Great comeback by Auburn. What a resilient bunch they are. I really don't understand why the Oklahoma coach didn't pitch Parker though. Even when their starter got in trouble, she didn't bring Parker in she brought the freshman in. I don't understand that at all.

me neither..shows that you can win a lot of games with one dominant pitcher though I don't think they have anyone else even close

The right coach can do wonders for a program. Auburn had never won anything, and in just three years, Myers has developed a championship program. So much is in the mindset.

The commentators said that 4 walk-ons for Awbarn are starting!

That's playing in some semantics and technicalities. Walk-ons in that they aren't receiving athletic scholarships, maybe.

But when you're on a full academic ride and were a heavily-recruited prospect, the term "walk-on" is a little bit of a stretch.

It's happened here as well. There are two players on the All-American wall at UT that never received a penny of athletics aid. Academic scholarships and the ability of a wealthy parent to pay his daughter's way so a scholarship could be freed up for another player can make a big difference.

I'm an all LV fan, but Auburn has been brilliant in battling OU....Auburn pulling in that home run ball will become legendary....Go SEC.

I didn't watch the whole game, and only caught the 8th inning (plus some highlights), but what a game!! That catch by Howard, if Auburn comes back and wins tomorrow, will go down as the biggest single play in the history of Auburn softball. What a catch!!

Paige Parker is tired. She's already pitched like 300 innings this year, and EVERY SINGLE INNING in the postseason going into this game. She's one-headed MONSTER, a work horse, and she's one strong and powerfully-built girl, but honestly I don't know how she's been able to do it. I think Patty Gasso did the right thing by not using Parker tonight. Of course, if the Sooners lose tomorrow, then people will second-guess Gasso, but if I were the coach, I'd have done the same thing. That girl desperately needed some rest. Had they used parker and still lost, then it's the worst thing that could have happened to OU. That was one thing I questioned about the Sooners going into the WCWS; what if Paige Parker pitched and the Sooners still lost. Parker couldn't just keep winning a game after a game, or could she?? Then what? But, they saved Parker for the all-important winner-takes-all game #3 and Paige Parker will be fresher and hopefully ready to go for the Sooners tomorrow night. If Parker is slightly off, and running on fumes tomorrow night, then I think the Auburn batters will time her pitches and hit her.

I don't care either way who wins a natty but I don't think Auburn winning a national championship will hurt our own recruiting. Tennessee softball is already a well-established, much-respected national program/brand. All the travel ball coaches, recruits, and parents know that Tennessee is one of the very best (premier) programs in the nation. As long as Tennessee upholds and keeps its tradition of advancing to the WCWS on bi-annual basis, then we'll be just fine. Our recruiting classes are already set through the year 2019, and each class from 2016-2019 is highly regarded/rated.

Auburn wining it all helps the entire SEC. Even the bottom-dwellers like Arkansas and MS St will greatly benefit from this in the long run. If your two worst teams in the conference have RPI rankings of #35 and #62 or thereabout, then you're doing something right.

Why is it so hard for me to imagine that the Weeklys-led team(s) could have come back from 7 runs down and win a game in the Championship Series like this Myers-led Auburn team just did tonight? Somebody please blast me and say I'm stupid or something.

You're not stupid, but the Weekly's have done well here....We have battled teams to the final wire a few times....So close we could taste it.

Dominant pitching has always, and always will, play such a big part in these things....And yes, timely hitting is crucial as well.

When they interviewed the Auburn player about Parker tomorrow night, she was beaming in saying they think they have her figured out. We'll see...Against the lefty's she has owned the outside of the plate. She is so dominant. It will be a fun game....

Go SEC.....

I agree. I do not really like Meyers, maybe its the brashness, but he is close if not the best coach in the SEC softball. I like the Weeklys and would hate to think where we would be without them, but they are at best 4th or 5th on that list. They are good honest coaches who care a lot about the girls on and off the field and in life. When the Awbarn catcher who was talking about one of the coaches son's who has moved on to MLB you could see in her eyes and her voice how much she had been taught about catching and hitting and life that she was nearly speechless. They have the attitude that they cannot be beat and that is all because of the Meyer people. I wish we had a coach that could teach hitting and defense like they have. Madison very well may be that person but she has to have the authority to do it. As I have said before we have to recruit and sign better pitchers. I know we have some good ones coming but we got caught in a crack by throwing all the chips on Erin. Always have to prepare for the unexpected and the ole injury bug hit us like it does the LVS basketball team.
Meyers may beat OU and it would not bother me but I predicted OU on this site to win it all over AU and I still think they have the best team. Gasso has done wonders with her freshman recruits. With her getting paid $ 300,000 a season or more she has really produced!!
Click to expand...

I agree with everything you said. Patty Gasso earning 300K makes a perfect sense to me just like Ralph and Karen Weekly each making about 160K a year.

Well, this is my list of 10 best coaches in the SEC (I reserve the right to change my mind in the year 2020 or 2025 just to mind you.:):

1. Clint Myers: 9 WCWS, 2/3 NCs, 1 Super Regional, 1 Regional, 2 Pack-10 titles, 2 SECT titles in last 11 years. The turn-around at Auburn has been just amazing. A small miracle. I will be happy when he retires in 2020 according to the plan.

2. Tim Walton: 7 WCWS, 2 NCs, 7 SEC regular season/Eastern Division titles, 3 SECT titles, 2 Super Regionals, 2 Regional in last 11 years. Just like Myers, Walton is innovative/smart, and has a very high softball IQ. And he recruits better than Myers. So far.

3. Patrick Murphy: 11 WCWS, 1 NC, 3 Super Regionals, 4 Regionals, 4 SEC regular season/Western Division titles, 4 SECT titles in last 18 years. Never missed an NCAA tournament in his tenure at Bama. Doesn't really have a hole/weakness. Very sound in all aspects of game. A good guy and the players love to play for him.

4. Beth Torina: 3 WCWS, 2 Regionals, 1 SEC Regular Season title (West Division) in last 5 years. Player's coach, connects well with her players, and a great recruiter. Has a sound game plan, and a good tactician. A rising star.

5. Ralph and Karen Weekly: 7 WCWS, 1 Super Regional, 4 Regionals, 4 SEC Regular Season/East titles, 2 SECT titles since 2004. Good quality people. Made a GIGANTIC blunder in not winning a NC with Monica Abbot. That failure will come back and haunt them as I do not see them winning a national title any time soon. Perhaps never. (they will have another shot with Gabby Sprang, Ally Shipman and company in a few years, but I doubt they will ULESS...)

6. Rachael Lawson: 1 WCWS, 3 Super Regionals, 4 Regionals in last 9 years. Only missed the NCAA playoff in her first year. It's not easy to build a good softball program in Kentucky, the northernmost state in the entire SEC, but she's done it through hard work, great intelligence and some luck. It will be interesting to see how post-Nunley Kentucky team will fare come 2017. (Somehow I have a feeling that Lawson may do better than the Weeklys if given the same amount of talent to work with)

7. Lu Harris-Champer: 3 WCWS, 8 Super Regionals, 4 Regionals in last 15 years. Has now made the NCAA tournament for 15 straight years. LHC is THE Georgia softball, and that in itself is both a blessing and a curse. Great recruiter year in and year out, but doesn't seem to get the most out of her players/teams. Doesn't seem to possess a great/acute softball mind. Nor a great strategist/tactician. But the move to put THE MOOSE, KAYLEE PUAILOA in as a PH was a stroke of genius and the walk-off win over the heavily-favored Gators was one for the ages. Hey, every dog has its day, and LHC definitely did hers.

8. Ehren Earleywine: 3 WCWS, 4 Super Regionals, 2 Regionals, 1 Big 12 Regular Season Championship, 1 Big 12 Tournament Championship in last 10 years. Has now made the NCAA tournament for 10 straight years. Other than his brash temperament/combative personality, the loose-lipped loquacious Earleywine is one good coach, and would have landed higher on my list if not for his lack of manners.

9. Mike Smith: A work in progress but has made some great strides in his short tenure at Ole Miss. The Rebels softball is a team/program to watch in coming years IMO. A lot of "firsts" in program history made this past year, and will likely continue to build on that success under his guidance. I really like him.

10. Jo Evans: 2 WCWS. 15 straight NCAAs. 2 Conference Regular Titles, 1 Conference Tournament title.

Auburn winning a title will not hurt Tennessee in recruiting. When your conference does well, it increases the number of recruits that are interested in the conference as a whole, making more and better players available to you.

Paradoxically, it can make it more difficult to recruit a specific player, especially if that player is more interested in the team that won the championship instead of you. So it works both ways.

I think that's probably a pretty accurate list. Those top 5 are probably in the top 10 in the country. But, never say never. The Weekly's just need to raise their game.

We actually had a very young and competitive team this year, The larges problem was team defense. They lost way to many games because of giving up unearned runs. That problem should diminish as they young players get more coaching in the off season.

We had a very good team this year--but we were deficient in two areas. First, we really didn't have a real stud on the mound. Gabriel and Moss were good/solid, but neither really had the stamina to pitch well for long stretches. One reason might be that the Weeklys pull pitchers too quickly nowadays, IMO. Somebody starts to struggle--and out they come. You have to let your pitchers pitch through difficult spots and start developing the mental toughness and confidence that they can pitch a complete game. There are benefits to pitching two or more pitchers in a game--you give teams different looks--but I'd also like to see coaches stick with the starter a bit longer. You don't want pitchers to think they are coming out every time they give up a walk and a hit.

The second problem is that we have too many left-handed hitters. The lineup is dominated by lefties, we had only one really dependable right-handed hitter, and this caught up with us against Arizona. And the Vols will have the same problem next year. The coaches need to find a couple of lefty practice pitchers and let them work against the lineup quite a bit. Maybe they do this now.

You may be right but that was not the tone Mowins was making those statement in. She was saying they were not heavily recruited but developed into starters.
No mention of scholarships at all.

The Weekly's have won more than one Super Regional and hosted more than one Super Regional. I would swap them with the LSU coach.

You are right!! However many of the better teams now are young and talented. Most do not have the defensive liabilities we have . Some, like OU and others have a young dominate pitcher as well. Even with a dominate pitcher on the mound in this world series I do not recall any pitcher having a large number of strike outs. We seem to whiff at the ball and miss more than most. Our hitters are not great fundamentally with the bat and had massive problems bunting the ball at all. I am not sure we will be as good of a team next year, unless we get a stud pitcher from somewhere, as we were this year. All 4 of our seniors will be missed. I know the freshmen are good but young. Gregg and Geer must step up. Matty will be fine but the rest of the pitchers is a question mark at this point. Just my 2 cents worth!

I just counted WCWS, super regional and regional separately. :) Not just for the Weeklys but for all the coaches mentioned in my original post.

You can make a case for the Weeklys but, they lost some credibility points in my eyes by not winning a NC with Abbot. had they won a natty with Monica, I'd have put them tied with Pat Murphy at #3. Torino is still very young and full of potential. I wouldn't be surprised if she puts it all together and wins a natty in next 3-4 years or so.

There are many in the game at the travel club level that did not like the way Monica Abbott was used here. That in combination with the perceived lack of development/growth on the pitching staff over the years has hampered our reputation with pitchers. I've said before we've had good pitchers but we've never seen them really reinvent themselves year after year. Evolving and adding new pitches year after year is a must.
