    USC BASEBALL - SPEECHLESS TO SAY THE LEAST

    Read my post again - I said, "...the Jimmies and Joes mattered more than the Xs and Os". So, the talent mattered more than coaching. The remark about Spurrier was independent of his succes here. I said, "he can". He was/is an exceptional talent who can "outcoach" (scheme) most others on the fly...

    Anyone who has been around sports more than a minute knows there's no such thing as "a sure thing" when hiring a coach. Some seem more certain than others but there is always the chance for a dumpster fire (along with successes that exceed expectations). What wasn't mentioned were the...

    USC BASEBALL - SPEECHLESS TO SAY THE LEAST

    Agreed. I've always thought the Jimmies and Joes mattered more than the Xs and Os. There are very few like Spurrier who can simply outscheme others, almost regardless of talent. How many think Whammy Ward was a defensive guru who simply forgot how to coach after 2013 and has had amnesia ever since?

    USC BASEBALL - SPEECHLESS TO SAY THE LEAST

    So, who thinks Ray in his prime would have coached this group to a Super this year? And if so, would you bet your mother's life on it? Players matter. Just ask Spurrier what he learned about that in 2014. You can only do so much with the material you have to work with.

    Baseball Coach Search

    The math ain't mathin' - 543 games as a college HC in 4 years is about 135 games/year. :unsure:

    Drunk midget

    Last I heard he was the AD at USC for several years and is now some sort of special advisor to the school. But hey, it's cyclical, so who knows how long this gig will last.

    Funny. They made it look all too easy. But hey, there's a chance to get to lucky number 13! (y)

    I was wrong

    And I can admit it. My prediction for USC's conference record was 10-20 and they obviously missed that, going 7-23. But never let it be said that I'm not an optimist! :D

    Peaking at the right time

    Overall team hitting for the last four games - Winthrop - .156 Vandy 1 - .129 Vandy 2 - .265 Vandy 3 - .133 Hopefully, they have the pitching rotation sorted the way they want going into the SECT. If they do, that's the good news. The bad news is every pitcher is going to have to throw a...

    Get up and move...............................................

    I'm saving that for the next time they win a baseball game. I figure I've got plenty of time to practice my moves. 😁
