You are hired to win baseball games, if you develop the young man along with that, fine, but your contract says baseball coach and it's time you started being a better one...37 runs in 3 games against weak SUN WORST competition is not what you were hired for...you took the funny $$$ and built the palace you said you needed and what does joe fan get except lack luster play on the field and a bunch of stolen quotes from the internet that the local media passes off as robisms...winning makes you a much better man and if what I saw this weekend was character building then robe failed at that too cause that team had no balls!!!
What y’all are missing is he has run the program about the same as he did 3,5,10 years ago. And he still has the same fire he had 20 years ago. It’s just now since he took on the Deggs project a lot of what everyone accuses Robe of being a life coach and not a baseball coach has become public material. Hence Degg’s book. Does anyone remember his Saturday morning interviews with Bitter that would run over by 30 min or an hour? The things he was discussing back then are the same kinda things he is saying now. And honestly....this has probably made him a better coach.
So you’re not concerned one bit that we parlayed the best offense in the country, #1 ranking and a brand new $16M facility that rivals any big time program into the (as listed right now) #272 ranked batting average in the ncaa? He may be coaching the same way he always had and he was having success. That is the exact reason I posed the question. So is he going to triple down on his ways or is he going to make some adjustments and right the ship? We all know the first step staring him right in the face.
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...
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.
The real fault of Talbot in my opinion is recruiting. Not enough D1 talent on the field.
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.
