Les Smith Heading Home

[Parrott]

You mean APR? It shouldn't. Benzel had a 3.0 GPA and will end up at another college.

_ how does that affect RPI? just curious _

If it were to cause the team to cross the APR threshold of .925 it is my understanding that your APR loss is based on what you were actually giving out to the player in scholarship.

Les has a lot to think about right now, including some family health concerns. Being away from home has been tough on him. Everything should be sorted out in another week or so. Nothing has been decided yet.

_ Never really produced, I believe it is no big loss. It is not like he did not have the opportunity to play _

You really know how to make some young man feel good!!

I thought he didn't get enough of a chance. I think this is a big loss. Sorry to see him go, but I wish him the best.

My main concern is that he isn't the first. Something just isn't quite right with the program, but I can't put my finger on it.

I agree he never really panned out. I wish him the best of luck with his future.

BINGO!!!! You are the winner!! Trust me..Les Smith is the next shoe that is going to drop..This should get Robe's attention..He needs to re-evaluate the way he has coached these kid's the last two years..It is real easy to lead a team that is winning it is quite different to lead a team that is struggling and needs guidance..Robe's report card the last 15 years: B- ; Robe's report card the last two years: D- ... He has been flailing away making numerous mistakes and constantly blaming the players(not enough hitting,poor defense,bad pitching)for losses--Just ONCE after a loss I would like to hear Robe deflect the criticism away from the player's and say "this loss is on me,I did not prepare the kid's properly but we will get back to work tomorrow and play better the next game" Great Manager's do that periodically..Robe never has..I know all the Robe "Kool-Aid Drinker's" do not like to hear that but sometime's the truth hurts

If Les Smith leaves the Cajuns program, it won't be because of Rob. Sorry, you missed the boat on that one ballfan.
