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.

MSU, Ole Miss, AU and Bama coaches should not be measured against the rest. The playing field is not even.

In the end it doesn't really matter as there is very little interest in UT baseball. Serrano's unwatchable brand of baseball has only made things worse. I have tried to get in to it, attend games, etc. and I know LSU fans love it but college baseball is close to an unwatchable sport in its current state imo. Even the CWS is terrible in the new park.
I would rather watch a AA game 10 times out of 10.
