Maybe this is the wrong place to post, but what's happening in Gainesville is worth bringing up. What's with Kevin O'Sullivan? The guy lands top recruiting classes every year, but consistently fails to win the big prize. The guy's put out a ton of pro players recently, but 4 College World Series appearances in the last 6 years and the Gators still haven't won a title. That's not cutting it by any measure. Can't believe that Jeremy Foley will stick with him much longer if he can't cash in. It's all about winning the big prize and O'Sullivan hasn't done it. Blows out Miami and then allows his team to be two-hit by the ACC's Virginia. That inconsistency is what gets hitting coaches and eventually the HC fired. Have to believe the heat turns up if Miami ends another CWS dream Wednesday.

Strong work, but Sullivan should stay put. We want Sullivan to get the Mike Martin Lifetime Achievement Award in 2030.
 
If Florida does the right thing and fires him, he could replace Jim Morris here where there is no pressure to win a championship.

No, couldn't hire a proven loser here. Plus, lests we forget Morris has actually won something.

That's because you think coaches get lifetime contracts. Perry Clark would still be here if it was up to you.

To the original point, there were some minor rumblings coming into this season, especially after he went 0-2 as a national seed last year. But I don't think he has failed enough to be in jeopardy. The thing that is going to get him run out is the way he treats his players. If you're not one of the stars, he treats you like absolute dog sht. I've heard more complaints about that than about his failure to win a title.

Loses tomorrow, he is gone. Dog___ coach, can't win the big one. Four WCS appearances in the last 6 years and nothing to show for it . . . gone, baby. Can't accept mediocrity.
