Gunner Resigned

[Dad04]

How are they able to leave if they signed a LOI?

Are we supposed to sue an 18 year old?

Gunner told me and others he would like to coach in the majors, It that route begins in the minors I wouldn't be surprised. It would be a very bad look for the program if he ends up at Southern Miss.

Danny Farquhar has been very successful coaching pro ball, currently on the Mariners big league coaching staff. Gunner could do something similar.

I hope this is the reason.

Of course not, I was under the impression that once you signed a LOI, you were bound for that upcoming year (could leave and go to JUCO or NAIA or something). Apparently that’s not the case.

Just more weird stuff coming out of this program right now. I’ll be the first to admit that the Gunner Leger experiment might have been a miss after his first two years as PC. But I’m still willing to let him settle in. Still not sure what’s going on in terms of what his role is/was on this staff.

But to see a guy who was an All-American for this university not only be willing to leave, but even think about heading to USM or any other G5 program is head scratching in the worst way. I’m getting a stronger and stronger feeling that Deggs is just a pain to work with, play for, etc. There’s a difference between being hard on your players and staff and being hard to work with.

I have NO clue what’s actually going on inside. I’m just a fan. But from where I’m sitting right now it just looks like a mess.

I share your sentiments

Yes

Maybe the pitching coaches aren’t the issue. Why else have we had so many in soon to be 6 years?

I was thinking the same. Im not a big baseball guy, so I don't know nearly as much as you guys, but isn't it hard to determine whether Gunner was doing a good job or not if we don't know if Deggs had him handcuffed from doing his job like he wanted? If Deggs is a micro manager, not letting Gunner call pitches, etc...it may not be as simple as looking at just numbers and determining he's not a good pitching coach.

[USLJim]

He turned in his resignation. His goal has always been to coach in the majors and so his career ambitions will take him to better places. I'm not sure his relationship with Deggs moved the timeline forward, but I wish him the best of luck in his career ambition's.

Gunner is a Cajun Legend!

WISH HIM ALL THE BEST
