lol, Floyd was more than "reliable." He was undefeated
7-0 with a 4.35 ERA is not great. The win-loss record is fine, but Floyd got bailed out of several poor starts by our great offense. In SEC play he had 5 games where he couldn’t finish five innings. He had the following stat line in those games:
3.1 innings, 5 runs
3.0 innings, 4 runs
4.2 innings, 6 runs
2.2 innings, 6 runs
3.2 innings, 3 runs
Add in a super regional start with the line of
3.1 innings, 3 runs
And in his best performance of his career, he struck out 17 Florida hitters but still gave up 3 runs and 5 hits in 8 innings of work. Compare that to Brett Laxton’s 16 strikeout, 3 hit complete game shut out in the national championship game.
Ty Floyd had great stuff, but there is more to pitching and getting outs than just having great stuff.

I don’t know if Yeskie will be better than Wes or not
Hell I’m not even sure how good of a coach Wes was. He’s very highly respected as one of the best pitching coaches in the country regardless of the level.
I also know that he had a ton of arm injuries at State, Arkansas and to a lesser degree with us.
It also seemed like the pitching approach got better once Jay started making the mound visits which made it seem Jay had removed some of Wes’s responsibilities. Did he truly though? No one knows.
It’s hard to make a judgment on Wes one way or another.
