Another DiMare/ Morris special in the making. Got the first two guys on in the bottom of the 8th, followed by a strikeout and an infield popup.

Morris is just taking a victory lap (albeit in reverse) this season as part of his retirement kiss the ring tour. AD should have done it many years ago as the writing was on the wall.

Now the AD needs to find the balls to fire Gino, JD and any other assistants and let a national search for a coach begin. If not, this is the new norm.

Since Donna, this school says it wants to win championships, but it is content in keeping low profile with its players, and trying to win just enough so the program can keep the ACC money flowing. There is no reason, except coaching, and for now, perhaps talent, for lack of scouting, that we cannot be the premier program in the state, and back on the top nationally. I don't want to hear the cost of school, because the homers were praising the staff for the collection of players it had just a few years ago when they made the CWS and choked away a 2-2 record (both losses to UF -combined scored 25-5) and had BBQ in 2016.

Since, pitching (and even during) has been suspect, and fielding and hitting is not close to a D1 level.

As said, it is hard to blame Morris at this point. It is the job of Blake James to recognize the issues and take care of them long before they become this bad. He chose to give Morris a victory lap, and name Gino HCiW. It became evident last season the team was not up to par, and would be worse under this staff this season. A celebration, if wanted, should have been held for the last home series and ties cut. But James failed, and the program is suffering from his incompetence.

Wonder if the Maine AD tweeted Building Champions last night, or just recognized participation medals are for losers and you play for the conference, then World Series Championships. Winning championships builds champions Blake, not participation medals.
 
Morris was done after the Canes got drilled in regional vs Stony Brook. That was the time to make a move. So here we are!!!
 
Letting Morris stay on way longer than he should have is bad enough. But even that wasn't as bad a decision as hiring as his replacement a guy who was the lead recruiter that got us the players that killed the streak, now can't beat FAU or Maine, and more importantly cannot be fired. At least Coker, Shannon and Golden could be fired. Canes baseball has hit the iceberg and the life boats all have holes. We realistically are looking at a decade or more of suck.
 
We suck and are going to continue to suck. We are not making the regionals for the second straight year but don’t worry the program is fine. Hate to say it but we are in trouble. At this current time we are the seventh best program in our own state. Not in the country but in the state! This is going to take multiple years to get it corrected and I’m skeptical on the coach in waiting to get it corrected. Canes baseball is currently on life support.
