Ok but who keeps employing him (JT)?
If the coach does not want to get rid of his BFF then the admin has to step in and well guess what clean house. NO ONE PERSON AND YES THIS INCLUDES EVEN THE GREAT TONY IS BIGGER THAN THE PROGRAM!

People want to put pressure on a coach that literally has the deck stacked against him (marlin) but won’t expect more out of a coach of a sport that we legitimately have national championship possibilities. Curious if softball fell to the point of not playing in postseason every year, would they have 3-5 years to “right the ship” or would there be serious concern about the coach and his program.
I’m not looking to argue. Tony set the bar for expectations at this school. Has the game passed him by? I don’t believe so. He’s one of the only coaches I’ve ever interacted with here that actually makes a major effort to constantly evolve. Most older baseball coaches are set in their ways.
Do I believe he’s missed on some assistants? You bet your ___ I do. (I don’t think Jake Wells is one of them, by the way). If anything, at this point, I think it’s a generational gap issue. I wonder if his original philosophy of hard nosed, beat down teaching has been replaced with a more laxed approach, and the results are what they are. You can’t really coach that way anymore, and maybe this new way that they hold players accountable is causing rifts. Or even worse, it only attracts a certain kind of recruit.
Idk.
The worst part is that our team looks poorly coached, not just bad.
