Hud and how we hire a softball HEAD coach only a few weeks after firing Loteif. I do not buy in to this whole “process” BS to hire an assistant baseball coach. Again, we’re two months into the offseason. At this point, I could care less if there’s an announcement or not. I’m just calling BS on what is being said to be process related.

He used an excuse that all of us knew was bull____. And now this. I’m starting to think Robe has no respect for the people that allow him to coach a game for a living 20+ years later. This is just me. I love baseball. I love the tigue. I am beyond frustrated with where this program is at this point.

Are you talking about the 700 at bats?

Well first and foremost, our top 2 targets, which were both in play for a long time, took upper echelon paying jobs. That slowed the process. After that, the hiring process is what it is. I don’t know specifics, as I was told 2 weeks ago to expect an announcement.

But comparing this to head FB coach or SB coach is tough. Obviously Doc was very involved in both of those hired and they were extremely high priority; SB especially because of where we were in the off-season. Just a guess on my part, but I think the timing on Napier just fell into place with the hiring of Herm at Zona St.

That’s the specific one in this instance.

There were legitimate reasons for bringing Talbot back this year. A TON went on behind the scenes in 2017. I didn’t like the move, but I understood why..

I promise you more than a TON went on behind the scenes with Talbot in the 2017 season. It all turned out to be “poor pitiful me” situation and Robe bit on it. That’s a fact.

That’s the specific one in this instance.

I think you mentioned being a business owner, or in management before. If not, I apologize for mixing you up with someone else, but even though the 700 ABs might have been horse _____, what is the man suppose to say? “Hey fans, we suck. No real upside to anyone in that dugout and we’re just going to have to suffer through it until we find some players.”?

I think everyone could see through that. You do what you can to keep your team together and your supporters hopeful. Same thing in business. You’re not going to announce to the warehouse that sales sucks d|ck and their jobs might be on the line. I don’t fault anyone for being positive in speech to benefit the common good of the team/company/family/group.

But again, this isn’t that. They’ve gone out and fixed the issue. The announcement hasn’t been made for a good reason. Sooner or later, we’ll find out why.

Well, I don’t doubt that. I guess it’s a matter of opinion on how you choose to look at the situation. But, knowing Robe, I know exactly how he looked at the situation and that’s why JT got another year.

Again, I wanted the change made 2 years ago, and I posted extensively about it. In fact, I was on an island many times about this guy when I made my mind up in 2016 about his fit here.

“We have to get better. I put more on a coach than I should have and I’m giving him a chance to turn this thing around.”

End of story. This happens, I’m not upset. He fails in 2018 and you can him. Not that hard.

Yea but... we did ‘can’ him.

Glad we are getting a new hitting coach, it needed to be done.

However, I hope they do not go up on our Patio Boxes again.

Geaux Cajuns!
