Stricklin out in Athens.
Was about to post this. 10 seasons, 3 NCAA tourneys. Finished 29-27 this season. But finished ahead of State in SEC, made Hoover. Early exit. I guess making Hoover don?t men much, other then now it is the only way to get to a regional whereas before, certain teams made a regional without going to Hoover if they had a good overall record and finished at least 12-17 in conference.
I guess mediocre ain?t good enough for a club sport in Athens.
Meanwhile below mediocre is just fine and dandy here.
People forget that they were a Top 8 seed in 2018 and 2019. And probably would’ve been one in 2020 if not for COVID. He had a few years with some unreal arms on his staff. But didn’t do a ton with them and otherwise did absolutely nothing in his decade there. He’s the coach that took Kent State to Omaha so he doesn’t suck. Just didn’t do enough there over a decade.
We will end up needing a coach and Haire will be gone. I will want to slam my in a door.
Georgia fired a guy that made the NCAA Tourney 3 times in 10 years?
Seems like they were pretty patient with him and realize you cant make decisions based on 1 or 2 seasons
Actually, they gave him some patience early on, but now they have a much quicker hook than us.

Note that none of his 10 seasons were as bad as Lemonis in 2022-23.
Meh- Lemon was 4 wins away from making the NCAA Tourney this season. We arent that far off.
Fix the pitching
Can I insert a comma here and add: "fix the defense, especially left side of the infield, fix the fundamentals, fix the TERRIBLE decision-making, a la pitching to a power hitter who has already hit two dingers out of the park and accounted for every one of the opponents runs whilst having a base open. How about bunting a crucial runner over to 2nd base when your best bunter is at bat. How about teaching outfield fundamentals so that our outfielders aren't running into each other like the Bad News Bears multiple times in one game." I think this is enough for starters.
That might be the WORST argument ever. He went to 3 regionals in ten years. Not going again this year. Yet comparing to our deal?? Everyone can make a case for firing lem. I get it. But this is apples and grapes.... Next time don't hit send. Just awful comparison
