As a long time supporter of Alabama Baseball its clear that Gaspard and his entire staff should be fired.
He's had ample time and years to get the program into shape, and you are seeing other programs with just as many disadvantages be successful and Alabama is just not. The new stadium wasn't even half filled last night in a must win series for Alabama.
The misses on talent. The state's top players going elsewhere to play. Bama playing guys like Salem and Haynie every single day when neither of them are even average SEC players. We do not have one single regular hitting over 300. The constant excuses that he quotes after games. Its old. He's not getting it done. Alabama deserves better.
The day Bunn left and Gaspard hired his buddy Phillips was the turning point of this program. I have no clue why Mal Moore accepted that hiring. Phillips won't be able to land a job at a small D1 school once this staff is fired. He can't recruit and certainly hasn't done anything to help our hitters.
I personally hope the powers that be understand this is much like the anthony grant situation. Alabama will likely do enough to squeak their way into a regional, but his fate should be sealed. And I personally would rather see Alabama miss a regional this year if thats what it will take to rid ourselves of this staff.
The tough decision was made on Shula. Nice guy who ran an average program.
The same decision was made on Grant. Nice guy who ran an average program.
Same decision needs to be made with Gaspard. It is time he goes
