Travis Jewett Out at Tulane

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think you can probably go ahead and fire up the Hitting Coach hot board. Would be shocked if Gautreau is not the hire.

[Todd4State]

Yep. I would think he would be a good candidate to go there. Memphis is also potentially interested as well.

I think being an alum gives Tulane an advantage. Also he can be aggressive in the portal with LSU transfers. However I will say this and it will sound insane, do not count out Cannizzaro for this job. He is not as nuclear as some think.

[Skydawg1]

I could easily see Cann getting a call from Geaut if he leaves for Tulane.

[TNDawg35]

Gotro is gonna have options and if I’m Lemonis, I push him towards one or the other. I am still hearing Memphis and now Tulane are both interested.

I had been hearing some Tulane chatter for the last few weeks but I thought it might be some in Gautreau?s camp trying to pressure Memphis a bit. Seems that was not the case. Gautreau is a top candidate for them. I know Matt Riser at SELA is also in that top grouping as well.

While riser would be a solid choice - him having an off year this year probably keeps him from it

I wouldnt be heartbroken

That's shocking***

If one coach were to leave, I would prefer Foxhall. While we have "struggled" in clutch hitting, pitching has been atrocious. Matt Wyatt had a stat today that said we have given up over 300 runs this year. Tennessee for comparison has given up just over 100. I would hate to lose Gotro.

[Coach34]

GoTro is likely the new coach at Mempho or Toolame. Good for him. Now lets get a new guy.

Wonder if Cheese would get a promotion or we would look to get someone else?

[KOdawg1]

A new philosophy and approach wouldn't be the worst thing.

I think Geaut is a good coach, and I don't blame him for this season, but sometimes change can be good

Obviously will have to get a new coach no matter what. But whoever that is needs to have some experience as a MLB scout.

That's how Cann was successful in evaluating players at LSU and MSU. And also how Florida and Vanderbilt built National Championship caliber teams.

The biggest thing may be a change in recruiting philosophy. Hopefully with more speed and OBP guys to go along with the power hitters.

That in and of itself would change our approach at the plate as well- at least over time.

Lol I know right

Ethan Groff (400 hitter) and Grant Seigel (RH Weekend Starter)

Groff was a 500 hitter versus MSU. Seigel relieved Caramouche and shut down MSU for 5 innings

Come on up!

Pretty sure Groff is a senior.

Foxhall and Thackery are the two that need to go. I'd be fine if we reassign Thackery. I'm hoping that South Carolina fires Kingston and he gets the pithing coach job there. Or if Ole Miss hires Godwin that Foxhall becomes their head coach at East Carolina.

The good thing about Gautreau leaving in my mind is we could potentially go back to recruiting type players like Tanner Allen and Jake Mangum again and fewer Von Seibert's.

[Coach34]

Amen. Anybody thinking someone out of the LFL couldnt have led our pitching staff to a 6.00 ERA this season is out of their mind.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Redshirt Sophomore, perfect timing to move to the SEC for a year. The dogs need a CF and a non Dan Uggla player. Goff has a 500 OBP.

Walked 24 times Struck Out 26 times

Oh my bad. I thought the scoreboard at Tulane said he was a senior. Yeah. Then he's definitely a take for me if he enters the portal. Good player.

Hilarious! I got an image in my head of some dude making a pitching change while eating some ribs while wearing a National Champs t-shirt, shorts, and a floppy hat with a cowbell in their back pocket.

#bulldogbruceforhittingcoach

He's on that other msg board.

But the guy knows hitting. Not sure if he can effectively coach it or not.

I wonder Does he live up there where he's from (NY/Long Island) or did he stay down south?

[Cowbell]

Base you are close to the situation / what the heck is going on?

I was thinking he was in the Carolinas somewhere but I may be totally off base. He's a good dude. Wish he would stop by here sometimes.

[DownwardDawg]

I wouldnt be heartbroken

I'm with you.

[Cooterpoot]

Y'all remember last year when I got beat the hell up for saying Foxhall sucked? I do. LOL
I don't really have an issue with Gotro, but if he leaves, oh well.

[basedog]

Base you are close to the situation / what the heck is going on?

Our staff has made mistakes, but no way it's as bad as folks think. Coaches don't forget how to Coach fundamentals, but Coaches can get "soft" or "lazy" and even burn out. You can't always teach pitchers to throw strikes or have great movement on pitches, same with hitting, some will never be .300 hitters or even make enough contact. In saying this, recruiting isn't as good as we hoped or thought, we have some talent but it's scattered and some players just haven't improved for whatever the reason.
But in reality, injuries to our pitching staff is the major problem, it isn't Foxhall, it's only so much he can do and players have to be able to make adjustments. But it is a mystery about "take him out, leave him in", but name one reliever we can trust to shut the other team down or limit the damage? We ain't got guy those guys.
Also, I don't talk to any family members any longer about baseball, what is said in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse. I'm not saying changes shouldn't or wouldn't be made, but if we had a healthy staff we would be in a regional somewhere. We lost some close games this year, pretty simple, lack of clutch hitting, lack of a true reliever or two, and of course some bad coaching decisions. But "that's baseball"**

Groff has really good numbers. I have no clue if he would transfer but he would be one of the top targets if he decided to go that route.

Avg: .404
OBP: .503

Has that to go along with 9 HR and 35 RBIs. Could be a Rowdey clone at the top of the lineup for us.

It has more legs than you may think. As I said he is not as nuclear as some on this board would have you believe. Nowhere in there did I say he was the favorite. There comes a point where a school decides that they want to win, and they will sacrifice the PR s***storm for a few weeks to do that. Tulane is at that point. They are desperate to win and say what you want about Cannizzaro but the guy wins. And honestly, that is all that truly matters.

Again I think it will be Gautreau, but if they make it past their first group of names suddenly Cannizzaro starts looking pretty good.

Gautreau should call this kid immediately through the network. CF stardom in the SEC. Just on tuition alone, the kid parents make $20K going from Tulane to MSU-In State tuition.

Cann would have Tulane as a Top-15 school in 3 or 4 years. He would rake top recruits from New Jersey and Massachusetts. With little attention and media scrutiny in New Orleans. He can go caveman on the Tourist girls of French Quarter. Cann is a legit "Elite Recruiter" and "Evaluator of Talent".

If not for his weakness with females, he would be at Mississippi State racing to title #2. He would have 2 other Tanner Allen kids in the lineup and 2 other Landon Sims.

Not saying that Tulane will do it, but he would be excellent for them.

He was let go by a high school on the eve of the playoffs. No clue what the deal is there, but that's got to be another huge red flag for anybody considering him. And at an all boys school, so it's not like he's schticking one of the cheerleaders. Even with presumably very little distraction at his place of employment, he managed to get them to fire him without even letting him coach the playoffs.

One thing that led to his removal was a bench clearing brawl they had with another team. Heard that was the "final straw".

He also had a faction of parents against him for not playing their kids, who were seniors. They were looking for a reason to get rid of him and the brawl gave them the cover to do it.

Yeah, it doesnt take much to lose a HS job...lol...I can assure you. Know one guy that lost one for being a Trump supporter

My high school baseball coach lost his job because he cut a school board member?s kid along with a few others in that circle of friends

That wouldn't be concerning (it's not great, but that's not necessarily a coaching failure; shit happens), but I'd be extremely interested in what the prior straws were. Granted, as you said, it doesn't take much to get crossed up with administration and high school politics. There are often families you just have to keep happy, especially at private school (our high school's baseball coach started the big donor's kid at first base when he just was not good and at the time I thought it was pretty sorry and felt bad for his back up, whose family also had money but not "defrauded the government and got away with it money", but now I recognize it as just common sense on the coaches part). But his past doesn't do him any favors when people trying to fill in the blanks on the high school firing.
