Scott Stricklin = Mark Fox in a baseball cap...
Both came to Georgia as young HCs who'd been successful at smaller schools, and both have been huge disappointments.
I admit I thought Stricklin was a very good hire at the time. He looked the part, had the background and he wasn't afraid to talk about his plans to build a championship program.
Cut to 5 years later. The discussion now is he should ''at least flirt with a .500 record'', which while admittedly better than the road kill we've seen so far, it's a loser's goal.
I think if Stricklin doesn't have a winning record by a substantial margin THIS SEASON, he should join Fox and probably McGarity in the unemployment line.
Thoughts ?

Seems like both have "plateaued". They've been around long enough to say they are who their records say they are. If they get another season - either of them - and can't improve, it's time to look elsewhere - if winning is important. Heck, J. Foley, at UF, fired his baseball coach after he'd been to the CWS because he didn't feel that coach had what it took to keep the program at a high enough level. Winning championships, not just winning, was his goal for each of his teams.
Fox 100% should be gone after this season. If McGarity can't see that, he should be shown the error in his thinking or the door.
There is NOTHING that should be able to save Fox, his fate should already be decided.
Does Faton Bauta have any eligibility to return and start at point guard?
"Batting clean-up, number 91, David Marvin."
No doubt that both Fox and Strickland have been big disappointments.
Both coaches need to go after this year.
Fox should be out regardless, he's had 9 years and his teams have been ranked a grand total of ONE WEEK during his tenure.
Stricklin seems to think going .500 or at least getting close to that milestone of mediocrity would be enough....HECK NO, if that's his level of success, he should be fired too.
One game away from a natty in Omaha in 08, AND multiple trips there. No reason we shouldn't be able to dish out the $ to get someone like the coach from UF gulf coast (who was a top 25 team.) It all starts with McGarity. We've accepted mediocrity for too long in both sports. With all the baseball talent in the state it's d a m n ridiculous...
It’s different in baseball. True there’s a lot of talent around ATL. But, there are Very few full schollies. Plus many GA kids go and sign with a team, after they sign a LOI. Makes it hard to recruit. Still, we should do a lot better, for sure.
Bozo the liar clown = Donald Trump.
I disagree. With our history of turning out players, the fan base and players within 2 hours of campus we should be elite.
A clown who lost the popular vote by 3 million, but won the hearts of Klansmen everywhere.
I'm not making excuses for Hillary, I'm making points about the worst president in our history.
Honestly Trump would have destroyed our system of governance by now if not for checks and balances. He's truly in-American.
Now I'm done with politics, I might get banned for what I've already posted.
I guess you get the last word.
Dang auto check. Of course I meant un-American.
You're entitled to your opinion, I don't have to agree with you though.
Trump has goofy hair.
Ok, I'll bite.
We have a POTUS who has called the press, an enemy of America. He sided with a Russian despot dictator who has re-ignited the cold war against our own intelligence services. MANY experts think he is damaging our federal institutions for generations to come. A high level FBI special agent resigned Friday so he can be free to speak up about Trump's war on our institutions.
This is not Hillary doing self serving things and lying about taking fire in Bosnia or wherever. This is an unprecedented attack on a system we've had in place for close to 250 years.
None of what I've posted even gets to WHY he is doing these things, but hopefully it will come out.
No he hasn't.
He takes credit for some that began early in Obama's presidency.
The unemployment rate was 7.9% when Obama took office. It took a year to turn things around and the rate went to almost 10% in 2009, then the rate dropped all the way to 4.7% the day Trump took office. It's now 4.1%. If you have common sense you should be able to understand Obama climbed the mountain, then Trump walked the last few feet and says the rate is the lowest since just after Clinton left office.
Trump is a blowhard who BSs and people who are either too lazy to check or can't think through such things eat it up like small children.
See if you detect a trend in these stats.
Unemployment rate when Bill Clinton took office 7%
Unemployment rate when Bill Clinton left office 4%
Unemployment rate when GHW Bush took office 4%
Unemployment rate when GHW Bush left office 7.8%
Unemployment rate when Obama took office 7.9%
Unemployment rate when Obama left office 4.7%
Unemployment rate when Trump took office 4.7%
Unemployment rate at this point in Trump's tenure 4.1%
The republican tax bill was just implemented.
If the pattern continues as it has for decades their funding and tax bills will drive unemployment up again.
