re: So, What to do with TJ and direction of Baseball program

TJ is the safe play. We will finish bottom half of the SEC more years than not, but we won't be a consistent cellar dweller. The team won't make the tourney more years than it does make it. They will continue to play around .500 ball as TJ has done through his 14 years without Scherzer/Crowe. The team will play "ok" baseball. But that's the problem.

This move does ZERO to draw new fans or keep the fringe fans that might have just been showing some interest due to the move to the SEC and the SEC Network showing more games. The move might make sense if it was being looked at in a vacuum of just what kind of product is put on the field. But that doesn't take into consideration the unique opportunity that a new AD had to bring in a new coach that would would create a buzz and create more interest in the program. And I don't think it would have hurt the product on the field no matter who they brought in. No matter who it was, the product itself would be "ok" at a minimum.

Just a missed opportunity to take a baseball program that has been long overlooked by the AD and has very little following because of that and expand the numbers of those with interest in the program beyond the hardcore that has always followed.
