Time will tell people. Sexton has backed himself in a dark windowless corner. If he doesn't make a very wise choice while getting quick huge success, he will be the new AD for BuCo JuCo.

Will Sexton reduce the pay to MSU levels?
What's the clown's vision for the baseball program? To be Valley competitive?

Originally posted by SB Shock View PostBull S.... Convenient excuse for the Gene excuse makers.
All the attendance trends have been in a free fall including season tickets sales (which are not affected by weather)
WSU RPI - 103 (one of the worst in history)
WSU SOS - 125 (very poor home schedule)
18-19 Losing Non-Conference Record
19-14 home record (which is one of the worst in history)
The excuse makers are popular for saying "38 wins" - how can you fire him. It only took 66 tries to get 38 wins. That is 58% winning pct - 2nd WORST in the Gene Stephenson era. His worst came just a couple years ago.
0-7 vs Top 50
5-13 vs Top 50-100
Every possible metric you could look at is down ....except for the excuses.

How much of an extension do you think Gene should get?

I havent seen many others, but Im guessing WSU still has facilities that compare to most.
Sounds Familiar. Gene Stephenson lightening will be hard to capture again.

I want three, new, superior, baseball recruiters, who happen to be competent baseball teachers and game managers.
Follow the Coach Marshall recruitment model.
It is all that I am requesting.

Sounds Familiar. Gene Stephenson lightening will be hard to capture again."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!

It really all depends on what Sexton wants for the future of WSU baseball.
Two things can be assumed
1. Either he wasn't happy with the results
2. He wasn't happy with what he's paying
If its point #2 we might get the same results as we've had for the past 4 years but with paying 1/3 the cost. Will Sexton be happy then? Well see who he hires and at what investment..

Our program used to do this all the time. I want to see the program do it again.

Sexton's list:
1. Has ran, or been a key part of running, a successful program.
2. Can recruit players that can be coached.
3. Can win back those supporters who have dropped season tickets.
4. Develops quality young men.
Those won't come cheap, and while I don't expect us to spend $500k, we better spend $300k+ or what was the point? A can't miss guy will cost us. We can take a chance, but can we?
