Let Ramsey coach the rest of the year and hopefully keep the recruiting class intact. Four signees decided to play pro ball this year and three underclassmen also signed pro contracts. Hard to replace all of that. Just a point: we have little to no NIL money, which limits us in the Portal. Like CBK let’s see how the team responds to a new voice at the head of the program. Evaluate and search at the end of the season to hire the next coach.
I guess my only problem with Ramsey taking over now is that it doesn't seem to be that useful a test. The season is 43% done and baseball is a game that takes years to develop. I don't think (which may be the problem - tic) that Hall has made any real egregious moves this year and I think the players are motivated.
So changing out to Ramsey now would have the biggest impact on next year's team roster, which we wouldn't be able to evaluate very well by the end of the season. We would not be able to compare who left and would not have stayed under Hall since we can't do both courses.
Regardless, I've wanted Hall gone for over 5 years based on the team's post season performance relative to my perception of talent. So a change after Easter Day for Ramsey would be fine by me.
But I don't see this change happening. Hall remains very successful at getting players drafted. The past MLB players who contribute a lot to the program may value that aspect as much as team winning, after all we are just another stop on the players careers who make it to the MLB. The MLBers may have sufficient loyalty to Hall to overlook the team record.
Happy Easter guys, this too shall pass.
