I’d be surprised if they fire TJ. I’d be shocked if they hire AC. The current environment just won’t allow it to pass the board. Not popular, but I would pass on AC as well.

Absolutely not. Three years in and he still has a bull pen full of gut less pitchers who can not throw a strike. He’s the Captain and is responsible for this collection of garbage. In my opinion Dannen is 1 for 3 with his coaching selections in major sports. He should be held accountable as well. Jewett is buffet Bob 2

Dannen is like 1 for 5 if you add the swimming and tennis coaches. (2pt conversion from 0-6) My only concern is that I’m worried he may bring in someone worse than Jewett. Hopefully he reaches out to baseball people should he fire TJ.Aegis wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 8:21 am Absolutely not.

TJ was the wrong hire from day one when you had AC and MR available. If TJ comes back he’ll just be fired next year. He’s done a lousy job with this Regional program.

He was fired for not being forthcoming to his AD.mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 10:33 pm I’d be surprised if they fire TJ. I’d be shocked if they hire AC. The current environment just won’t allow it to pass the board. Not popular, but I would pass on AC as well.
He had a workplace affair and denied having it to his AD. The AD caught him in a lie and had no choice but to let him go. He made a bad personal decision something I’m sure many have done at some point in their life. Only his happened to be very public. Prior to that his character was impeccable. This is not a #Me too situation it was two consenting adults.
I thought he was terminated for texting the "workplace affair" non-stop from the dugout while getting swept by USM (0-11, 4-7, and 2-5), losing to TX AM - Corpus Christi (3-6) and McNeese (3-6) all in February 2018. Maybe you can "Show me" I am wrong. But the other actions are also all terminating worthy.Show Me wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 9:30 amHe was fired for not being forthcoming to his AD.mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 10:33 pm I’d be surprised if they fire TJ.

Plus, did you forget how the AC family and friends torched TD for his decision. Sometimes it is better to take the high road. I doubt TD forgot.
I would also be shocked if AC got a shot at TU anytime soon.

He told his AD he wasn’t involved with the women any longer. The AD noticed AC texting during the game. He then asked AC who was he texting. AC lied and said a coach. The AD then had the Miss St phone checked out and it showed AC was texting the lady not a coach so he got caught in a lie. That lie got him canned.McWave wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 10:27 amI thought he was terminated for texting the "workplace affair" non-stop from the dugout while getting swept by USM (0-11, 4-7, and 2-5), losing to TX AM - Corpus Christi (3-6) and McNeese (3-6) all in February 2018.

That said the pitchers ARE NOT gutless . The problem is the pitching coach who has all season been unable to coach our pitchers on how to throw strikes . It is the pitching coach who is the cancer . He must be excised .

No doubt TD can find enough reasons to keep TJ. At the same time there are at least as many reasons to fire him now. The key issue is the fact that TJ isn't going to cut it long term (probably no more than one more year)--so what's the point of dragging this out any longer?

So, AD learned about ongoing "workplace affair"
AD tries to help AC by letting AC off with a warning to stop the behavior
AC says it over but....
AC continues "workplace affair"
AD sees AC in dugout during a USM sweep texting and inquires about the phone use
AC lies to the AD (who previously tried to help him with a warning) about "workplace affair"
AD (isn't stupid) and checks ACs story (like you would a teenager)
AD calls AC into the office with his findings and fires AC for among other things lying.
Wow!!! That is worst than what I thought I thought AC just got caught and terminated. I didn't realize the AD tried to help him cover it up but AC just couldn't or would stop. Geezzz..Why wouldn't TD hire AC.
Thanks for "showing me".
AC has learned a lesson, he no longer uses the Schools phone for his "personal use'...therefore his records cannot be viewed......

You love to show off your ignorance. How many years has current pitching coach been in his role? How many years has Jewett been in his role? How long has it been since Tulane had a decent pitching staff? Answer these questions, and look at what the constant was for those three years. Your idiotic posts and our coach are what has remained the last three years, or, looking at it another way, the same three years since Ross Massey was a damned good pitcher, out pitching his brother that is 3 years older!nawlinspete wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 12:04 pm

You’ve got it correct. But it’s not any worse than anything else. The AD hired AC and many in the athletic dept knew about the affair. The lady left school and went with the FB coach to Florida. So that should have ended it. However it apparently not.McWave wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 12:49 pmI was unaware of that.Show Me wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 11:25 amHe told his AD he wasn’t involved with the women any longer.

What about Matt Deggs from Sam Houston State? A proven head coach who has Sam Houston in first place of the Southland Conference standings most years. I assume Deggs is the coach who took over for David Pierce when Pierce left Sam Houston for Tulane. We need to give this guy a serious look.

Latham is Jewett’s second pitching coach. Three years in with same results you have to put it on the skipper.nawlinspete wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 12:04 pmAgree the pitching is the problem.
