Fire Kingston NOW

Sc was 2 wins away from the cws last year.. they got a terrible draw vs uf..

I'm not ready for that level of disdain yet. Let's see how this season pans out.

This is South Carolina baseball where we are one of the elites. Kingston hasn't done squat and has been here plenty of time. Hell Holbrooks recruiting was even better than Kingston. How many years you want to give him to dig the program into a deeper hole

I mean...I think I could go either way. If they fire him then please don't just give Monte the job. If they keep him then I do truly believe the hitting can turn around this season. That last game vs OM was a damn good game by us, and the first game was too. Game 2 was good until it got away in the 8th.

Clemson who took two close games against us, just took 2 of 3 vs #6 Duke at Duke. We don't have the big wins yet, and they need to come soon, but we also have competed well despite not playing anywhere close to our best.

I'll give credit to Kingston for this weekend though it hasn't changed my mind

It just bugs me a little that when we win...fans refuse to give him credit, and even say we won despite Kingston..then when we lose it is completely his fault.


atleast you gave him credit.

How much time are the " give Kingston time" fans willing to watch, our once elite program, fall further and further behind. Our play is extremely inconsistent and our recruiting is worse than it's ever been. Hoping it gets better is a joke.

I mean...we are 5-4 in conference. On pace for 15-12 going into the last series. Thats in line for a host spot. The SEC is far better now than it was during Tanners time, and winning on the road is hard.

Against top 16 (because that is where Bama is) we are 4-4. (top 5 Clemson 0-2, #3 Vandy 3-0, Bama 1-2). We made a super regional last year, and I still maintain the post season will determine Kingston's future. Tanner used to say, Win your series at home, and don't get swept on the road and you will be fine.


in SEC play from 04 to 09 Tanner in SEC play won 17,16,15,17,15,17 in conference. So it's not like Ray was always winning the SEC in the regular season, and we hosted in those 3 of those 6 years.

I know I am making an extensive case for a guy who has not had a ton of post season success, but I just think it's not productive to be yelling "Fire Kingston" after every loss. I want to see how this team continues to play

We aren't talking about a new coach the man has been here 7 years and we haven't sniffed that city in Nebraska once . His recruiting classes are the worst SC has had in decades but let's " see how it plays out".

I mean I stand by what I said. It was loud after OM, then we sweep Vandy (winning 6 in a row along the way) and it was quiet. We dropped the first game against Bama and the fire Kingston crowd got real loud. It's hard to demand perfection in baseball. This team is really talented, more talented that any holbrook squad imo. I want to see it play out.
