Can we just hire Trisha Ford as our baseball coach and be done with it?

She just may be the best damn coach on campus. THAT'S how you recruit. THAT'S how you coach. THAT'S how you get your team to play with no fear and a mega chip on their shoulder.

What they did last year at Texas when they got screwed with a 16 seed was nothing short of amazing. A year later she has them playing the best ball in the country.

14 runs in the first 3 innings to set an all time SEC record, over the fuggin 'sips.our guys oughta be ashamed.

Yeah, our pitchers will win in baseball throwing rise balls.

Did y'all see what she did with our pitcher Kennedy? When she was a freshman (pre-Ford) she was throwing this:

Curve Ball: 45%
Screw Ball: 20%
Riser: 12%
Sinker: 11%

Ford comes in, watches her mechanics and tells her she's throwing the wrong kind of pitches for her form.

Now, one of the top pitchers in NCAA, throwing almost all Drops, Risers, and Changeups:

Curve Ball: 17%
Screw Ball: 0%
Riser: 41%
Sinker: 29%

Commentator asks her when she's up 14-2, "how do you keep from letting off the pedal/" She says "this is a rivalry game, we're not stepping off the pedal!"

I'll admit putting 14 runs up in the first 3 innings was impressive. Come out, take charge and don't let up. That's the ticket.

I've been thinking the same thing for weeks. Not only the best coach on campus (and there's some stiff competition on the ladies' coaching side) but maybe one of the best damn hires we've made in the last 30 years

She knows how to get sh** done. We need a massive infusion of that, across the board

This is ridiculous. Girls only play seven innings. It's apples and oranges.

Some of you really are dense if you took the OP seriously. That and some of y'all just love complaining.

Here's hoping the women go out and do what we expected the men to do.

Ford = A+

Mike = D-

Ford is special. So far, Mike, not so much.

Ford has those girls playing with a hard-on. Early is limp.

This tells me you don't understand the difference between what good coached and great coaches do.

What brand of chewing gum does Coach Ford chew? I would like to send her some.

I think if we are just throwing out random names, I nominate Coach Gretchen Montgomery Willock for our next baseball coach.

Well she's ruthless and I love it. Didn't even recruit her own daughter who is a D1 talent.
