    Thereā€™s no way Schloss likes the bubbles. When they went up 3-2 then 4-2, the amount of bubbles was insane and has to be distracting as a batter

    Whatever man, youā€™re not even reading what Iā€™m saying.
  3. Levi
    I forget you fail to look at anything holistically.

    It definitely does. Flores let them tie the game which sucks but we had opportunities to either go home 2-0 or not give up the winning run. Itā€™s a massive mound of shit with Flores unfortunately at the top.

    Flores and Powell will get the heat but my god going 4 1/3 without a hit is awful. This team was hanging on by a thread for the majority of the game and we still had to fuck it up for them to win. If I was LBJ/Gage/Dre/Lummus I would livid right now.

    Flores made that play a hundred times this year. Then he completely zoned out at the plate. Brutal.

    I dunno, there were a lot of people that felt Sark was a ā€œhopeā€ hire. He wasnā€™t overly successful at any point being a head coach and then of course he had his demons. We were hoping Sark hadnā€™t met his full potential and learned how to run a program under Saban but there wasnā€™t anything concrete. Obviously heā€™s turned out to be an excellent hire. I do agree tho that Sark had more in the boat at the beginning than Pierce.

    Probably put Sark in there as well and going 5-7 in his first season sure didnā€™t help.

    I think CDC will look at the merit and think that itā€™s better to do less projecting. There is less risk involved in hiring a proven coach rather than a coach that seems to be on an upward trajectory and has a couple of flashes.

    I have already said this once, but to me, this is a totally irrelevant point to make in regards to how we should look at hiring a replacement for Pierce. Why are we looking at their entire resumes and not Pierce? I think itā€™s possible to understand that he has put himself in a hole that a lot of us donā€™t think he can get out of, but at the same time acknowledging his pretty good success at Texas. We should be aiming higher than some of the proposed resumes. And this is coming from me who has had Canham as an option with what he has done at Oregon state and being a head coach in the minors means he has an eye for development.

    Last time Pierce lost a regional game was when they went to Long Beach his first year. Heā€™s 12-0 ever since. The guy has taken care of business in the regionals and yet somehow itā€™s not that good because other higher seeds choked in their own regional. Ole Miss lost 2 straight to TT in the final and then Florida goes 0-2 in their own regional. What is Pierce supposed to do?
  12. Levi
    No, if Iā€™m choosing to hire a new coach, I just prefer guys that won a title over ones have played for one in 14 years.
  13. Levi
    Youā€™re not entirely because if you were then your list should include (no particular order): Vitello, Oā€™Conner, Oā€™Sullivan, Schloss, Gilmore, Savage and any other coach in the country with a better resume than Pierce has right now. The Walterā€™s and Bakichā€™s should be on the outside looking in.
  14. Levi
    Again, reading comprehension. And I do think hiring a better coach would have put us in a better case right now but youā€™re acting like itā€™s ok to hire another Pierce from Tulane. Why would you want that to be the standard hiring process? We got pretty damn lucky hiring a guy like Pierce and getting the results we have thus far. Football and basketball have shown what happens more often than not.
  15. Levi
    You can just stop with that ā€œat the time of his hiringā€ nonsense. We are at the present with what Pierce has shown. We canā€™t go back in time and have an administration and AD know what the fuck theyā€™re doing. So acting like we should hire guys with comparable resumes before Pierce was hired is stupid. If we are going to fire a guy with 3 CWS appearances than the replacement better be far better.
  16. Levi
    On the flip side, anyone wanting Pierce to be fired and replaced with a lesser resume, must be comfortable with the risk that it comes with. There is like 3 or 4 guys that arenā€™t up there in age and still have an equal or better resume than Pierce. If we canā€™t get one of those guys with one being Vitello(barf), then the assumed risk is greater than keeping Pierce. Imo if Bakich makes a deep run with Clemson then he maybe moves into the quality resume guys.

    Donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™ve leaned to letting him go for a while now. But there is this small part of me that believes if he were to somehow save his job this year and then make it an ole miss type run next year (in the sense the fan base wants him fired not necessarily we would be one of the last four teams in like ole miss was), I donā€™t think we would still want him fired two years post winning the World Series like ole miss is in right now. It would probably be more of getting over the hump and good things continue to snowball for the program. The problem is I donā€™t see that happening with him as the pitching coach and not being able to attract good assistants.
  18. Levi
    Not this again. Weā€™re talking about firing a guy that has 3 trips to the college World Series, hosted regional/super regionals, multiple conference titles, golden spikes winner, and a solid number of high draft picks. Terry and Pierce are not even remotely the same. And frankly the historical standard that we hold each program to is not close either.
  19. Levi
    I believe we were a 3 seed twice under Augie. Louisiana is a good ball club that has a great coach.
  20. Levi
    I mean thereā€™s still 5 power conferences, not 4. And I believe someone pointed out that the pac12 has an RPI ranking of 6th. Theyā€™re not even the 5th best power 5 conference at this point.
  21. Levi
    In the end RPI played a bigger factor like said. Iā€™m still a tad surprised
  22. Levi
    His last game wasnā€™t Utah, it was a shitty Colorado team.
  23. Levi
    The Augie days of finding a coach like him are over, sadly. With a Canham itā€™s just personal preference and no sound reasoning behind it other than I believe in 3-5 years heā€™ll be one of the best young coaches in college. Someone is going to get him quickly with the current conference situation heā€™s in. If he can take Oregon st to the series this year then Texas getting him would be an early bird move imo. Iā€™d still take Bakich over Canham tho.
  24. Levi
    On your second paragraph, one of the only national championship coaches that we could money whip, continually churns out good rosters, and is relatively young is Oā€™Connor from Virginia. Oā€™Sullivan at Florida is around the same age but heā€™s a bit of a roller coaster. Wouldnā€™t be overly disappointed tho. Non national title coaches would be a guy like Bakich Clemson. Not really down for Walter at Wake. If we want to go young but proven, then Mingione at Kentucky or Canham at Oregon st would be my picks for that category. Like you said, youā€™re just not gonna get a non championship coach with the same rĆ©sumĆ© as Pierce so youā€™re banking on CDC vetting good enough that the new guy can produce better results in the same time period.
