Why should we have faith in Woodward making the right move with Pawl?

For all the hype that Woodward had when he was hired, he has done absolutely nothing thus far.

The Box is worse than ever and it’s pretty clear Paul is simply collecting a paycheck at this point. There is not an ounce of enthusiasm within that program.

What has Woodward done to give us confidence that he’ll not only rid us of Mainieri but will find the best young coach in the country?

I’m afraid I don’t share the confidence in Woodward that many of you seem to possess.

Woodward is a weathervane political type.

Did you expect him to walk in the door, fire every coach, and then start over? What exactly are you expecting?

What changes did you expect him to make to the baseball stadium year one? What are you expecting from Paul this year?

He hasn't done anything at all to this point. Maybe he will do great things, but there's nothing so far to suggest he will, beyond the hopes and expectations of fans.

Woodward has shown at other programs that he isn't afraid to do whatever it costs to go out and get the best for his program. Chris Peterson was probably the best hire in the PAC 12 in the last decade, and whether this board wants to admit it, Jimbo Fisher is doing just fine at A&M right now. He should reach 10+ wins next season, but for now he's on a good pace there.


What exactly did you want Woodward to do to this point? O was already hired, and Maineri got the Joe Alleva special with a ridiculous contract raise and extension. Was Woodward supposed to fire pawl after going to a super regional?


Woodward knows the SEC and knows Alex Box is a far cry from the class of the conference. I'd imagine he's looking into possible improvements. For now his priority is fundraising for Will Goat Wade's facility promises which SHOULD be priority.

Our baseball program is profitable but barely. We are not going to hand over millions to PAWL, even if this season is a disaster. But the seat is officially scalding if he really does that poorly this year.

Well, for starters, he’s not Joe Alleva.

I’m sorry, but that’s in the plus column for him already. CPM would’ve already bent Alleva over for a raise and an extension thru 2035 after losing to Nicholls.

People act like Woodward is a God around here but I haven't been all that impressed so far.



At least he isn't Alleva

Dude, I get so tired of this shite! I know for a fact that Skip Bertman would have more pull in the coaching search mainly because Woodward wold ca Skip first to ask what he thought

All he needs to do is make the trip to Lafayette and hire Deggs.

We don’t even know what the right move is. You don’t either so it doesn’t really matter whether you have faith in Woodward or not.

All hat and no cattle. Small Pawl will be around forever, just like Miles. I hope all the Pawl slurpers enjoy!! Our baseball program is done until complete changes are made.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

I’ve been ridiculed for saying this before, but it feels like now my words might be received a little differently so I’ll try again.

Paul really really needs to make it to Omaha this year. If he underachieves yet again, then you’re gonna find out just how capable Woodward is ok?

Bookmark it, downvote it, insult me, do whatever makes you feel better, but remember it.

Finally people are waking up. Paul is just a tweaker and hard arse. We need a motivator and teacher. There are some awesome young coaches out there.

Why is it every 5 minutes some a-hole feels compelled to start a thread questioning why we should have faith in Woodward?

It will set the tone for his tenure as he attempts to put his stamp on the program. He’s a big check writer and the youngest bestest in the country must be found and captured.

Dude got hired just before football season first of all. Second, PM is not a bad coach lol. It's baseball. It's mental, the dude can't make players perform. I think he puts his players in a situation to where they can compete, and that's really all you can ask for, besides development. Which he has developed some great ball players, if he hasn't, then why does top notch players keep showing up on campus? Because they know what he can do. We just won a Natty in football and brought in hella cash. After this year, I'm sure he will have alot of things upgraded just for you.
