His arrogance. He does not let his coaches coach. He ran off one of the best pitching coaches in the country.

My thoughts exactly. Fred Corral is a darn good pitching coach and Raleigh ran him off because he wanted to control the pitches called, etc. His continual losses to inferior teams, no SEC tourneys, no CBWS appearances, growing fan apathy, and the guy is just in over his head. For whatever reason, Hamilton seems to be infatuated with hiring guys from smaller colleges(excluding the previous football coach). He hit gold with Pearl and he thinks he has the magic touch apparently, but Raleigh was not ready for an SEC job. Raleigh's record at Western Carolina was 257-209 overall (a 55.1 winning %) and 132-103 in WCU conference play (a 56.6 winning %), both stats far from what you would want to see. I know that in baseball 60% winning is considered a great season in the majors but I would want to see a slightly more dominant performance in a smaller conference before moving a guy up, just my opinion. He was a bad hire, pure, plain, and simple.

Telling a player "That is why your dad killed himself." Should be a reason for termination.

If there was 360 degree review of the baseball team, I do not think it would go well for Todd, however he did bring in some great east tn talent this year.

Because everyone on here says he should be fired. I don't think I've ever read one positive comment. That is worse than the Kifster. I've never seen him manage an inning but the fan reaction tells me he has got to be bad.

When ReTodd does his arrogant walk to the mound to yank a pitcher, I wish Hammy would, during a televised game, run to the mound at the same time ReTodd does and fire him and then wave on to the field the new coach. That would be awesome.

I would fire Raleigh just to listen to how he spins it into being a job he "could have kept" and it being a "50/50" kind of thing, and how it had made him "better."

Idiotman is sitting on a baseball hotbed and still loses to subpar teams plus we are still not making postseason play. Time to get a new coach

I would fire him in hopes that he would go unrewarded with gainful employment which, in turn, would require a severe reduction in his food uptake which, in turn, would save his life from the inevitable cardiac arrest...

heh

Hamilton is a genius.

Hamilton could just ask for a volunteer from the stands, kids included. Couldn't be worse.

I would love to see him whimper and beg as he left.

You have to understand that in the mind of a retarded child, kicking, screaming incoherently, and leaking body fluids from every orifice with the ability to expel them are all suitable substitutes for a "defense".

Yeah, but isn't it kind of like teasing the retarded kid until he gets so angry he ****s himself? Sure, in a perverse way, it's would be funny to watch Rolly stand there and scream and deny, all red-faced with **** dripping from the cuffs of his shorts and down his pasty white fatso legs.

But, still, you feel bad for him in a way, too. It's worse than shooting fish in a barrel, it's just too easy.

Naw, I lied. See, I learned dishonesty from Rolly. He has to go. :crazy:

Just finished reading Tony Dungy's book The Mentor Leader... if you do everything opposite of what Dungy does and says you should do as a coach and just a good human being,...... ypu have Raleigh!!!!! What a waste of space that dude is.
