re: SEC baseball coaches with warm seats

He had a losing record in the SEC in 8 of his last 10 seasons (32 games below .500) and made the NCAA tourney 3 times. Sure, he got Tennessee to Omaha but the luck he had of sucking for 3 years and then making it to Omaha in the 4th year had run its course.

Maybe it's time to accept Tennessee baseball was never as good before or after Delmonico. No he wasn't a great coach, but he's had far more success than his predecessors or coaches hired since his firing. Tennessee has basically been a college baseball graveyard, and regardless of how much he let what he built slip, his worst seasons didn't even compare to how bad UT has been since.

Speaking of Delmonico not being hired since (which is actually false, he was a paid assistant at FIU for a couple years), you know what Todd Raleigh is doing now? He runs a training facility. I also wonder how marketable Serrano will be after this failure. I'll admit, I thought he was a great hire for UT at the time, as did most people.
