Year in. Year out. It’s the same discussion over and over about how we consistently underachieve as a baseball program.
I have my own thoughts as to why he’s the active all time winningest coach but let’s compare him to a great coach in Mike Martin Sr of FSU that had similar longevity as Hall.
It has been stated multiple times that tech fans have unrealistic expectations so let’s discuss using Hall and Martin above.
Mike Martin and Danny Hall have both never won a national championship.
# of Cws appearances
Martin- 17
Hall- 3
# of Supers
Martin- 27
Hall- 6
# of times missed ncaa tournament
Martin -none
Hall - 6
# of times .500 or below conference acc record
Martin - 1 (2017- 14-14)
Hall- 10
Folks I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect tech to compete for a regional bid every year. Win the conference every 3-5 years. Win a regional 3-4 times out of ten.
No one is expecting a championship and for us to buy a title like lsu does with Skenes and Tommy White but look at the talent that has come through this program for twenty plus years and ask yourself why are we not more successful. How is it even possible that a first round mlb pick in Kevin Parada never even sniffed the grass of Omaha along with multiple teammates that made mlb rosters….If it’s not about talent, where’s the problem
Uva was not a baseball destination for top talent until O’Connor came in and changed the culture. They are now regularly in Omaha and hold a natty from 2015.
How has duke and wake passed us by? Coaching
Why is the fan base so scared of change….
