We heard all the optimism about football when Miles was coaching but in the end, his tendencies and bad habits won out. Just because you wish something or talk optimistically about anything doesn't man it will happen. You have your theories about how this season will play out and it may happen but I have 8 years of Paul letting us down in the post season to back me up. I have 8 years of piss poor pitcher management, cold bats in the post season and season ending losses Houston, Stony Brook and etc. It's not that we lose in the post season, it's that other teams are more consistent and look far better than us when the season is on the line.
Explain that to me and what Paul has done to change it. Then I may buy in your your carefree optimism simply because you wished it.

In the end, Paul will go down just like Miles. He will even have his blind followers supporting him and saying we are crazy, who is better and etc. just like Les.

No change = same results

This is such a lazy argument. If Les had had the same success CPM has had the last five years he would not have been fired last year.

Also since people discount everything CPM has done the last five regular seasons you can't judge this season until after the season is over. Way too many melts on her after regular season games from a bunch of people that say the regular season doesn't matter. It's what you do in the postseason.

Why do people keep comparing a baseball coach to a football coach? I don't get this at all. We aren't losing games b/c CPM's in-game decisions. It's not like CPM's offensive philosophy is holding this team back. I really think this team's struggles are mental and they have the ability to beat anyone. Bottom line is there are a lot of games left and this team CAN make a run. It's getting more unlikely but still possible. The pieces are there.

Our goal is to win championships.

On paper, since our championship, I see a lot of parity and bunch of similar resumes.

Our recent success coupled with past dominance & total attendance figures still makes our program the best in the country with no drop-off in sight despite the parity in college baseball.

LSU, 2009 champs
One missed tournament, 3 total CWS appearances,

South Carolina, 2010-2011 Champs
Has not made the CWS since Tanner took over as AD in 2012

Arizona, 2012 champs
2 CWS appearances since last LSU championship, missed the tournament 3 of last 4 years

UCLA, 2013 champs
Only 1 tournament appearance since championship

Vanderbilt, 2014 champs
Zero missed tournaments since 2005. 3 CWS appearances

Virginia, 2015 champs
Zero missed tournaments since 2003, 4 CWS appearances

Coastal Caroline, 2016 champs
Zero msised tournaments since 2009, 1 CWS appearance

With all that being said, we are still on top of the college baseball world, and it would be absurd to fire our coach.
