  1. He’s young and a disciple of Casey, winning a national championship as player for him. Before Oregon st, he was a manager in the minors so you can assume he can develop. At Oregon st, Canham has coached pretty well in the limited time he’s been there. I still think there are better names we should go after but if attainability is a high priority then Canham is going to get a call.
  2. Yeah he’s probably very knowledgeable about the game but we are absolutely fucking ourselves if we hire a guy that has never run a program.
  3. Everyone should be ready for Tulo’s name to be floated around. He’s well liked by people in the program and especially the players.
  4. Really want to know why Thomas was taken out.
  5. If he stays then it’s delayed 1 year not 5.
  6. So are we rebuilding with Pierce or a new coach? Because I can promise you that if we nail the hire, keep the majority of guys worth a damn, and add a some decent portal players, Texas will be in the postseason next year. Peirce had a lot to do with the faults of this team
  7. No. It will not take Texas 5 years to rebuild in the NIL era.
  8. Yeah I highly doubt recruits don’t like turf. More high schools are switching to turf for baseball because they’re cheaper to maintain and it allows them to host tournaments/playoff games without fear of rain canceling them.
  9. It’s aggy. Traditions are more important than anything so he probably understands that is a battle he will lose.
  10. There’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
  11. Whatever man, you’re not even reading what I’m saying.
  12. I forget you fail to look at anything holistically.
  13. 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. It’s a massive mound of shit with Flores unfortunately at the top.
  14. 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.
  15. Flores made that play a hundred times this year. Then he completely zoned out at the plate. Brutal.
  16. I dunno, there were a lot of people that felt Sark was a “hope” hire. He wasn’t overly successful at any point being a head coach and then of course he had his demons. We were hoping Sark hadn’t met his full potential and learned how to run a program under Saban but there wasn’t anything concrete. Obviously he’s turned out to be an excellent hire. I do agree tho that Sark had more in the boat at the beginning than Pierce.
  17. Probably put Sark in there as well and going 5-7 in his first season sure didn’t help.
  18. I think CDC will look at the merit and think that it’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.
  19. 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 it’s possible to understand that he has put himself in a hole that a lot of us don’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.
  20. Last time Pierce lost a regional game was when they went to Long Beach his first year. He’s 12-0 ever since. The guy has taken care of business in the regionals and yet somehow it’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?
  21. No, if I’m choosing to hire a new coach, I just prefer guys that won a title over ones have played for one in 14 years.
  22. You’re not entirely because if you were then your list should include (no particular order): Vitello, O’Conner, O’Sullivan, Schloss, Gilmore, Savage and any other coach in the country with a better resume than Pierce has right now. The Walter’s and Bakich’s should be on the outside looking in.
  23. Again, reading comprehension. And I do think hiring a better coach would have put us in a better case right now but you’re acting like it’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.
  24. You can just stop with that “at the time of his hiring” nonsense. We are at the present with what Pierce has shown. We can’t go back in time and have an administration and AD know what the fuck they’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.
