Overall, Spring sports are going pretty well, but I decided to start this thread when I noticed that our men's tennis team is 0-7 in the BSC this year. When you consider the HUGE advantage we have with our facilities and resources, that is really horrible. Paging ATrain for a response on this since I know he still follows the program and we have the same coach (Chris Johnson) as when he was a GA.
I know there is a vocal group who think it's time for Carey Green to go, but let's be realistic. It will take more than one bad year to justify a change there, although for the conspiracy theorists out there, I think if Ian is going to poach a current or former Baylor coach, I'll go on record as saying Mulkey is a lot more likely (and a MUCH better choice) than Briles. Volleyball has fallen off a bit, but I think Pinder is safe for now. Lacross has gotten beaten up by their tough OOC schedule but is doing well in the BSC
On the men's sports side, other than tennis, I think Gill needs to show some significant progress immediately. They need to have a good year and show signs that they are prepared for the big step up in competition that is coming in 2018. The other program that has been disappointing is men's soccer. I know Albers is a great "Liberty guy" but better results are needed, or something will need to change.
