True or False...Jack Leggett was capable of winning a CWS


Jun 7, 2015, 3:26 PM

at Clemson?

I for one had zero confidence Jack could win a title.

I think based on what little I really know about him that he was s good man, a good coach and did a good job while at Clemson. But I had little faith that he could win it all.

Therefore, if our goal is to win a CWS, why wouldn't we want to make a change?

Thank you for all your efforts at Clemson coach, but sometimes change is needed.

Let's move on and hire a great coach and get some life blown back into this program

Win the CWS? Heck. he won the ACC only twice in 20 plus tries so why would any rational fan expect he could win it all? Basically he is a good guy and a HOF coach based on his ability to win just enough games to keep his job for 20 plus years. Finding a coach with more upside will not be the hardest thing on Drad's agenda.

how many times has fla state been in the sorld series?

how many championships has he won? 0

does that mean he is not capable?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He was certainly capable


Jun 7, 2015, 4:03 PM

If you can take a team to the CWS on multiple occasions, then you are capable of winning it all. It doesn't mean you will, but having one of the top 8 teams in College baseball is impressive. You've got to be in it to win it.

False need to play good fundamental baseball to win a title...

He couldnt even win the ACC much less a title.

Completely false. We had the best team in the nation by far with Baker, Greene and that bunch and nothing to show for it.

False.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

True. Worse coaches than Leggett have won one


Jun 7, 2015, 5:03 PM

At some point in the CWS its not enough to be better. You have to get lucky. The best team hardly ever wins. The regional play format in both the regional and CWS make it less challenging to take out a top team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

so we should hire lucky coach instead of a good coach?***

After 22 seasons it appears to be false.***

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He clearly proved that he could not.


Jun 7, 2015, 6:12 PM

He had the talent and the staff to get there several times, but that faded away 3-4 years ago. The program has been spiraling downward since. Jack was done and he knew it. He probably knew it last year, but he got another chance anyway. Thanks to Jack Leggett for serving us well and doing his best. Time to move on.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So using your logic, we should fire Brownell.***

If it weren't for the circumstances...


Jun 7, 2015, 6:14 PM

Facilities upgrades, contract extension far out of balance with his level of success... we can't fire him now. 1-2 more seasons.

Why doesn't Leggett get the facilities excuse?***

Because DRad know its better to invest in a proven loser than a proven winner. That's why he's the AD, not us dummies.

Re: Why doesn't Leggett get the facilities excuse?***


Jun 7, 2015, 9:33 PM

Or you know maybe the facilities excuse doesnt hold much weight for Jack seeing how he hasnt won #### in 20 years.

Because unlike Brownell


Jun 7, 2015, 10:10 PM [ in reply to Why doesn't Leggett get the facilities excuse?*** ]

Jack actually coached here when our facilities were among the best in the country.

Jun 7, 2015, 9:32 PM [ in reply to So using your logic, we should fire Brownell.*** ]

yes because Basketball and baseball at Clemson are held to the same standards and have the same tools and resources in place to be successful....

Where do you morons come from.

The year we had Khalil Greene, Michael Johnson, and Jeff Baker...


Jun 7, 2015, 6:59 PM

Was probably Jack's Greatest chance to win, but we couldn't beat the chickens one time.....

ONE FREAKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the beginning of the end for Jack. The coup de grace.

Was ? Yes.... the no call batters interference in 2010
