I love these big gets at key coaching positions, but gah… can we keep one for more than one to two seasons? It’s a blessing and a curse. Hopefully, Wes enjoys success by recruiting his own roster and not raiding ours too.

I mean Skenes and Edwards got significantly better. I’d argue Money and Floyd took big steps too.

Our pitching has really come on late, and has even carried us some. Without injuries to Taylor, Noot, Shores and Edwards this is easily a top 5 pitching staff in the country.

Thought the same until I saw Skenes post game interview last week and he said Johnson helped him a ton this year with technique, etc.

I honestly think that Johnson brought a lot. I think it takes years to develop players, but we can never see a full product with the patchwork coaching gigs.

Well, according to Skenes, he is a big reason he improved so much this year. But what the hell would he know about it.

Yea I mean truly they are. There is literally one guy who gets the ball every play of a baseball game and that’s the pitcher. A premium should be put on these coaches.

Nothing much. He made Skenes the best amateur pitcher in baseball, and has our bull pen peaking in the post season. But yeah…. I’m so glad he took the UGa job. Good riddance!
