Dawg80 may be on to something. Burroughs may not make it. Maybe this job was too big for him. This team is clearly going in the
wrong direction. That HAS to come back to the leadership.
- I've noticed a lot of Tech fans in this thread
accepting these poor performances with a "
well, that's just baseball", or "
we didn't hit the ball well last night. It happens".
- Or how about the guy in post #16 that says
"Coaches can't make kids focus, work hard and so on and so fourth. Baseball is a grind, especially when you have class. Not everyone of those guys is capable of showing up to the park every day with 100% focus, ready to compete their tails off."
SAY WHAT? LOL!
Did I just read that correctly? QUICK! Someone please tell all the GOOD baseball teams playing NCAA baseball that
Baseball is a grind, especially when you have to go to class. Poor babies......they have to go to class.
Seriously people?
Yes, baseball is 62 games, so it is a longer season. But most of you wouldn't be near as "accepting" if several of Konkol's boys were only shooting 30% from the free throw line, or if a couple of Skip's prized WR's were fumbling 4 times every game. Nope.....most of you would be ready to scalp the head coach.
I'm not here to recommend that Burroughs be scalped. However, I do believe he should be held to the
same standard that we expect from our other head coaches. Yes, baseball is a little different. But not THAT much different. It's still about getting 18-22 year old kids to perform the sport they love at a high level. Since Burroughs inherited a senior laden team with a strong history of success, I would suggest that he deserves to feel a little heat.
