Here we go again west. I sat quiet here and am trying to not read to much into your post or let it affect me. But sitting here reading posts after post by you - you acting like you have your finger on the pulse of the program - the self proclaimed expert on baseball and team chemistry - legend of LU Baseball - friend of all baseball players.
GIVE ME A BREAK!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. The players do not dislike Royer - Talk to them (more than 2 or 3 of them). You are talking to a very minority fraction of the team. I know exactly who you are referring to when you say there are issues. I'm not going to bring up their names, because they don't deserve to be mentioned on a baseball thread, it would be more appropriate on a kindergarten website. Ask the major players if Royer is liked, I have and they love Royer and think that these few players are making Royer out to be something he's not. And to tell you the truth - most the players are sick of it too.
There is no question that Royer should be brought back, it's not even an argument and a stupid thing to even contemplate - he wins. First Coach to win 30 games in 3 consecutive years, won more games in three years than any other coach in LU history. He has been in the championship game 3 out 4 years and lost this year to easily the best team in Coastal's History - 14th in the Nation - no one, but LU had a chance to beat them - That is from the mouth of their coach. The question is whether Royer wants to stay in a program that looks at these last few years as unsuccessful. Don't bring up the Pastor teams, the Big South was no where as strong - everyone knows that. Were you even alive in the pastor era? Strength of schedule being worse? NOPE. Here is a chart I developed months ago to prove that we play a comparable schedule as all other teams in the LU History - I think a much harder schedule. And this year was twice as tough than last year with SC and Arizona, not to mention the improvement to Coastal and VMI. Finish the year with a RPI 0f 61. What other teams at LU have finish top 75 in the country?
You think that great coaches are easy to find? That someone else will magically come here and turn into Coastal? You're crazy. Unless you move Liberty to Myrtle Beach. We have a great coach - let's move on and do our best to keep him here!
Let's make more of an effort to get rid of the bad apples on the team and help the old bitter has-been players from stirring up controversy because they have no respect for Liberty and Baseball.
You know what's sad - is I'm probably viewed by this board as being arrogant and hot headed and that's not who I am, I'm just fired up to see MY school make huge strides in competition and not being able to celebrate it!!
