Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[ManAboutTown]

To the original premise of this thread... I want BOTH.. a life coach and a baseball coach.... And in an extremely unique set of circumstances we do have BOTH in coach Robe. The man knows baseball and he knows about life.... If I had a stud kid in baseball, I would without a doubt steer him to UL and not because that is where my heart is.

I have mentioned I have a nephew playing for UNO. He was extremely unsuccessful this year and his family is blaming the coaches. So he has nothing for his experience at UNO. His fault? maybe... Coaches fault? maybe... There are many who go through the a&m@br program and come away with nothing... we all hear about their kids in the bigs.... but we don't hear about those who were run off after coming into the program with 5 star credentials...

I want it all and we have it. It is ridiculous to be even contemplating replacing Robe. I have complete confidence he will turn it around. MAT has another of his "insights from people in the know" that changes are coming. I am sure that is the case. Whatever happens we can't get anyone better. VERY few programs can. Bum Phillips once said "He may not be in a class of his own but it don't take long to call the role".

We should remember that

I can’t win with you people...

My VIP status has been revoked. I miss Scott so much.

I miss you too.

I miss you too.

That means a lot. I’ll never forget our long talks at the Corner Bar. I always loved your Mike Lotief impression.

Dude lighten up.. I said "I am sure that is the case" and I meant it. You have proven more reliable than not.

Fire Bab, fire Talbot, Robe giving up on becoming Tony Robbins in cleats, Hire someone you can promise head coach in waiting to so they don't leave at the first sniff. If Robe can't or won't...blow it up and start anew. We have tradition, we have a large fan base, we have a sparkling new stadium, we have as fertile a recruiting ground as there is. There is a morning after...even if you guys can't handle it.

Robe won't follow your suggestions and the administration won't make him blow it up because of it. Granted we all have opinions and suggestions. It's just that in this case the no. who advocate a drastic change are not nearly enough to have any impact whatsoever with the decision makers. Granted such posts do serve the purpose of releasing frustration but that is all they do.

I have heard an unconfirmed rumor, from an unreliable 3rd party source, that Tony and UL are entertaining the idea of hiring a new hitting coach that most knowledgeable baseball fans will have heard of. I won't state his name here at this time because it is currently only an unsubstantiated rumor. However, if it becomes a reality, I am positive some will be very happy and some will be very disappointed for a variety of reasons. I think if it becomes a reality, I will be on the side of the happy people!

I like the way you protected yourself in that post. Words like unconfirmed, unreliable, and third party tell me that there is only a slight possibility what you imply comes to pass.

I appreciate it Mike and hope the rumor I heard is at least partially correct! LOL!!!

ROI

Since they went up double on the price for baseball tickets, should I as a fan expect double the product on the field.

I know this is not realistic, however after a season like we just had it is hard to swallow.

I guess what I am trying to say is WINNING cures everything and we need to get back to our winning ways or they will be a lot less people in our new palace.

Actually, I didn't think the tickets went up that much. The "donation" did go up quite a bit.

Patio boxes went up double no matter how you slice the pie, either ticket prices and/or RCAF donation.

Double the price a week before the season starts is hard to swallow.

Meant before season tickets went on sell.
