My 2 cents worth.....
Definitely time for WB to take a hard look at the baseball coaching staff. I like Elbin, and I think he's a future head coach somewhere. But our pitching has left a lot to be desired for the entire tenure of this head coach. No depth, too many walks, too many transfers, no development, etc. I think it's past time to look for a new pitching coach, and it's might be time to look for a new head coach. We need to recruit the state better, mix in the DC-Baltimore area, and Charlotte. No reason VT can't make the NCAA baseball tournament on a regular basis........

Agreed
I can't think of a pitcher that developed significantly year over year. I also believe total focus on increasing velocity is ruining young arms. Szefc needs to answer * How every midseason the team has all but locked up an NCAAT bid with a .630 conf win %, then proceed to lose 80% of their remaining conf games? (.632 start, .185 finish). How does a good team get that bad that quick? * Why can't you win a single conf series past mid-April, going 0-18 over 4 years at crunch time?

Teams gets the tape on Tech and figures them out
And Tech don't adjust from there

If that’s the case…isn’t that bad coaching by Szefc’s staff
In comparison to peers in conference?

I agree but we still probably have 2 more seasons of szefc
Just hopefully with a new PC

Why?

Cause that's when his contract us up
And I doubt Whit wants to use any money to buyout szefcs contract

Well if they’re not going to extend
The contract, he’s gotta go anyway…

Whit ain't going to do it. New baseball coach probably gonna be hired by a
New AD anyways. Whit gonna see what he can do with a new PC until his contract is out completely
