Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[Hot Sauce]

Talbot will not be back.

Hope you are right!

To quote the original post..... "Does Coach Robe want to be a baseball coach or a life coach?"

As though these are mutually exclusive events. Rougaru hit the nail on the head with his response and I don't think I could have stated it better. I think every coache's responsibility (unless the players are getting paid) is to help mold and develop boys/girls to become great men/women.

As usual the thread has drifted, but yes I think the question posed by the op was moronic (def. very foolish). Being a "life coach" is exactly what makes him a great baseball coach.

Making men out of boys is the purpose of university education not the avenue they use to pay for university education

huh?? You think playing baseball pays for their education? Might want to do your research.

You think a University education makes men? Maybe you haven't noticed all the "safe spaces" on college campuses? If you truly believe that our higher education classrooms are responsible for "making men" you are probably in for a big dissappointment.

Nice subtle race card you are playing there...Todd didn’t even try to catch a fly ball at Texas..he froze. That’s why he went sit next to Tony initially. Then every time he got a chance to hit he struck out miserably. Why did Todd end the season in the lineup? Because he started hitting the ball.

Swing and a mss there, hoss.

Obviously, you neglected to mention I brought up the fact Todd’s average went up when he got the chance.

The fact of the matter is, there several instances of poor play that didn’t keep other players off the field.

Our team batting average was atrocious.

And I’m not the only person in this thread who has this opinion.

Baseball coaches are paid to win games and run a clean program. What Robe is doing, while admirable, is above and beyond and I’m concerned more important to him than his job, which is winning games. Don’t make it a “what’s wrong with society conversation”. That is nowhere in his contract.

That’s a weak stretch. I doubt he was playing the card and you just brought it into the equation. Congratulations.

I have no issue with Robe being a life coach as long as his supporting staff coaches baseball. Talbot needs to go, no sugar coating that one. Pitching in the SBC tournament was way below par. Who takes responsibility for that?

The man that has always handled the pitching here??? Hmmmmm.....

Yeah..... that's the problem. Guy spends too much time being a mentor and not enough time coaching baseball. You should sit down with him and let him know that. Explain to him what his shortcomings are and how he doesn't spend his time wisely.
