If we are being honest, and a coach needs to be dismissed it ain’t Robe. It’s big fish.
It’s safe to say that all of us would want the same thing. And yes, I do believe that some people just tend to defend our coaches at all costs regardless of outcomes which can become dangerous.
With that being said, and I’ve said this before. Robe has earned a little more time to correct this. He has done it before, and we are undergoing our first year with a new hitting system and pitching changes. Now next year and the year after that, if we don’t start showing signs of improvement, then yes. There’s no question that there should be talks of changes because by then, you will start to sacrifice the betterment of the program with a 5-year drought. And Robe has said himself. This isn’t his program. He’s just there to manage it. And yes, I am saying this as a huge Robe fan. But at the same time, it’s about the program at the end of the day.
Again, we have seen Robe turn the program around before (see: 2012). Let’s give it some time to see if he can do it again.
Anyone see what Florida’s record is this year?
Currently, 24 wins with 14 losses with the 29 ranked RPI. He has only been a HC since 2008 and he has been to 7 CWS (all since 2010) and won the title in 2017. Must suck to be FL fan I guess! And he won the regular season SEC title last year and made the CWS for like 4 years in row!
Really are you serious even bring FL up!
Very few coaches have been able to recapture the magic that they once had. That's why the saying is you're hired to be fired.
For most of his career Robe has been flirting with 2/3 winning. Overall he's now very near .600 or 3/5. It's a young man's game for the most part. Yes, there are Sabans, but not many, and Saban has never really been down in college football.
20 plus years as the coach, new stadium, and team is in a pretty major re-build mode based on all the JUCO's coming in next year!
Hopefully, Jake Wells is Deggs 2.0 and then some! But someone brings up FL! LOL
I must’ve misread something this am. I thought I read they at .500 this year
I don't like the trajectory any more than anyone and mistakes have been made. Big ones. If next year is another filled with injury, tension and weather excuses, a BIG drop in attendance AND a losing season, that might catch the eye of the athletic department.
I am sure Maggard will need massive support from the administration to make any changes. I still think another crappy season will simply get Robe put on the clock. I could be wrong. I was sure Gunner was gone in 2017, I just hadn't seen the MRI.
Here is the deal. If recruiting does not get fixed fast, I weep for the future and a change will be made.
