Question for those pumpers who say Monte needs time...
Jun 3, 2018, 9:35 PM

to recruit. When you say that, you're suggesting we're not talented enough.
If we aren't any good next year, are we allowed to use the "rebuilding" excuse from a team that apparently doesn't have enough talent to advance out of a home Regional just ONCE in THREE tries?
I mean, what will be rebuilding? To say rebuilding suggests that we have built something. We've been massacred three years in a row in games deciding a Regional on OUR FIELD. I'm not seeing anything we've built. I'll save this post for when this comes up next season.

We're getting slaughtered at home and will lose in the first round. Technically we accomplished nothing more this season than Morehead St did. We had a postseason appearance with no advancement. He said that was "good".
Jack had a bad 4 last years and it's like everyone thinks that just winning some games and hosting is good now. No way this would've been okay back in the day. Not doing it 3 straight times anyway.
If this is "good", than we've really lowered our standards for our baseball program.

At the end of the day, it’s just college baseball.

It isn’t a major college sport, it doesn’t support itself, and outside of a few hardcore fans, most people don’t really care about it. That’s not to say that we don’t want to win at a high level. But Monte has won a lot of games here, had us nationally ranked more often than not, runs a clean program, and graduates his players. All things considered, he is doing well and has at least another 2-3 years before any sane AD would even think about letting him go.

He's got next year to make a Super or he needs to go...

ADs always wait a year later than they need to, so it'll be two years for Monte.

He also took over a program that had missed the NCAAs...

6 of the previous 8 years. It's not like Monte took over a miserable nothing program. But if he can get it done in his 4th year great. If he doesn't, we need to make a change.

People get fired all the time before their contract is up...
Jun 3, 2018, 10:06 PM
|

In fact, almost EVERY coach who is fired has time left on his contract. You never let it get down to one year or you can't recruit because kids don't know if you'll be there or not. Long contracts are recruiting tactics. Have a clue.

Wait until he feels pressure from the fans...

I guarantee this loss tonight will prompt a meeting about what Monte needs to accomplish to feel safe next year and the year after. This will get the ball rolling.

Did he sign that today? The last extension I heard anything about was last year - throuh 2023. That leaves him 4 years after next season. I see no buyout information but that total value of the contract will be under $2 million at that point.

Of JL's tenure. The depth b/n Vandy's staff and ours was evident. ML is doing a fantastic job. Remember how some people wanted Dabo fired after 5-6? I do. Remember when some people wanted him fired because he couldn't beat SC? I remember. Rome wasn't built in a day. Chill. ML will have in the CWS soon. Maybe even next year. We didn't have a single pitcher with a game started return. Next year we will a veteran staff, a good lineup, and really good defense.

I'm just getting ahead of BS excuses that will be used next season when this team has a drop off in wins.
