2018 TCU BASEBALL SEASON THREAD

If he leaves, with the program at a low point coming off a disappointing season, then he is not the man we think he is.

I think the decision was made well before last night happened

It’s my experience that almost none of them are the man we think they are. Most are about half the man we think they are and half the man they WANT us to think they are.

There is a lot of truth to this.

I feel the same way (assuming he leaves). [ Finebaum ]ty when you think about it but that seems to be the way this process works these days.

So tuition has gone up THAT much in 2 years? To the point that he COULD recruit just fine a year or two ago, but now he's suddenly hamstrung? No. He's not going anywhere.

I didn’t say he’s leaving. I listed reasons for him to leave that at all more likely than him hating Donati.

Matt Deggs is a name I hope gets consideration if/when this happens

Who somewhat ironically played for JS at Tulane. As did current MSU assistant Jake Gautreau.

Which is why we get to keep Jake. He's a great hitting coach and our crootin' coordinator.

FIXED. Always a good idea to let it play out before declaring things as facts.

What about the guy at Texas State if/when...

No to both of the above suggestions. We gotta aim WAY higher than that.

If we’re targeting current head coaches the lowest I’m setting the bar is guys like Mazey and Whitting.

I am very interested to see what names this job can attract which is why I don’t think Saarloos will get the job

It’s entirely possible if not probable that some very successful current HCs would have significant interest in TCU. Gotta make sure you don’t lose KS in the process and then fail to hire one of those guys though. Tricky.

My feelings as well. Probably too harsh. But it is what it is.

This is where having an unproven AD when it comes to hiring for major positions has me very concerned.

He mentioned the cost/scholarship issue to me 10+ years ago, fwiw.

 

[Gary's Shirtless Revenge]

TCU Cost of Attendance: $60,704

Miss St Cost of Attendance for OOS: $38,410

Discount rate: 37%

That would be the main reason.

Then he needs to talk with the administration to find a solution if he truly loves TCU.

Starkville just happens to be the best open job but that doesn’t mean run and hide.....go fix the problem.

If he leaves it’s because of the administration not giving him the answer he needs and thus gives him an out....which is going to chap much of the fan base and appear to be weak.

I figure he never missed a meeting to discuss this. That said....not a TCU issue. NCAA issue. Probably didn't miss an opportunity to lobby it either.

Nice but not worth $1 million a year

A&M going to the Austin regional, so that will be fun to watch
