Nope, that would mean next year is a rebuilding year. Expect a slight improvement with larger strides 2-3 years out. If Robe is not gone after this year, expect that he will be around for the unforeseeable future.
Do I agree with the state of the union, no. But I think my previous statement above is our reality.
Predicting + 100 runs again?.... That was very bold, almost two runs more per game. We would be in the top 20 nationally runs scored, instead of 127th.
Nobody knows what will happen. Hopefully, the boat gets dragged off the sand bar, the engine room gets drained out and she becomes seaworthy sometime soon. Watching the slow but steady decline of this program has been painful.
Fans have the luxury of staying home, or watching softball games. I feel bad for the folks directly involved, coaches, players, families, support staff and media. A bunch of kids will be cut...again, next month and in the fall. What a nightmare.
Over-recruiting is a slippery slope. Once you get that reputation, high school players tend to shy away, especially as a mid-major. P5 schools can get away with it, somewhat. To a recruit, scout team coach, over-recruiting makes a mid-major look like they don't know what they are doing, which is true. I know Tony doesn't like it. Too bad we've fallen in that trap.
Bringing in 55+ guys in the fall is nothing to brag about. It is a sign of failure. It's actually a huge red flag in the recruiting world.
Recruit: "Coach, the Cajuns keep calling. Whucha think?"
Coach: "I dunno. I heard they bringing in 55, 60 guys next fall. That Rizer kid they cut is killing it at TCU"
Recruit: "EEEEESSSHH!!"
So you can accuse someone of calling him a child molester, even though not one poster has ever equated him as such (and if someone does, he should be taking out back by everyone here). But some people have doubts about the new faces that are coming in for 2020 and you think we are bad people. Go cry me an ___king river.
You’ve got a 25 year track record with Robe. We’ve got a 4 year track record with JT as the recruiter. His “nationally ranked” class from 2015 has got us a losing record in 2019. We’ve see this dog and pony show and we’re tired of it.
They behave in the same way. They put the man ahead of the program. I've seen some already threaten to no longer support the program if Tony is removed as head coach. They take his word as gospel. They alienate fans who disagree with their views.
The tendencies are the same among the ardent supporters.
