[QUOTE="CTJacket, post: 947832, member: 1635"] Here's the thing that irks me... I take offense to people coming on here posting as if almost all of us are saying things are great. I don't post a ton but I read every baseball thread and I've seen things like 'a change doesn't mean better' or whatever but I haven't seen anyone adamant that Hall needs to stay. I've known Hall since he came on, and trust me, people were saying the same exact things about Morris before we hired Hall. Morris went on and did pretty well at Miami didn't he? Before he left everyone said 'he can build a program but can't get us over the hump.' In 1994 it sure seemed like that was true. I'm not here to defend Hall, if he's gone or not I don't want to say it's the right choice or not. He's a big boy and can fight his own battles. Batt has already shown he is not as patient as every other AD we've ever had basically ever (most of us thought Pastner had one more year for instance). Hall has also made many changes through his tenure, he's fired assistants that we never would have expected. I would expect this. Barring a miracle run through the ACC tourney, we will see changes this offseason. If Hall can convince Batt that his plan will work (whatever that plan is) then I would expect Hall to stay. If not, I would expect him to retire (willingly or not). But this 'all of you idiots think things are great' thing has to end. It's ridiculous and strawman. I don't think I've seen one post where the argument was 'WE CAN'T RISK A CHANGE!!!' or 'HALL IS THE BEST COACH EVER AND SHOULD STAY HERE FOEVER AND EVER'. People have said he should retire on his own terms but even that sentiment has faded significantly. Am I concerned that the next coach might be worse? Of course, I would be a fool not to worry about that. It doesn't mean that it's wrong to make a change, it is a [B]valid[/B] concern. Am I hopeful the next coach will be better, as Hall was better than Morris? Yes I am. We can be fans and not continuously snipe at each other about what bad fans we are. Sorry. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
