Status Quo or Changes

[CrazyCajun]

Thank you. It's not asking for much to be notified of pretty major coaching changes, as they happen. And it just does not seem like something Robe....much less Maggard....would not do, or have not done in the past.

Right? Almost like they might have a good reason....

No one has a good reason though.

And being concerned will change the outcome how exactly? Just because some people choose to not worry about things they can’t control doesn’t mean they don’t care. That doesn’t just apply to this situation either...worrying will never change the outcome.

Sports exists solely due to interest.

Interest doesnt change the outcome, but Interest is not the enemy of sports.

Some are interested year round, some only during the season. Some are interested on game day, while others are content to read the final score.

Interest is not the enemy of sports, apathy is.

Lack of concern is the definition for the word apathy. Apathy is the last thing this baseball program needs. But it looks like that's what you want. Let's not concern ourselves with what is or isn't going on right now with baseball.

On the flip side, let's not get excited when there are good things happening before the outcome is determined. It won't change the outcome to get excited either.

I can have concerns without whining about it on a daily basis. You have made it clear how you feel..everyday, all day. Also you have been told by several different people what is going on you just choose to keep grinding your complaints. Several people telling you the same name.

Tell us what you know then..since you know for a fact they don’t.

I think we already know the answer if Maggard is still the AD at the time. Just look at what he did to get Napier and Glasco. He didn't get mid-major guys.

But if we are a mid-major, we need to quit acting like a major program with a 4,500 seat stadium, specific donor parking lots, suites, club rooms, etc.

Good rebuttal...however...while optimistic about Napier...jury is still out...

Second part of your post...that’s kind of my point...one man is responsible for that environment and demand...one man built that culture...

There's that apathy thing. Fans stopped caring during the season when this could have been fixed before the season *cough* JT *cough*

So now it is fan apathy to choose not to pawn up for tickets to the first 5 games of the tournament when Louisiana was not playing. That is a stretch to say the least.

If they made the announcement a month ago nobody would be talking about baseball right now...Maggard is a genius

Nope, no concerns because it won't change the outcome.

Gotta keep grinding. That's what Tony preaches. Grinders!

You need to prove that they have a good reason as you are indicating that they have a good reason for not announcing.

A hitting coach change...at a mid major school....is not a major coaching change...sorry...

Normally you would be correct.

However after a 3-year batting average slide, who the hitting coach is (or is not) becomes "major" news and garners major interest.

When Napier was filling out his staff, fans did a minute by minute watch of who his next, next, next ... assistant would be.

Comparatively speaking several of Napier's hires would be less impactful to the FB team than hitting coach is to baseball. Still it didn't prevent widespread "interest" until his staff was full.

At this moment in time, hitting coach at Louisiana is a major hire.

Read it again. Fans stopped caring during the season when this could have been fixed before the season *cough* JT *cough*

Make a change after 2017 for 2018. Our hitting likely doesn't fall into the bottom 10% of D1 programs, we likely win games that we ended up losing in 2018 because of a lack of hitting, fans continue to be interested as we are at least on the right side of the bubble (thanks to a great SOS).
