I really don't care. I was just trying to lighten the mood. I made my real name my sig b/c when I first joined this board, I'm pretty sure my firsts posts were about firing Barnes, and I didn't want to be some troll just joining to stir up $#!!. So, I put my name there.batman50 wrote:Heh Heh Heh, I like this thread. It makes me laugh.
But regardless of someone's sig, why would you continue to use someones real name like that? Maybe it's just a jab in his side with every post. I don't know "E", but using his first name when his login is different is wrong. AND it's very annoying.
My point is, we have OU Stadium b/c of the success we've had under Bianco. I know the baseball facilities probably weren't as bad before the expansion as the Tad Pad. But we've had two other coaches make the tourney with the same facilities. I DON'T CARE if it was easier back then. It is what it is and you've got to do what it takes to get in. If that means winning 25 games instead of 20, then that's what you've got to do. Don't complain b/c some else had it easier. DO YOUR JOB! Kennedy isn't.Heath wrote:I have a couple of things. First, in these discussions, can we stop comparing the baseball program and Bianco to the basketball program and Kennedy. That is comparing apples and oranges when it comes to NCAA sports. And, at Ole Miss, Bianco has a HECK OF A LOT MORE to work with than Kennedy. I mean, have you seen the Tad Pad?!?! Why not play in a toilet? And have you seen OU Stadium?!?! It is like a cathedral for college baseball! So, it's basically like saying Bianco and Kennedy are going to race cars and Bianco gets a Ferrari and Kennedy gets a Ford Escort. So, I would expect Bianco to win easily, but he's barely winning.
Next, there are only a handful of coaches in the nation who would turn down the Ole Miss job. Manieri, Tanner, Garrido, and Van Horn are about the only ones who probably would say no if Bjork came calling. I am betting someone like O'Sullivan or Corbin would LOVE to come to Ole Miss. Just my opinion.
If this group were Florida fans, we'd be screaming "FIRE O'SULLIVAN". The guy returned practically every player from last year's CWS finals team, including the best player in the nation. He has probably the best pitching staff in the nation and a beastly lineup...yet can't even win his own division. He has lost home SRs in the past and almost lost to an average 3 seed MSU team at home last year. 2 years earlier he lost to an average USM team at home in the SRs.Heath wrote:I am betting someone like O'Sullivan or Corbin would LOVE to come to Ole Miss.

Again, I'll speak slowly so MAYBE u can understand. U keep metioned AK not making it, but the 2 previous coaches did. 2 years ago, we tied state for the western divison title. We still didn't go dancing. Under our 2 previous coaches, that would've gotten us in. It's harder now than it was then to make it. Do u just not understand english, or are u so dead set on trying to sound right, u don't listen to logic. AK doesn't begin to have the advantages Bianco has. And u keep talking about where Bianco has taken us. How do u know it was him and not Dan? Facts seem to point out it was Dan, and not Mike. Yet u refuse to even consider anything other than your own objective. Most any coach would love to come here with what we have to offer, yet u don't belive so, unreal. There's not but a few that have better facilities in baseball than we do. There's not but a few the have worst facilities in basketball than we do. Is it that hard for u to understand this? And u keep mentioning Freeze. I think so far he's done a very good job. Of course, the real test comes on the field. And our new AD also seems to be doing good so far. But u keep up your agenda.lewindha wrote:My point is, we have OU Stadium b/c of the success we've had under Bianco.

Some of you are going to say Bianco isn't doing his job. Maybe he's not. But under his watch, we've seen an explosion in fan interest, new stadium expansion, and 10 out of 12 postseasons. Under Kennedy, the fan interest is almost nil. IMO, that's not just a product of not making the tourney. It's also about the style he plays and the type of PEOPLE he's bringing in.
I hope you're right about the coaches who would take the job. I will tell you this, if they fire Bianco this year or next and we don't get someone who's been to Omaha(this decade), you will NEVER hear the end of it.
And I'll say it here again. I DON'T CARE if it's harder now. I'm a web developer. A LOT of people know how to develop web sites/apps these days. No one tells me, look there's a lot of developers out there. That makes it harder to get a good job, but you take your time with that very important project we've assigned to you. The job is what it is. He's paid to get to the tournament, he's not doing it. If he's not paid to get to the tournament, then why are we paying him, we can pay someone WAY less to not make the tournament.But we've had two other coaches make the tourney with the same facilities.

But I may be ok with Corbin.
I've seen enough of him to know that he wouldn't do any better here than Bianco. Terry Rooney is the best coach in FloridaMageeRebel425 wrote: O'Sullivan went to Omaha in 2010 and 2011 so I'm not sure he makes your point...A team in his division won the CWS both years which runs from your point even further... If Mike carried us to Omaha he would buy himself 3 years easy....
mascott wrote:Alright you primates, start throwing your mud, But I agree with lewinda. Bianco DID lose a couple of games because of pitching decisions. Mosy of you posted that Godwin was going to be THE savior if/when we could get him, That hasn't happened. Our hitting has been the problem,timely hits. Bianco is a really good coach, maybe not great but still a good coach. Even if we brought N Saban here for football doesn't guarantee a winning record much less a NC. I agree I want to win every game also but a coaching change sometimes is not the answer. N. Saban didn't seem to be the answer down in Miami, admittedly it was the NFL,but still football. Bianco is a good fit and hasn't lost control of the team to warrant a change.
