That’s because the apologists here accept mediocrity and/or fear change. They’re comfortable with what we have and fear that change could give us worse results. While there is a chance it could produce worse results, it could also improve. Sometimes change is needed, good or bad and you have to work your way through it. I couldn’t stand Les and wanted him gone long before most. When he was finally fired, I did not think O was the right man for the job but knew change was needed. Look at LSU football now! LSU baseball needs new blood in the coaching staff. We may not get it right the first time but we will know within 3 years. It’s better than 3 years of being just good enough and never winning a title.

You’ve got a handful of guys whose primary passion seems to be baseball and they see themselves as more knowledgeable than people who strongly support other sports as well as baseball.

They think you can’t possibly be as knowledgeable about baseball as they are bc you also follow other sports. It’s a very cliquish little group.

That’s the reason for the divide in this particular case. They don’t receive opinions of “outsiders” bc they see themselves as experts while the rest of us are “sidewalk fans” even though some of us may have actually played college baseball.

If you don’t attend scrimmages or pay to hear Mainieri speak then your opinion is baseless bc you simply don’t understand the strategy of a long season and the nuances of in game management.
