I'm still not sold on Scott Stricklin...
So having 1 good but not great season means Strictlin is all of a sudden golden ?
The team is 12-9 in conference play, that is mediocre, not reason to build a statue.
His record at UGA is terrible, he's a long way from proving he's the man for the job in my opinion.
What this likely means is he can have another 3 or 4 years of under producing without getting fired.
That said, I do hope this signals a turn in the program, but color me unconvinced for now.

I’d expect nothing less from you. Thanks for this contribution. Can’t wait for coach rob to join in

this made me chuckle but I'm studying for finals at the top of the MLC (which is a quiet zone for you old folks and bandwagons) so I got some nasty looks.
A DawgNation meltdown is in the process. Don't think many are concerned about Stricklin at the moment? Allow a recovery period and try again.
Oh and you ever hear that popular term used by stock brokers? It's a done deal! Remember that Pappoe fans.
Hah sorry about that. Glad I could take your mind off it for a bit. You can do it!!
Lol, that made my day. I actually think he's done a great job this year and it started with the hiring of the new pitching coach. If you look at the numbers the ERA,BB and opp. BA are all down from last year drastically. Also there were a lot of younger guys that played in the last two years that are now reaping the fruit of those growing pains. The SEC is a very tough conference top to bottom in baseball.
But thanks for the shoutout @Kasey
Stricklin is doing a great job this year. Nobody would ever pick a college baseball team who has 2 weekend starters that are freshman to win as many games as Georgia has won this year. He has also taken care of business against Clemson and tech which are always big wins not to mention has own the other state school that typically have pretty good baseball programs this year. He has his team projected to host and win a regional which we haven’t. Been since like 08 or something like that. Perno basically Richt himself at the end of his time at Georgia. Only difference was the cover was very, very empty and it takes a while to build it back up when other SEC programs have better facilities and better teams to sway kids too. He has a good looking team that is young and better facilities now as well. Also they have dramatically decrease in errors which is huge to help your pitching.
12-9 in a conference that makes up almost half of the top 25 nationally. Not too shabby.
Data placed in context??? What is this wizardry!!!!
Sweet baby Jesus, please let football come soon.
Have you seen our players bodies & how we look so much stronger & better with the strength showing in the games. Are you just looking for something to talk about. We have never looked this good ever & you say something like that. Now is he the best ever (NO) I wouldn't go that far but he has been worth the praise he has gotten so far up until this point since he has been at UGA
Players are not models and baseball is not football, how does Altuve look without a shirt ?....who cares.
Stricklin is not a trainer anyway, his job is to recruit, teach and coach games.
Drama queens the lot of you.
Are ANY of you even capable of a conversation without the bs ?
I, for one, refuse to look this gift horse in the mouth. I was at Foley last weekend and the team, the fans, the atmosphere were electric. The combination of the new pitching coach, some hot young arms, and some talented vets has these Diamond Dawgs playing at a high level. Bottom line, it takes some coaching leadership to put all these parts together. Color this Dawg happy.
Let's remember, a coach is never as good as his team's winning makes it seem, and never as bad as his team's losing makes it seem!
