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

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.

He's really doing no better than Sumlin did.

Compliments of a very weak OOC schedule but he still needs to win two of @ South Carolina, @ AUburn, @ Alabama, LSU (Kyle Field) and whatever Bowl opponent they get to win 10. Definitely doable but not exactly easy depending on how South Carolina plays and who their bowl opponent is.

Again, no better than Sumlin.

This is the thing that makes all the fire Pawl crap so ridiculous. This isn't the Skip Bertman era of NCAA Baseball. Parity in college baseball is as good as it's ever been, to the detriment of traditional powerhouses like LSU.
The current draft system for baseball is getting more and more college player heavy because the system set up makes that a less risky possibility for MLB teams. That equates to better players throughout the NCAA and Tittle IX means baseball scholarships are limited. Here is an article from 2012 on that very subject.

quote:
Every year, head coach Paul Mainieri scurries around the country to offer preps a fraction of a free ride. So it's not surprising to hear that he would like more scholarships. "I don't know that I've ever had a player receive a scholarship in the amount which was commensurate to his value," he recently told the LSU student newspaper, The Daily Reveille. "It's sad, really, that college baseball is treated that way."
Who do we put the blame on? Let's ask the man himself, Skip Bertman.
quote:
Skip Bertman, who coached baseball at LSU from 1984 to 2001, then built the school into a sports powerhouse as athletic director from 2001-08, believes he knows where to put the blame. "I think," Bertman said in March, "baseball is pretty much a victim of Title IX."

Fisher left FSU as a dumpster fire. He has far under achieved relative to expectations so far at TAM..
That being said they have 9 easy games and 3 difficult games this year.
He has supposedly recruited better. They were really really bad in Baton Rouge last year.
What ever. TAM has the most financial resources of anyone in the SEC. they are in the number 2 or 3 state for high school football. It would take a pretty bad showing to not construct a program that was turning out 9 and 10 wins a year.
Again the bonehead took over an FSU that had won 9 or 10 games per year for decades. In a very easy conference. And turned it into a disaster. So who knows.
