    And we've had 6 other years where we finished runner up....make the finals, win if possible. But yes national championships is the standard....always should be and any expectation below that is complacency. 

     

    You just said Augie should’ve been able to coach here until the day he died and then said anything less than national championship expectations is complacency. How are you not calling for Augie’s head after 2013?

    It makes little sense to look at Augie's decline years for comparison purposes.  You don't get to endure a decline that long if you haven't kicked ass to earn the right.

    Counterpoint: Augie’s 1st 6 seasons: 2 CWS (1 championship), 2 missed tournaments..

    regardless of the cause or duration of decline, going back to 2006 might even be generous. The players we’re recruiting weren’t alive when won our last national title.

    this is a romanticized recollection of Augie. Starting the year after his last championship…

    2006: 41-21, B12 champs, lost in Austin Regional

    2007: 46-17, B12 champs, lost in Austin Regional (at Dell)

    2008: 38-22, 5th in B12, lost in Rice Regional 

    2009: 50-16-1, B12 champs, CWS, National Runner up (LSU)

    2010: 50-13, B12 champs, lost in Austin Supers (TCU)

    2011: 49-19, B12 champs, CWS (0-2)

    2012: 30-22, 3rd in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    2013: 27-24, LAST in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    2014: 46-21, 5th in B12, CWS, finished ~3rd

    2015: 30-27, 5th in B12, lost in Dallas Baptist regional

    2016: 25-32, 7th in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    So in Augie’s final 11 seasons, we missed the tournament 3 times and reached the CWS 3 times. 

    David Pierce’s 7 seasons (6 if you remove the covid year we started 14-3) have produced 3 CWS appearances and he’s missed the tournament once. 

    Claiming DP isn’t meeting our standard is ignorant and arguably fucking regarded. Like, a brief review of our last 20 years of results should probably be required before people post here.

    When Angie was coaching and he would have situations like this of losing those early games, I would just say he's tweaking the team to get ready for conference and sometimes you lose those games. And then Texas would do well, even going deep into the tournament and CWS. Not sure there is the same confidence with David and whether are not he can win a National Championship at Texas.

    We won’t and shouldn’t fire Pierce this year, obviously. A repeat of 2019 puts him on a very hot seat, but I think anything else and he’s ok. Though I do think CDC starts to look at available names because after next year we’ll likely either need to extend or fire him.

    I’ve been adamant for a long time that Pierce has been a poor recruiter (though great eye for pitching and coach). In his tenure our HS recruiting rankings have averaged 25th in the nation on PerfectGame. We’re out-recruited every year by teams we think we should be on par with or beating: Vandy, LSU, Tennessee, TCU, Arkansas, Florida, Texas Tech, A&M…The 2021 class, which should have multiple senior players leading this team a la Hansen, Faltine, Zubia, Campbell landed at 97th and may not have a single meaningful contributor if Harrison doesn’t recover.

    ‘21-‘22 were great because we had a solid, senior HS core and hit on multiple all-star JUCOs/transfers. Now, with injuries and recruiting it could be a rebuild this year (though I’m waiting to see how the next 3 weeks or so go).

    BUT, I do think there are several promising signs. Our past two classes have been better and ‘24 and ‘25 are ranked 3rd in the country (the first time that Pierce classes even sniffed the top 5). That plus better NIL performance and I think we can improve quickly.

    What were DP’s prior classes ranked prior to the draft? Is there reason to believe these next 2 classes won’t be gutted by the draft?

    The fact you think time on a message board is the determining factor says quite a lot.  The fact you freely and openly admitted it says even more.

    But hey, it's a free country and this is just a message board, think what you want.
