Raleigh's Future?

Raleigh's no jerk, I'll tell you that much. But he will tell you what you may not want to hear, and he won't sugarcoat it.

When you have to change the culture of a program sometimes you have to be stern, especially when your team is the one losing scholarships.

you may agree with UTCLA, but a lot of people around the program evidently disagree strongly with you.

sometimes you can come over as a jerk when you're told what you don't want to hear

are you intelligent enough to mean what you posted (incorrect use of your/you're notwithstanding), or are you saying you can come across as a jerk to people when you tell them what they don't want to hear?

When you come into a program that's as low as UT is right now you may have to come off as a bit of a jerk in order to produce a winning product and attitude on the field.

well from what i'm told he's upsetting the high brass. You can come off however you want to you and I, but if you come off as a jerk to them, your a** is grass.

You have to change the culture of baseball at UT to a winning style. There's a fine line I guess, I obviously don't have the story on Raleigh, but if he's crossed the line then he may be in some hot water. A college world series appearance next year will make the higher up people think of Raleigh as a little more tolerable.

while TN is currently down a bit, they were never down as much as you're trying to insinuate. And I'm saying this as someone who wanted DelMonico gone since about the time i graduated HS in 1999. I'm just saying I've heard several sources with ties within the organization saying he's in trouble and several of them claiming a lot of insiders are essentially calling him an idiot.

yes some people can take things the wrong way when tell something to their face. He's old school kind've like my old HS coach, if you don't understand him then you misjudge him. Just go away troll.

I actually think you had it right the first time. When you're constantly told by the higher ups what you don't want to hear, you can come across like a jerk because you're upset.

Learn what a troll is before you go around making accusations. I have several friends in the baseball business, and several close to the program in Knoxville. This is what they tell me.

The "higher ups" may know nothing about baseball. They probably deserve to be talked down to.

could it be because you started trying to disagree with what I was told about Raleigh or the other times that you came into what would probably be agreed upon by just about all accounts my Oakland A's thread? Firebirds is about the only other A's fan that posts in there (hat says he roots hard for the A's, but he rarely makes any comments). Either way that doesn't make me a troll.

troll might be a stretch but you always argue about everything i say. BTW i wasn't trying to start disagreeing with you and The only thing i post in the A's thread is about Ryan Sweeney and some of your minor leaguers.

I'm not about to start a pissing match with you, but I disagree with a number of people on here. That doesn't make me anywhere near a troll. It's notable though that few, if anyone, comes to your defense.
