It’s time for a new baseball coach

Why would anyone with a brain think of running off any coach, WHO LIVES IN THE TOP 10? C’mon man, that’s just stupid. Nice try on the spin though. Nebraska baseball, isn’t in the top 50.

Weren't we ranked at the start of the year?

Yeah, I know what happened afterward. But still, it shows there's some national respect. Texas A&M says hi.

HIO, please give this topic a rest. Drop it. In fact, I'm requesting the mods lock this thread as it has run it's course. Of course the team, the coaching staff have things to work on. Discuss those topics, fair game. Your constant badgering trying to convince everybody it's time to fire a coach is really a drag. Especially a coach who has won the BIG tourney twice in a row and has been getting us to regionals on a fairly regular basis.
What are your qualifications, or your resume that would convince any of us that we should all agree with you? We have an athletic director who makes those kind of huge decisions.
In any sport Nebraska is involved in, firing the coach is NOT always the quick answer for everything.

This thread has not run its course. The Will Bolt error... or, uh, era... has run its course.

I didn't have to spin anything. Just admit you made a terrible analogy. You said you have to try to replace someone who is only wining the "nice" conference championships. I'm pretty sure 20+ years without a meaningful championship by your definition would qualify as maintaining the status quo for more than a few years.

Tom won the Big 8 in year 5, and his teams lived in the top 5-10, every year mostly. If Tom had caught a few breaks, he’d have won the title in 1978, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1993, and 1996. He was that close to 9, NINE. Far more factors than that involved. Nebraska baseball, frankly sucks. If they were an improving type of team, lots of momentum, intangibles, I’d think differently. They have none of that. This current program, is flatlined, stale, and going nowhere in a hurry. Bolt is gaining on nothing.

I will try not to be mean…and it may sound this way but it’s not really meant that way.

Just a method I use….

When I run into folks on HuskerMax that just irritate me to no end with their posts.

And I'm not talking about disagreements…if the person has decent logic…states his side clearly…heck, I’m fine with that. There are a bunch of guys in this thread that I just disagree with…… doesn’t mean I don’t like them or that I don’t respect them.

My wife of 44 years disagrees with me constantly and sometimes she wins me over to her side of the argument.

But there are some folks that are just far beyond that (to me) …..not using any logic, common sense, empathy or reason in their posts.

Which is totally fine…free country.

Buuuuut I don’t have to listen to them.

And the forum provides a wonderful less advertised tool.

The “Ignore” button which I have employed in this thread. So I have absolutely no idea what a certain person has said.

And I am totally fine with that. And they are probably totally fine with me not listening….and are welcome to do the same to me.

So…everybody happy. And solid discourse can continue….better.

I like happy. I wasted too much of my life being unhappy…… that ain’t happening again.
 
What even are the expectations for Nebraska baseball? They have clearly changed since the move to the Big 10. I don’t think anyone really understands what the actual expectations are. Men’s basketball is in the same boat. Those two sports have been stuck in a purgatory of mediocrity for quite some time now. Neither the athletic department or the fan base cares enough to set expectations and hold programs and coaches accountable. My guess is both programs will continue down the same path until someone demands better.

I’m fine with Bolt coming back next year. He won the Big 10 tournament again. I just think he’s maxed out here. If we were to go the analytical and developmental route, I don’t think Bolt would be the coach for that. I think the only way we can maximize Bolt here is to buy better players. Is the ROI even there for that?
