How is that the managers fault? Pitching gets tougher with RISP.

Again, the man can defy logic. If he is making promises to players, that is pretty stupid. A coach should NEVER let a player dictate when and how much he plays. You may be most accurate on saying that he is a terrible evaluator of talent. He THINKS he knows all, sees all...and now he is hearing all.
I will give one thing to Sim since he has came to Tech, he has developed the facilities a great amount which many of you have stated. This has been great for the program and should allow for the staff to go out and get better recruits. I don't know if he can't develop the kids once they get on campus or if they are just simply satisfied with being a Division 1 athlete. If the kids are satisfied with being D1 then that still goes back into recruiting because only true competitors should be recruited regardless of talent. Sim should have gotten rid of Rountree a long time ago and hired a recruiting coordinator that was a go-getter and it could have possibly made up for some of the lack of coaching. He chose not to do that and at the end of the day its going to be costly. Sim is a great guy, but with TM as the new AD it doesn't seem like that is going to cut it anymore and rightfully so. Hopefully the Dawgs can turn it around starting tomorrow night and get this train rolling. Lets go Dawgs!!
Sim has over stayed his welcome! And any of you that think otherwise might as well milk the same cow that he has.
I couldn't disagree more bulldog1962.... Anyone can do fundraiser and be friendly to people to get them to donate and improve facilities. We need a coach, sim became the one that was complacent when he got here. We need a coach that's hungry to prove something. All you have to do is sit at the games find a former player and they will be the first to tell you he has no fire, and will let things slide especially if you're a "chosen one"
Well said, but it is more difficult than you think to be successful at raising money. Try selling girl scout cookies, a little more difficult than you think. I guess the "chosen one's" better start producing or this season is really gonna get out of hand. Who would yall say are some of the chosen ones on this year's team?
The College World Series? This team couldn't win the Little League World Series. Sim is done.
So what coaches' kid will be hired as our next baseball HC?
Even a 23 year old Coach's Kid would have to be an improvement. At least we still have Charlotte...I say send Sim to the house and let the seniors coach and we would have a better chance of winning.
Maybe Sim needs to start one of these:

Tech alum commish Tom Burnett is busy with this one.
Louisiana Tech University
Flagship of the University of Louisiana System
ULL is ranked 7th in the country right now and has consistently been a good baseball program over the same period of time Simoneaux has been in Ruston.
They have a total athletic budget LESS than ours. Receive less in donations to their athletic fund and receive less in total conference distributions.
Please stop with the budget crap.
Simoneaux has killed a once proud program.
