Quote from: BleedinRed on Jun 22, 2024, 09:12 PMAfter looking at the last 5 seasons some have concluded DVH is past his prime and we can do better. 

This is why we can never have nice things. 

I'm on board.  Fire him or ask him to retire.  Either way I like it. 

Let's see how it works out. 

That's not a completely unreasonable take.  We do appear to be on the downslope.

But how do you do it "several years ago" like TC suggested, given it was in the middle of our best stretch to date in program history?  That's all I'm asking. 

Quote from: HogOfWar on Jun 22, 2024, 09:02 PMIs this really the case?

Just because someone isn't ready to retire, doesn't mean he shouldn't or asked to.

How are you going to give better coaches or up and comers a chance to make the school better, if someone passed their prime isn't asked to retire.

So tired of the, "If we fire so and so, who can we get," or, "No one will come if fire so and so."



That wasn't what I was intending to say at all.  In hindsight we can look back and say it's mostly been downhill since 2021, but in the moment it would have looked like we were firing/forcing out a guy at the peak of his and the school's success.  LSU did something similar to what you and others are suggesting, and it paid off.  But Mainieri had clearly let their program slip below their pinnacle, while over the last six years Dave has had us exactly at our historical high point to date.  Plus, unlike Tennessee and A&M, LSU actually is a program that is a notch above ours.

Vitello wasted no time in pissing off the home plate umpire.

Vols gonna have to get a run in pretty soon.  Getting no runs with the bases loaded was rough.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

They just said Tennessee has had their lead off batter on base in 5 of 7 innings.

Aggie CF must not have known a runner was on first.  Just gave him second base.

Vols flipped the game with that 2-run homer.  2-1, orange assholes.

Didn't miss that one by much. Hope game 3 is this good.

I knew a 58 y/o coach that was one fly ball away from winning it all. I'm guessing if he had been in his 40s they would've caught that ball.

Look, I usually agree with you on just about everything here (even politics). I just can't wrap my head around this so I resort to being a smart ass.

Nothing but love for you. Woo Pig

Same, but you threw out the edgy remark talking about age, which I've said isn't my reason for not being a fan of DVH.

If that wasn't aimed towards me and our previous discussion, I apologize for the snark.

I've been accused of being a Vitello butt-boy in the past.   I'm still of the opinion he wins a cws before DVH.

I pay attention to CBSB.  He had a huge impact at TCU as an assistant.   He did the same here.

He turned shitty Tennessee into a baseball contender overnight.

Some of us see it sooner because we are just smarter than the rest of you.

While I'm soaking my own cork, after he nearly beat us at MO St, I suggested we hire BMFP as OC.  Because he was making less than our shitty OC at the time.

People said oh that will never happen or we can't do that.

A few years later it happened.

I just need to be in charge of all this shit. Fuck yall I'm drunk.
