Who is insulting who? RoflamoWe all know what's about to happen here. It's like clockwork at this point:
(1) I'm going to destroy your post.
(2) You're going to disappear for three days.
(3) You will come back with more insults and ignore the fact that I destroyed this post.
A 60-game season is statistically significant. If we are top-8 during a 60-game season, we SHOULD face lower seeds because we earned the privilege.
Who said we shouldn't face lower seeds? At some point, champions play equal or better seeds. At the beginning of next season, Miami will have gone ten years without beating an equal or higher seed in the post-season. Ten years. A full decade without a win over a #1 seed.
A 3-game series to Dartmouth during the second week of the season is meaningless.
Right, except for the fact that it is literally THE series that kept us out of the post-season. And I'm not sure how much baseball you've watched, but getting shut out twice by Dartmouth isn't meaningless. It means you suck as an offense.
Morris failed this year badly
Groundbreaking.
OF COURSE he played BC and VCW.... His team EARNED that right.
His teams also earned the right to play other #1 seeds. For ten years. And we couldn't beat one of them. Not one.
I look at 2013-2016, and it is mathematically obvious that Morris "righted the ship" and made us elite once again. Being a top-8 seed for two consecutive years, AND making Omaha, is highly statistically significant.
You wouldn't know "statistically significant" if it walked up and punched you in the mouth. You're just about the worst numbers guy I've ever seen. Morris' improved record against a woefully overrated ACC is far from significant. One thing didn't change: his inability to beat other #1 seeds in the post-season. That hasn't changed one bit.
The gnome picks and chooses data. He does not utilize an unbiased data-set because he possesses rudimentary knowledge in the field. There is no point in arguing until the detractors take several classes on probability and discreet mathematics (or Morris fails again next year). Based on Morris' track record, I think that he will excel next year, but that is an opinion.
Quit trying to act like a professor. You have no idea how to apply math, probability, or statistics to any of this. If you did, you would know to stay far, far away because the data proves that Jim Morris has been coasting for ten years.
Goodbye until your next immature, insult-filled post.

Miami (FL) is 0-9 in the last 9 years in the post-season against opponents with equal or higher seeding. If the claim is that this futility is "randomness," it's like flipping a coin and landing on tails 9 times in a row. Possible, sure, but extremely unlikely.

He insults me personally, I destroy his posts. It's not difficult.
But thanks for adding to the thread. You guys are at a loss for words now that we're not even a tournament team.
This whole conversation is meaningless, Morris returns next year and it IS his last year. So be it, he is Elite and not to be questioned, his accomplishments and wins speak for themselves. The U has been fortunate to have such an accomplished coach. Having a randomly bad season is baseball and bound to happen even to the best .

Morris beats VCU and Boston College to get to Omaha = "Morris is a phenomenal, dominating coach"
Morris can't beat an equal or higher seed for a decade = "The post-season is random"

Completely ignoring roster management is random?
I totally agree the U had a terrible season , the worst UM hitting team I've seen and have been watching UM baseball most likely before u were born. Maybe you are an old guy like me but... Agree the Dartmouth series most likely decided the U's fate when it came to deciding if they get in or not. maybe losing 3/4 to FIU also had an effect. This team didn't deserve to get in but you can also make an argument every year about this team or that team who did or did not get in. This year is no different. You are not the only baseball guy on this thread.
This team did improve the second half and based on their performance in the first half that was a good coaching job since Morris didn't have the roster he had the last two years of 50 wins and Omaha appearances. Whether you agree or not doesn't change the facts.
It remains to be seen what his replacement will do recruiting wise and coaching wise. There are good ex-Canes waiting for the opportunity if he fails.

This isn't about Morris anymore. He's a lame duck. It's about DiMare. Specifically, his track record is unproven at best, and it will be extremely hard to fire him.

Funny, though, you came in with both barrels to defend Jim Morris. Weird.

Ignorance is bliss.........
Morris' play earned him the right to play those teams. Other teams beat those #1 seeds and NEVER made it to Omaha. UM did in both 2015 and 2016.
Scholarships provide other teams 4.5 more blue chippers than UM. You do not fire a coach that is top 17% during his worst stretch and top-4 during his best stretch. Not even USC nor Stanford can match UM's record during Morris' worst stretch.
They completely ignore 2015 and 2016. [That is about as elite as one can get, without the 'Gods' smiling down at some point.] Those two years mathematically refute the gnome, AND guarantee that he will whittle away in the Keys for the remainder of his life as a concierge (or "guest help specialist").

I don't ignore 2015 and 2016. Those years were part of the 0-9 against equal or higher seeded teams in the postseason.

So I still have you believing that I work for a hotel in Key West? And that I am a Florida......no........Florida State fan? You are so bad at this.
Nine years, zero wins against #1 seeds. Davidson has played a #1 seed twice in the last three days and has two wins.
Scholarships do not provide more blue chip players, especially at schools like Dartmouth and Davidson.

Exactly, what is DiMare capable of? How will the program change? These are the only questions that matter at this point. While I shed no tears for a coach getting the opportunity to take over one of the most storied programs in college baseball and make a nice living doing it, the pressure he's going to be under will be immense.

Gnome just said that Dartmouth and Davidson BOTH performed better than UM since 2008, so that tells me the level of intelligence that we are enduring on this site.... Despite that......
$44,000 in UM tuition versus $10,000 in-state. Assume .468 in scholarship funding.
Assume 3-years on campus for a "blue chip" player. You are asking him to pay $54,264 EXTRA to play at UM over three years.
Assuming 4-years, you pay an extra $72,452.
If player is part of Bright Lights (or whatever it is called in Florida) the difference now becomes $176,000. Most southern schools have this Hope/Bright Lights program as well.
Gnome - Where did you graduate from college? You talk a big game, so am wondering..... If this "concierge posting" was a temporary assignment, how do you earn a living. If Morris does not live up to your lofty expectations, what are you.... Some hedge fund titan?

Hold on. Where did anyone say that they performed better since 2008? I know you're a simpleton, but again, don't lie. It just makes you look worse.
No one needs the tuition numbers recited to them....again. It just means that our staff has to work harder. Quit relying on local kids to live at home. Go get the stud pitcher out of Connecticut who has a 1380 SAT and whose dad is a doctor. Find the outfielder in Ohio who can rake and whose grandad has everything covered for college. It takes work. If we're going to throw our hands up and complain about the disadvantage, then quit paying our coaches what we're paying them. Just accept that we're going to be Wake Forest.
I graduated from the University of Miami in 1994. I can take a pic of my diploma when I get home. You fell for some hotel thing, which again shows the intelligence level I'm dealing with.
Any word on what our RPI was on selection day in 2002?
