Cajuns' JUCO signees having solid seasons

[Dad04]

Our 2017 pitching staff had the 7th ranked team WHIP and the 11th ranked team ERA in D1, yet we sat home in June. That is sad.

Remove robe and miss on the next hire and Maggard signed his own pink slip. Softball and football were totally different situations.

Not even close to comparable situations. You better hire the next freaking Tony LaRussa, or you are toast. There simply is not enough upside for that deal to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Pressure much? Good Lord. See, Szefc and Deggs go into loser programs and turn them around with little possible downside. We will need to be every year bottom feeders for a change to be made, not a .500 team. Changing coaches would need to be a no lose situation. Good AD's are generally risk adverse and good risk managers.

We just feel like bottom feeders because we were so dam good at playing baseball.

I think he is up to the challenge and will get it done a lot faster, with more certainty than someone else.

That is the key here. Lets say this year we finish with 30 wins. Is that where we bottom out? Do we drop down to 25 next year?

Can Tony turn it around? Of course he can. We won 23 games in 2012 and followed that with 43, 58, 42 and 43.

Let's just hope this year is the bottom.....

This is complete BS. There are a lot of quality assistant coaches at major D1 schools that would take this job in New York second!.

Not what I said and a lot of quality assistants at D1 programs go on to flop as head coaches.

So let just say we go not counting this year but an additional 2-3 more years in a row of not making a regional (that would be 5-6 years total). What difference would it make if he would replace Coach Robe and if he would happen to make a bad hire? At least the AD tired something! So we should just keep a coach because of the success he had 5-6 years earlier?

However, let's hope things get turnaround!

That is true and a lot do not either!

Too much downside risk for the AD to pull that trigger, anyway.
