OK let's see if Coach Toman is staying or is he going I put it at 50/50. What do you guys think? I think if he stays this yr we have our coach for awhile. I think he COULD be at the point of " I ve done all I can and gone as far as I can go at LU.

PS Dude from DBU just touched 99 wow. Got to love the Baptist boys.

Depends on the openings. A solid to good offer could be enough for him to move on. He's seen what he could've had at Maryland along with the parts of his current job he doesn't love and may decide it's time for a new challenge.

I really think Toman stole your ex girlfriend or tried to blackmail you or ran over your dog or something, you have quite the fixation with seeing him fail or whatever this unhealthy obsession is

I suspect he will stay. Why expose himself further at another school? He is proven himself incapable of developing talent and is clearly an inferior X and O's coach, but he is good at recruiting. He gets so uptight it causes his players to make errors in the field, it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to play for him. He would be well served to stay where he is, he already has us fooled. smh. :)

I think BJ fixates on "unhealthy" fixaters.

He also enjoys attacking the Poster not the Post

I don't have the entire history of the sport on the mountain, but has LU ever gone to a Regional besides the past few years?? (The exception being this year of course.)

That I'm not sure of.

Toman's had great success here. Just think he may think it's his time to move to something new.

And almost made it in other years, falling in the BS tournament championship.

Question is, what is now considered "bad" when relating to Liberty baseball? I think Toman has increased expectations with his success. That, in and of itself, is an accomplishment.

I don't hate to say that. That shows where the program is and what we expect out of it. Not just a winning season, but at least a regional appearance.

I think that's a bit much at this point in time. I have a friend that went to Bama and I was kidding him about expecting a national championship every year. He was serious when he replied that being in the hunt every year was all he could ask. I think that at this point in time being in the hunt for a bid every year is a reasonable expection from where we were a few years ago.

The Clemson job has become available. I am hearing there may be some mutual interest regarding Toman. Since he is an ACC/SEC coach, always plays for the 3 run dinger and hasn't learned how to adjust to BSC play in 8 years, maybe he would be a good fit for that job. He would probably have to learn to develop players though. Amazing that he would even be considered for the job since he doesn't know how to do anything but recruit. :roll: Maybe we can pay part of his salary just to get shed of him. :mrgreen:
