Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5031724, member: 55"] The choice of adjectives is silly, but your statement is not 100% wrong. Now ask yourself this? Over the last 15 years, what program or programs in New England, the Northeast and the Rust Belt have been consistently as good as us? And if you answer that question correctly, ask yourself whether it is rational to conclude that that is because no programs in those regions know how to hire the right coach, or whether there might be a structural disadvantage due to the combination of college baseball fanbase, weather and NCAA rules that make it impossible to compete with warm weather teams year after year. For everyone but you, the foregoing was a hypothetical argument with a serious poster. Obviously this was a troll, but the point remains that if a coach is accomplishing more than you should be expecting to accomplish given the reality of the situation, changing coaches is not going to change the underlying reality. Urban Meyer was not a sucky coach when he was at Miami of Ohio because he wasn't competing for major bowl bids. There is only so much coaches can accomplish on certain platforms. [/QUOTE]
