I believe most reasonable fans on here do not think Monte Lee should be fired this season.


Mar 13, 2021, 10:18 AM

Due to the Corona virus, he nor Brownell will get fired this year.
I love baseball and am hoping Lee and the boys can get back on track and do what it takes to get to the Regionals. I think when we’re on here venting our frustrations, we want him to fix things that should be easily fixed. The hitting, or lack of consistent hitting, has plagued this team for years. Who’s the hitting coach? Monte Lee. Why? Obviously, he’s not that good at coaching it. He should take a step back and hire someone who’s better and more equipped to coach these kids. Fundamentals and base running. Come on, these boys and coaches should know this stuff. This isn’t high school or rec ball. They’re at a higher level. Play like it. Baseball is such a head game. The team is in a funk and it’s up to Lee to get his head right, coach these boys up, and get them winning. If he doesn’t, then his seat should start warming up next year. Hopefully, they can get a win this weekend and turn this season around.

I think you’re wrong LC. That lousy Corona has kept Monte from coaching just decent

fundamental baseball to this team. They don’t run the bases well. They can’t bunt. They don’t hit behind the runners or play small ball so to speak at all. He just doesn’t seem like he knows what he’s doing and is over his head. He inherited a good program and we haven’t made a decent postseason run since. I used to look forward to taking in a few baseball games each season. I live three hours away but it was worth it. I’m not blaming the young men but fundamentals just aren’t there. Too many things to fix to mention. Great coaches usually make a difference after three or four years at the most. We’re in a downward spiral.

We know DRad does not like to fire coaches unless there’s a lot of pressure from boosters, fans, and the dept is taking a hit financially. CoVid will bail them out this year. And he’s definitely not going to do anything this early into the season.
I know a lot of the team had CoVid in the fall, but that’s not an excuse for how they’re playing now.
Something is off, though. This program should be better, a lot better. He’s had the recruits to build on and the facilities. If the season keeps going south, DRad should have a “Come to Jesus Meeting” and let him know where things stand and what he expects from Lee next year. And what will happen if those goals are not met.

I don't get this Covid bailout for coaches thing. Changes are being made at other schools despite Covid. The coaching carousel never stops turning.

Everyone is using the Covid thing. Look at USuC. When did they play Clemson in Clemson in a major sport. Most schools have been riding this horse since the summer.

Serious question. Why was Monte so successful at Coastal? Quality of opponents?

Come on man if you have been paying attention you would know that CML is never going to take Clemson anywhere. It has gradually gotten worse every year. With all of Jacks players gone we have become a Big South quality team.

You are correct . We are going down under this guy. Hes just not very good. But nbc the apologist will continue to take up for him. That thinking will get us so far behind that we may never recover. But they will tell you they k ow best. At least its their money they are wasting. I for one have stopped donating until we get a change.

It’s time...

We’ve on the decline since Okey, Wilson, White, Pinder, and Rohlman (all jacks’s guys) all transitioned out...That was his 2-3 year window there. Beer was Jack’s guy too...

Recruiting has just completely tanked...as has talent evaluation...At this point, the conversation needs to be had....

Need to give Lee 2 more years and if no better need to replace Clemson baseball historically has been our #1 or # 2 sport Brad needs to get us in the NCAA tournament at least ever other year and the NIT the years in between or replace him

Lee gets one more year after this one simply because he won the ACC in his first season. I was a huge fan of the hire, but he’s not getting it done.

Brownell should’ve been fired in 2016, the fact he still coaching at Clemson means administration does not care about basketball

I was too. Actually felt sorry for him listening to his presser Tues.

But today was a perfect example. Bases loaded 1 out, already walked 3 in. Reid gets up and swings at the first pitch right after they'd changed pitchers for the 3rd time. Pop up, that happens and no telling what may have happened had he taken a couple pitches.

Besides the point, we didn't need Reid in there, we had other players. I think Monte could have pinch hit Reid. Gone to the bench and pulled your best and fastest bunter on the team. Maybe Sharpe. Pitcher probably thinks you're putting in a long ball/sac fly hitter. Instead, lay one down the first base line.
