If Sim only had more money to work with...

Such a travesty for such a great baseball mind to be w/out the needed tools that other great minded baseball coaches have.

Some of our fans probably think he deserves another contract.

Unfortunately, a 40-loss season is not only possible, but probable. I would like to know who Sim has pictures of.

[PNPretired]

Why does he need pictures of anything when he can blame his incompetence on a player? Or another coach? He had more than one patsy.

Lack of recruiting budget and facilities have always been big excuses for him.

Tulane @ Tech Feb 21-23

Unfortunately, a 40-loss season is not only possible, but probable. I would like to know who Sim has pictures of.

The pictures can't have any relevance to anyone currently in power at Tech. Everyone is new. Only reason he is still here is because the right people haven't made enough noise. And baseball at Tech is like a 3rd world country after the hurricane has hit. Damage never gets fixed, just shoved aside or covered up.

Legitimate complaints

[PawDawg]

Legitimate complaints

Of course. We have HORRIBLE facilities compared to other schools who actually win.

[mentechsters]

Of course. We have HORRIBLE facilities compared to other schools who actually win.

Even with the upgrades, we are well behind most Sun Belt and CUSA schools. That's not an excuse, that's a fact.

[PawDawg]

So if Sim had more money to work with, you think he would or could coach a different game?
