This is flat out embarrassing. This will take a few years for the program to recover from this. Agreed, Looney has to clean this mess up ASAP. This staff has failed miserably at the task of building through the transition. It’s crazy to watch a team in year 4 struggle to catch routine fly balls, or field ground balls to 3rd base. Not to mention only scoring 2 runs against Alabama A&M. If Kheen had any sense of gratitude towards UNA he would’ve announced his retirement weeks ago, rather than make Looney fire him. [b A few years ago, I didn't think it was possible to lose to A&M in any sport....

How did this team win at Alabama and win at Memphis? Obviously the team quit, confidence and fun took the first train out of town awhile ago. Transition is tough, sucking each year year of it is tougher. At this point play every senior, make sure they to play out their careers. Guess we letting coaches finish out their head coaching careers. I am sure they did the best they could.

Last year it was Alabama State. This year its Alabama A&M. If this doesn't convince Josh Looney to fire or force Keehn to retire like he did withe Brice Bishop, then I don't know what will.

Alright we know it’s inevitable now… time to start The Who is next leading our baseball program train. I sent an Email to Looney, told him I can get a lot more wins with less money... I said he could put that money he saves into facilities....lol Haven't got an Email back this time though 🤔

Wow… This is a really bad defensive team. Looking at Belmont box score. 18 runs allowed, only 3 earned. 15 unearned runs!

Wow… This is a really bad defensive team. Looking at Belmont box score. 18 runs allowed, only 3 earned. 15 unearned runs! Plenty of blame to go around. ERA on season is close to 9. Most errors in ASN too. They seemed to have regressed throughout the season. They were never going to be "good", but I'll admit this is worse than anyone could have predicted. Time to start over. HC should have been fired during the season but the main assistant might be the worst pitching coach in the country and the hitting coach is 1 year into his career. No grown up to put in charge if you were to fir HC during the season. Clean house after final game at Lipscomb.

I know I've said it, others have said it and so on, give everyone a fair chance during the transition and see what we have.
Baseball could not stay par, let alone improve.... Every coach we have has to go.
Don't put it in facilities either. While they are not the best, they are far from the worst. I've been stopping in at various places when I travel to see what the difference is, and while some are light years ahead, some, major schools, are light years behind or very similar to us.
I think our biggest problem is, for the most part, out fans and supporters think that we are what we are and we are just behind...
That's true in some areas, but just because we don't have everything that a school that has been in D1 for 30+ years have, don't mean we can't make great hires and be as competitive as we can given the situation.
You can't tell me that we can beat Ole Miss, Alabama, Memphis, Cincinnati and not beat teams that are clearly worse than most of them and it is because we don't pay enough or don't have better facilities and so on... I'm not buying it. The truth is, UNA tends to hire of the buddy system and that's what needs to change...
No offense to Auburn people, I'm neither Alabama or Auburn supporter, but that is what has kept Auburn from surpassing Alabama in a lot of ways, they would hire so and so because they have connections to someone else that is at Auburn or had been at Auburn instead of just finding the right person for the job.
I love Willis, but he is in the same boat as far as I'm concerned.
Time to find someone to coach baseball that has nothing to do with UNA and let him make a name for himself.

The good news for whoever they hire is, these guys have set the bar so low it will take almost nothing to show substantial improvement. I would imagine the roster will have a huge amount of turnover from this year to next. Time to start over, because the last four years have been wasted. Cozart set the example for what that transition could have looked like with real leadership.
