Was it his recruiting or could he not get a decent hitting coach?

I know y’all were happy to get rid of him so just trying to figure it out.

Yes. Recruited too many kids that went to MLB and pissed off the next level of kids. Hitting coach was hit or miss over his stint but more often we lacked the hitting to make it to Omaha.

Recruiting was his downfall. Developed a reputation for not being a good place for hitters, and that created a feedback loop that ultimately brought him down. He's a very good pitching coach. I'm not sure how much he will contribute to recruiting, other than his reputation as a pitching coach will be a plus for recruiting pitchers. He did not do a good job building relationships with the Houston area select baseball fraternity.
