I think he’s good not great. Hard to look at the development of guys like Talley and McGovern over 4 years and not see something to the coaching aspect. Bringing on good assistants, too, is a part of his job and he has been doing well in that respect.
As for him being a-hole, he absolutely is but I fail to see that as some major flaw. Most baseball coaches I’ve known over the years are total assholes but that doesn’t mean they’re bad coaches. In fact, some of the biggest jerks made some of the best coaches because they weren’t worried about hurting feelings so much as keeping players honest and accountable for their individual development and commitment to the guys around them. Travel ball coaches don’t have to like him but the results speak for themselves; he’s winning and guys are developing into better players.
Fire Stricklin.

When he recruits someone very close to you for three years, tells them they have a full ride to UGA for three years, then 2 days before recruit can officially sign with UGA, Stricklin calls said recruit on a Sunday morning and tells the same recruit that he’s been having a man crush on since the kid was a sophomore, hey we found someone else we like better, you can be a walk on. This kid was highly recruited by several other SEC schools. By the time Stricklin told him that they were not going to stand by what they promised, all the other teams that were interested had already filled their rosters. Anyway, my personal interactions with the guy are not good. I graduated from Georgia and pull for the players, but the day Stricklin is gone, I will be celebrating

Let's just call it like it is, if he wasn't winning everyone would still hate him. He has turned it around it seems so now he gets more leeway.
Hell the one poster from SW ga that knew players and said they were planning a munity doesn't even post anymore.
If he starts to lose ppl will call him a irredeemable jackass and want him fired again.
