I feel like the opposite is true. She gets great recruits and then squanders their talent. As a former pitcher, her pitchers have been mediocre. Their offense was a little improved last year, but overall they generally under perform at the plate. The decline of the softball program has been gradual, but consistent.

I have to say there’s some merit here. A lot of recruiting gurus—not just message board hacks—thought Maci Bergeron’s hitting would vault this team up into contender status. Unfortunately Maci is another highly regarded hitter who has been Dobson-ized and is benched and struggling.
One positive: Hannah Carson returns from injury and should provide some veteran leadership.
One negative: that idiot is still the “face” of the program.
But yeah, if it was up to me, Beth makes OKC this year with a handful of vets in their fifth year or it’s time to pull the plug.

Thanks for the insight. She hasn’t won a single conference championship in what 12 or 13 seasons? And it’s been years since she took us to the WCWS. As you said, the decline has been consistent. There are many who say she isn’t going anywhere but I can’t understand that when we aren’t even competing for championships, conference or national. Seems unlike the model Woodward is trying to establish among coaches.
