    There is PROCESS and there are RESULTS. Anyone with a minor understanding of correlation/causation should get this. Understanding the mathematical facts of randomness in all things.

    The question isn?t about a half seasons results, as great as they are. Randomness and talent had us an at bat away from 2 and Q. Did the will of Gary Henderson win that game? Unlikely. We had a great run but how repeatable was it?

    We?ve all seen Gary?s DECISIONS this year especially when it comes to pitching management. Decisions are in your control, results mostly are not. Baseball is a random game, that?s why it has the most games played in a season and also the smallest difference between the best and worst teams. In football you have undefeated teams and also winless teams. Not the nature of baseball. The fact of the matter is you could put most of us in Henderson?s role and win some games just by simply filling a lineup card out. We would have much less a shot on the football field as Joe Schmo fan.

    You have a body of work over a decade saying Henderson cannot host regularly which is what is demanded. His body of work is a disqualifier, bottom line, for this program. Sorry to the average fan that tunes in once postseason begins, sorry to the women and their feels, sorry to the media, but it would be disastrous for where we want to be as a program.
    Number of times Kentucky has hosted in their entire program history? Well they've only been to a regional 7 times in the last 30 years. So less than 25% of the time. Saying that Gary sucks because he didn't take UK to regionals consistently would be like getting pissed at Mullen because we didn't make NY6 bowls consistently under him.

    I don't think people realize the following two things:

    1) Being good doesn't mean you compete for titles. You can be a really good coach and maintain reasonable success at a program that doesn't normally have success.

    2) Cohen left Henderson with shit his first two years. Henderson took that program from the gutter and maintained that program in a time when SC, Vandy, and UF all won titles. He developed talent and has 5 guys on an MLB roster right now.

    Henderson is getting shit on here and it's just ridiculous. I don't understand it. He didn't make regionals consistently at a school that doesn't make regionals consistently. Big shocker. Doesn't mean he's a bad coach. You can't run a mediocre program into the ground by continuing to be mediocre. We could do much worse than Henderson. We can do better but we could definitely do worse.
