Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[CrazyCajun]

You do realize USL/UL was successful before Tony got here right? Mike Boulanger coached for 7 seasons at a .674 winning percentage with 4 tourney appearances. Robe is at .614 in 22 seasons with 12 appearances.

Yeah things haven’t changed at all in college baseball. Very well aware, my brother played here for Boulanger but appreciate the history lesson.

Except for losing his "stud pitcher" everything I quoted from your post is true.

Under no set of circumstances was he ever going to "have" his 2017 stud pitcher in 2018. His stud pitcher knew.

Due to an unfortunate set of events (for the 2017 stud pitcher) he will have the stud pitcher in 2019.

Other than that non factor (this year) every other obstacle you named that Robichaux and Co. amazingly overcame is true.

I still don't know how he did it.

So you know more than tony and gunner about the situation? Even after he was hurt and decided to come back, they still thought he would pitch this year..post surgery.

What we do for any coach who doesn’t meet expectations. We voice displeasure, consider withholding support, etc.

There’s a separate thread about the perception of our athletic program. In it, ULVictory identifies a reasonable expectations for baseball as regional appearances every other year. Even Metry, a self identified LSU football fan and casual fan of other UL sports, agrees with ULVictory’s expectations. Right now, the baseball program isn’t meeting that expectation. There’s a chance to correct it. But does Robe make the tough decision about JT or does he bring him back again? The silence is deafening right now. And prior history says JT leaves baseball before he’s not brought back as hitting coach.

The most successful football coach we ever had was run out of town making a bowl game in 5 of his 7 years. Why was he run out? He wasn’t meeting the expectations of the fan base the 3 years. We wanted more than to be a 4th place Sun Belt football team. Right now, I’m feeling the same about UL baseball. I’m wanting to be more than a 5th place Sun belt baseball team with the resources being placed into the program.

God bless you. I seriously belted out several laughs, while in a meeting.

How I got labeled as either of these things is baffling to me. My wife, kids and friends constantly make fun of me for following UL to the degree I do. I am routinely called an LSU hater. Sorry following UL on my phone while my daughters soccer team watches LSU at the restaurant makes me a sell out. Maybe this year My family will stay in the hotel by ourselves watching the Cajuns on My laptop while the whole group goes to dinner to watch the LSU game. Then I could regain my Cajun bonafides.

LMMFAO... it gets better! I’m crying.

Early recovery pitching does not equal "return" of "stud" pitcher.

Robe didn't lose what he wasn't going to get.

Other than that non factor, Robichaux has done an amazing job this year.

Basketball isn’t successful. When’s the last NCAA appearance? When’s the last NCAA tournament victory. Basketball is skating on thin ice.

Absolute great apples-to-apples comparison...on one hand HUD who got a new _____hole ripped every time he stepped on the field against P5s...versus a guy who at 1 point got our program equivalent to Alabama Football from a rankings standpoint, but in baseball...

We haven't experienced "the last time" yet.

Well the turning point for Hud's career here was when he was up on, but got super conservative against that P5 Florida team.
