They had impressive resumes, and then the board was full of "Where the hell did we get this guy from?! I thought he coached in the NFL!" for 8 years.
Can I show up and then transfer out?
But wasn't the team he had this past season a team he helped build?
I was referring to the panic of Lofton (at the time) potentially leaving, so we hired the guy who recruited him to be the head coach. Seemed like a desperation move to keep him at Tech, which didn't...
But I thought he was hired to keep the roster in tact?
Absolutely. Doesn’t take long to figure out when all you have to do is time it up.
He needs to do one of two things, although both would be even better: elevate the fastball and work a tight...
14 pitchers have made at least 1 appearance this year, and 9 have thrown 6+ innings. The only pitcher of those 14 to have not made multiple appearances is Tanner Knight.
Quit bunting!!
I wouldn't say it's never an option, as I did highlight the situation in which it increases win expectancy, but it should definitely be more limited than it is.
It's also not a given that the...
Outs are the currency of baseball, and they are extremely valuable. In a sacrifice situation, you concede one of those outs for baserunner position. Sure, the advance in baserunner position is...
There is ample data showing that sacrifice bunting is rarely the smart play at higher levels of baseball because of how it reduces the number of runs a team is expected to score that inning. The...
We should start calling those the Spiderman unis.
What should something like that cost? I'm genuinely curious as I don't have experience in something like that; just want to learn.
I can't speak to who's running the facilities. I do like the idea of having an outsider run it, but $500k/year seems steep at first glance.
From a travel ball perspective though, Ruston has the...
Ruston's facility beats Natty by a mile. They screwed the pooch from the get go with the drainage system at Parc Natty.
Don't know much about what's going in at WM, but they better do it right if...
"You can't fire me because I quit!"
Sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace.
You cherry-picked first-time head coaches that are having some success. I cherry-picked coaches that aren't.
Just because you can find a random sampling of something to support your position...
What about all these times you wanted Lyddy to play?
I can do this too.
Notre Dame and Oklahoma are both 5-3 after going 11-2 last year. OU lost 49-0 to Texas. ND lost to Marshall and still has USC and Clemson on the schedule. Think either of...
Yep, no 3 star commits. Let’s just burn the whole thing to the ground. https://247sports.com/college/louisiana-tech/Season/2023-Football/Commits/
I mean that more of having a full recruiting period. We already had many commitments, including Lyddy’s, before Cumbie was hired. He basically had 5 weeks after the TT bowl game to lock up recruits...
We haven’t had much for talent in 3 years. Going to take some time for Cumbie to get some back here. Having a full offseason should help with that.
They forgot to mark our home series with DBU as a conference matchup... The little things.
I'm pretty sure they're doing that to show that each style is available, but God forbid someone wears their socks how they want to.
