It is the cutting corners, mislaying, withholding or misappropriating equipment for the team, such that bats must be shared and other apparel or equipment becomes a scarcity, when it even appears. Why? We simply do not know.

It is imposing travel hardships upon students based upon his preferences, fears, or a wish to horde cold, hard cash. Why? We simply do not know.

It is the plummeting fan attendance and season ticket sales. It is not that Alabama fans are not interested in baseball; to the contrary, we want a program to believe in and to cheer for. At the same time, we have voted with our wallets and our attendance: it is a cast-ballot that shall grow louder as we stay away in droves and revenue becomes increasingly scarce.

It is not heeding the growing bodies in which he has charge over: it is the exorbitant pitch counts on 18- and 19-year old kids (and 100+ pitch bullpen “warmups); it is ignoring their voices as to what they physically can and cannot do. Injuries can and do happen; so too can they be mitigated. He has failed to do the latter, and that represents significant potential liability to the University. Why has he done so? A divining rod would be of equal use as his press conferences.

It is the association with NCAA rules violations, particularly with respect to ensuring academic eligibility of junior college transfers. There was a pending NCAA case against Campbell University when he was hired. As a result of that investigation, last August the Committee on Infractions vacated all wins Goff’s baseball program accrued between 2010-2014. Alabama, needless to say, is one of the most scrutinized athletics programs in the country, and is a repeated monitored for missteps, real or perceived. Knowing that, how this man, who already did not have the coaching pedigree for an SEC program, was allowed to have a job at Alabama (of all places) being associated with a program with pending NCAA violations is simply mind-blowing. Moreover, how this has not triggered a for-cause termination is staggering.

Last, and perhaps worst, it is the constant threat of revoking scholarships (or actually doing so soon) based upon performance or caprice in favor of, and because of, overcommitment to recruits and junior college prospects — “his guys”: A practice as flatly prohibited as it is morally repugnant. Bearing that, keep an eye on the program over the coming days. See how many dread “violations of team rules” you see come down the pipe, and how many of these will be Mitch Gaspard recruits, despite there being no documented academic or misconduct suspensions preceding them — players like Chandler Taylor, Jake Walters, Chandler Avant. None of these students will go on record as yet. They hold out hope, perhaps vainly, that this man will do the right thing.

Kendall Rogers' article on D1 Baseball lists a bunch of good candidates for the job. One of my favorite up and coming coaches that is on the list is Greg Lovelady at Central Florida.
