Georgia intentionally hiring bums because they don’t care about baseball and everyone here is talking about them like they’re the ‘27 Yankees like they don’t have UF, USCe, UTenn, & Vandy in their own division.

I won’t be a douchebag like that dude. Southern Miss head coach is retiring and promoted their pitching coach.


Ok I didn't know that thanks, I just know Christian Ostrander was a solid pitching coach...

I can’t imagine the reaction had we lost this regional, had a bad pitching effort, then this leaked.

We going to be a 1 and done pitching coach school? Sheesh. I thought for sure he'd at least be here 2 years.

UGA baseball doesn’t scare anybody


Tennessee didn't scare anyone until Vitello got there

Vandy didn't scare anyone until Corbin got there

Arkansas didn't scare anyone until Van Horn got there

and so on. No one firing their coach scares anyone until they hire a good coach who starts recruiting well and winning. Georgia has all the resources to be good if they invest. They just never have.

So did Vitello at a much more difficult place to recruit baseball players.


And he had the best team in the country by far last year and didn’t even make it to Omaha.

Wes is a friend of mine from way back so I'm certainly not going to trash him. It's obvious though that him and JJ were having issues because JJ has been making almost all the mound visits for the last few weeks. Wes looks frustrated in the dugout. I have thoughts about JJ's staff handling style but will leave that out.

They will be recruiting against better programs in Florida and South Carolina. FSU and Clemson are no bums. Then toss in Coastal Carolina.


Florida doesn't leave Florida. Florida State barely does.

Coastal Carolina doesn't recruit atlanta.

South Carolina is all in on the portal and the Carolinas and Clemson is going north under Bakich. They don't dip into atlanta all that much.

And it doesn't matter, there are a million guys there.

Tennessee is actually the threat in Atlanta if they want to be, but they focus more on their own state and taking guys Vandy wants.

What's your point? That because he didn't make it to Omaha last year that he hasn't completely turned that program around?

Not sure you know what lateral move means


It means being the pitching coach at LSU and doing a good job should get you a better job than one that doesn’t care about baseball

Is that why the pitching staff has been pitching so much better recently?

This thread has a ton of stupid in it.

Maybe that’s why the pitching all of a sudden looks like they can get outs

Kendall Rogers just tweeted that they were unwilling to spend for a sitting head coach.

They settled for a journeyman pitching coach. It’s not a slight to Wes because I think he’s really good. But this isn’t a landscape shifting process or hire.
