Status Quo or Changes

[cajun_lannister]

Do you have any idea how many P5 teams in baseball strong conferences have been to more than one CWS, or any? Serious question.

I counted 72 all time with 2 or more appearances. Many more with one or more including UL. So we're not in the elite group for sure. Even TooLame has two.

We have as many as UNO ....

Did they make the final four while they were there, or 4 super regionals, or regular-ish trips to the NCAA tournament?

I don't disagree, though: none of that should be the "standard." I think Robe does, too.

Excellent and very real analogy. Key statement being "be honest with ourselves". Nice to be in that elite group of 10 over the last 6 seasons. Awesome. Wonderful. Now ask yourself this question, who out of the other 9 teams could we beat 2 out of 3 on a weekend ? I know "it's baseball and anything can happen" but we aren't one quarter of what those other programs are right now. Oh, but we have a nice stadium. We had a chance to build off of 2013 thru 2016...............We s%$t the bed on doing so. We've gone backwards in fact. We didn't build off of 2000. Instead, we fail to make the conference tournament the following year in 2001. Who does that ? How does that happen to a program coming off of an Omaha season ? I totally agree, we are a "solid mid-major". But that's it folks. No more, no less and we'll see about less real soon. 2019 is going to tell a whole lot about the future and where this program is heading. Right now, lets just focus on winning a conference and beating Coastal Carolina because as long as they're in the Sunbelt, they're the target, not us any longer.

Some say the 99 team was better than the 2000 team. The one that fizzled vs a very good Rice team.

Having said that, ... Dropoffs after a serious run are not that uncommon. Usually loaded with juniors that get drafted.

No good excuse for the current drop off in hitting though.

Jeremy Talbot will not be a “go-hitting Coach”. I have confirmed that twice, by two folks that are pretty important around here.

You ppl should be ashamed.. Why are we actively trashing our program? Now, nothing Robe has accomplished here is good? WTF is wrong with y’all?

It's comforting to know you aren't talking about me.

Good ain't great. The Titans have accomplished great. I'd say way better than good, I'd say outstanding accomplishments. Hardly great, unless you consider the headwind known as the Fossil.

It’s not actively trashing MAT. No one is saying Robe hasn’t done good. That tweet was disingenuous at best considering the last two seasons. This is a message board open for opinions. We aren’t in that circle, period. Tennessee Tech is a handful of wins from being in that list.

And we are a handful of wins away from having a string of 6 straight postseason appearances...even as bad as we were the last 2 years...and this whole pathetic thread being nonexistent...

And with 6 straight, we still aren’t in that circle.

The decline of offense from 2014 to now and the fact that the main culprit is still employed is why this thread exists.

Get over it. There will be a new hitting coach and there will be no announcement. What did we want, a new hitting coach or an announcement. The world is not ending and hopefully the new coach can help add some fire into our offense. Can't wait for next season. Let's move on and look forward to it.
