Personally I feel we underachieve in baseball more than football. If we don’t have the money available to go after a bigger name and only can go for mid major types then I guess I agree with you, I just feel like it’s unlikely we hire someone and fall completely off. I don’t see a ton of risk in making a change at this point.

We are smack dab in the middle of probably the third best recruiting area in the country (behind south FL and southern CA) pour tons of resources into our program, and are one of a pretty small number of schools that do so and have a fanbase that truly gives a shite about baseball. I realize it’s made harder by the conference we play in, I just see years where we are on the fence for a regional as a pretty massive failure. We have been poor at developing position player talent for all of RCs tenure and he has never shown signs of improving. Maybe the new hitting coach is the answer and we will start to see some results as the year goes on

Also the NCAA baseball tournament is generally random as hell so I don’t want to make it seem like I’m wholly judging him on those failures. How many years have we felt like we had the talent to be an elite team/true national title contender? 2011, 2012, 2016, we were preseason number one in 09 but I don’t think that team had the talent those other 3 had.

To me you need to stack elite teams as often as possible and let the chips fall where they may when the postseason rolls around. IMO we don’t do that enough right now
