Nah, we can still limp in with 8 wins and half of our fans want to keep our coach.
I've never been more wrong about a coaching hire. Really thought we'd hit a home run(sorry for the bad pun) with Dave. Like the guy a lot. Like everyone else, I really wanted/hoped/prayed he'd succeed and UT baseball would finally become a program to be proud of. If he can't win here, I seriously doubt anyone can on a regular basis that is. Rod seemed to always juice it up in his contract years, but I want UT to be a force in the SEC. At this point, I'm totally convinced it's not the man coaching but the men making the monetary decisions. Until UT gets serious about making baseball a priority like it is at other schools in the conference, this is what we'll get no matter who the coach is. Honestly, I'd love for UT to approach this another way. Keep Dave and pour money into the program. Let him have a full deck to play with and see how he does. Have a feeling he will bounce to another school with better resources and suddenly succeed. UT will hire another Todd Raleigh and be scratching our heads on why it went that way again.
