Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[CajunRage]

Absolutely it is concerning. But he had a different staff coaching the area everyone is concerned about. In no way shape or form is Talbot equal to Matt Deggs. Two diff guys. Two diff approaches to coaching hitting. My point was about who Tony is.

When the offense struggled last year, he gave Talbot a pass and used the at bats excuse. It got worse this year, what is he going to do? This IS about who Tony is.

The real fault of Talbot in my opinion is recruiting. Not enough D1 talent on the field.

Sensley and Lott are two that say otherwise. Both hit well when not wearing a Cajuns uniform. Not saying you’re wrong though. It’s a bad combination needless to say.

Guys...I must say I’m a little worried about MAT...has anyone heard from him or checked on him today?...this thread screams his name for a response...

I know you’re being sarcastic, but what’s this got to do with me?

Well in my opinion when you aren’t good enough to play based on either your bat or your glove isn’t good enough to stay in a lineup you are not good enough. That means one of the two is lacking and makes you a role player. We were bad enough that those kind of kids ended up being starters. We went the defense route in several spots because there was no good enough option to replace them offensively.

Or the hitting coach messes with the swing you had for the past 5 years 2 weeks before the season started

That also.

Please show me which poster said they don’t want Robe to develop young men.

Look at mountaindew's post.

Your argument in your original post was that Robe should choose between being a baseball coach and a life coach. I took that to mean he should forego developing young men and should stick to only coaching baseball. If what you meant to convey was that Robe should continue coaching as he is but care more about winning and losing, ok.

I think if you are concerned he hasn't lived up to expectations, then that is a good concern to have, but I think it has nothing to do with the "life coach" part of what he does (for lack of a better term).

Telling his team who just played their last game of the season and lost in embarrassing fashion that baseball is just a game does not mean he doesn't care about winning. There is no point in reaming your guys when the season is over.

Now at exit interviews I have no doubt he will get honest and real with every player. We will see how many guys will not be back next year because they weren't/aren't good enough. I'm willing to bet we will see some coaching changes too.

All I know is that we sitting watching former NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CC win our conference in all ways. We not even 2nd now. People don't fear us know more. Change in assistant coaching is needed now. If Talbot starts next season as hitting coach, the fan base will diminish. It would be a sign of loyalty over winning. I don't donate for that crap .. And I have spoken to plenty of die hard Baseballer fans who think this down slide is a water shed moment. We CAN'T survive another mediocre worse year than before previous year again.

Talbot won't be back.
