That would be a discussion to be had, but in your hypothetical, how many SEC titles? How many playoff wins? Everything I gave you was actuality and not hypothetical.
I mean what if Deifel and Baldwin and Weekly and Gajewski all make the WCWS this year and Beth doesn’t? Are they now better than Beth in your mind?
What if Ford makes the next three WCWS? Is she better than Beth in your mind?
We can go on and on like this….Lets just deal in the current facts because that’s the only certainty.
And the fact is that as of this moment, she has done nothing of note in the last 8 years and has no reason to be retained. That being said, If and that’s a huge if, they beat Bama this weekend then a discussion can be had about extending because she will have improved and I won’t have a problem with it. But shes gotta perform better than she’s been performing. If not, I have no problem with her being shown the door. And anyone who doesn’t expect at least that should be ashamed for accepting mediocrity and not demanding more.

You obviously care less about any titles!!

Once every 8 or 9 years would be great.
Expectation should be every 4-5 years. What about you?

It depends on who you listen to. If you listen to the ones who say we’ve improved in the later part of the season because we beat the SEC bottom dwellers, then maybe we have a shot but in reality when we play someone with a pulse we revert to the same old, same old . Pitching falls apart, cant hit etc, etc.
I thought the regional would give me more hope but watching how the ACC performed, that hope was dashed some.
Here’s to hoping I’m wrong

Yes that team that finished 14th out of 15 teams, that won’t make it to a regional but hey, they did beat A&M. I’ll put that in the moral victory column. I guess anything really can be sugarcoated and look yummy through purple glasses.

Why would we have to pay more for a better coach? I’m sure Gasso, Walton, Murphy, Perez all didn’t commanded enormous salaries when they were hired at their respective schools. I’d be willing to bet we could get better for cheaper just maybe not proven. Really, what had Beth proved before we hired her? She could win at a mid? There’s plenty out there like that. Some of yall should up your expectations for all sports.

The Oklahoma Sooners softball program achieved a major financial milestone in FY2024, reporting $4.1 million in revenue, driven by a 37% surge related to the opening of Love's Field. Ticket sales alone exceeded $2.6 million, surpassing combined revenue for men’s and women’s basketball at the university.

Amazing what making an investment in a championship program earns.

How much revenue does women’s basketball produce? We had no problem going after the big fish there…..if it’s all about revenue. And the ROI is only correct if that is what the expectation of the job is. If the product that is being put out is what is expected, then maybe we need newer than the new AD that we have. And don’t say that the new AD is killing it because the new hires haven’t accomplished anything yet….Im very hopeful that they do though.

Salaries are what they are, negotiations between employee and employer. It doesn’t matter if you’re the highest paid employee or lowest, your job expectations don’t change. She ain’t meeting the typical fans expectations. The problem may be that she is meeting the employers expectations.
It does make for interesting conversations.
