Status Quo or Changes

[Ray Finkle]

Not once have any of the coaching rumors been true under Maggard. You can't buy anything until it's official.

Question....Someone said on here the other day that Maggard was going to "shock the mid major world" and that UL was "opening up the checkbook" basically tripling what Talbot was making for this hire. Is this the guy ? A guy from Campbell ? Not that there's anything wrong with the school or the Big South Conference but this is sort of a buzz kill if in fact it's who we're talking about.

No the 100K+ was on the tabel for the bigger fish

Question: anyone else here inadvertently, or accidentally ever had LTUR added to your profile? Or any other school added to it that you did not enter yourself?

The problem is you just looking at a couple numbers and this guy become “the best we can do” regardless of how much you hate them he was part of taking a latech baseball program that had done absolutely nothing and made them relevant. He has been a part of a Mississippi State team that made the finals in Omaha. It’s not all about average, they scored 100 more runs...give last years team an extra 100 runs and see where they end up. I guess if you are inherently negative you can find something wrong with every candidate. You can have more than one guy recruiting players. One is just the coordinator.

They had some good slugging percentages for a lot of the top hitters on his teams.

[Rougarou]

See, you guys are out here spreading salacious rumors...

Who is this Jake from State Farm anyway????

Are we kidnapping Jake Gautreau in the middle of the night out of Starkville? I will be proud to join the special forces unit that executes the mission.

Focus on bunting drenches swagger.

No it doesn't. Bunting is another offensive weapon that when used can cause havoc. See Cajuns baseball 2014. Also Miss St. in one of their postseason walk off wins did it with a bunt. The guy who bunted is a pretty good hitter. He was quoted after the game saying: "Learn how to bunt kids."

Salaries are based on reputation, resume and performance. I'm sure if this is the guy, his salary will reflect that.

Guys like Gautreau or Gaspard would have cost a lot more. UL was willing to pay them, from what I heard.

We won't pay this man (if he is the choice) six figures.

Part of the game. Every player should be able to get a bunt down at any time during a game. The real problem with bunting is some coaches don’t know when or when not to use it. And it’s not black and white.

Didn’t bother deggs teams, it’s about buy in. You have to want to bunt when called upon. 13’-14’ trans hit bombs and dropped down bunts 1-9. Give up to go up. So much is about mentality and approach. If the guys at the plate don’t trust the guy on third nothing works.

Exceptions apply, but in this case its about hours in the day, lost at bats, and hoping for another extreme exception.

robe has always used the bunt and we have plenty of successful offenses. You are trying to apply one exceptionally bad offense to a theory that’s it the bunt. You are correct exceptions do apply and last year was an exception. We weren’t even really good at bunting. We just weren’t good at the plate or the base paths.
