[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 878594, member: 944"] There is a huge difference imho between our football program, and our basketball program and our baseball program. If football was perennially ranked in the TOP 25 and had decent to very good seasons but just kept losing in their bowl games, many of us would be thrilled compared to where that program is today. Same with basketball...if we were reaching the Big Dance every year and flaming out in the first round, we'd be annoyed but MUCH better than where we are today. I think the arguments to make changes in those programs are much stronger than on baseball, where we are clearly a respected (if flawed) program on the national stage. That is NOT the case with the other two programs. On top of that, Hall brings in Top 10 recruiting talent year-in and tear-out. The other programs? Not so much. Now, I agree that there needs to be accountability for our pitching woes. But I am not sure honestly what to do about it. We changed pitching coaches a few years back to bring in Borrell, we installed a state-of-the-art tech system to assist our pitchers. We are all told that our pitchers are talented and highly recruited. I don't know the answer, but I do give credit for Hall making efforts to solve the problem. He hasn't kept his Defensive Coordinator on the staff (he changed pitching coaches)...so again, his program is different. I share the frustration. I don't have the answer. I am reluctant to knee-jerk and fire Hall just because we need to "do something". The French did something after WW1. It was called the Maginot Line. It led to a worse result and failure 25 years later, after massive spending. It is not out of the realm of possibility that a change could backfire. I don't know the right answer. I just know I love GT baseball. [/QUOTE]
