50% of the time when I come in this thread it's the baseball team embarrassing themselves

Someone threw out the name Brian Raabe as a potential replacement on a podcast I was listening to. Former great at the U, now a successful coach at Bethel. He is 54, so I'm not sure if the U would want to go with a guy in his 30's  or 40's instead. I agree John Anderson has done a ton for baseball at the U, but the last few years have been brutal and hopefully he can realize it is time to move on.

He got a 2 year extension over the winter so I wonder if it might come out next year is his last. I know Coyle doesn't want to fire him but it has to be obvious to him a change needs to happen somehow.

Last year should have been his last (if not before then). The best coach on that staff last season is now coaching with NDSU.

The Gophers did manage to take 2/3 against 19-27 Nebraska this weekend to improve to 14-31 on the season. They have 1 true road win this season.

6 of their 14 wins are against University of St. Thomas and Western Illinois (6-38 this season).

 

 

The splits between our stats offensively and opponents stats offensively (let alone pitching) is insanely bad.

I has forgot that Laura was still at the U until I saw her as the MC for one of Motzko's season ticket holders Q & A this year. Happy retirement.

Gopher baseball season ended with a resounding THUD over the weekend. They had a 5-2 lead going into the 9th inning against Northwestern and lost 8-5.

Finished dead last in the Big Ten with a 6-18 conference record (failing to make the conference tournament) and 16-36 overall.

 

Hopefully they clean house and bring in a new coaching staff ASAP.

Bummer to see this. Especially with the Gophers being a tier 1 program for the BIG year in and year out.

Not Gopher related, but I’m watching a little of Oregon State vs. Stanford baseball game. Oregon State pitching staff has two 6’7” guys, one 6’8” and a 7 footer.

Just announced this is Hugh’s last season coaching the volleyball team. Very surprising.

That’s too bad. He helped elevate the team from very good to great.

With Matt Houk taking over at least in the interim, the program should be in great shape in the immediate future.  I've only met him and his wife, who is also on the VB staff, in passing around town, but I can tell you that they're very passionate about the work they're doing here and if their coaching abilities match that passion, the team won't skip a beat when Hugh steps down.

I love the way Hugh coaches-- he is a transformational coach and is intent on developing the whole person and not just trying to win games.  We really do have a good set of coaches throughout Gopher sports right now, particularly on the women's side.

 

Someone in the Strib article made reference to something that happened, however.  Maybe it is sour grapes or something, but is there something in the background that is forcing this?  Or is Hugh merely looking for another challenge or to spend time with family?

I can't imagine anything is coming from the U's side.  He just signed a contract extension through 2025 in December.  Guessing it either has to be something family related or he's got a chance to get back into the international coaching that he couldn't not take.

There is a big difference between an item in the article and wild conjecture in the article's comments.

My guess is he wants to spend more time with his family, the grind of coaching and related travel makes spending time with his  relatively young family difficult.  I have to wonder if his wife wants to join her family's business?  My wife hasn't heard anything so this is pure speculation by me...

Turns out it was from the U's side and in a good way: it's a promotion to a new assistant AD position.

I assume it means he doesn't need to hit the recruiting trail.  Big win for him there.

I am ecstatic he will be sticking around.  He is a great coach and will help other coaches continue to do great things here.

Is there a reason they do not have a Big Ten Volleyball tournament? It seems like every sport has a league tournament before the NCAA’s, but volleyball does not.

Impressive win. Braun and Battle are ballers. The team hit 20+ free throws in the 4Q and OT, missing only two.

I like that Hugh is still on staff in the athletic department and he can help with recruiting connections, local VB scene, etc.

No good place to put this, but it will be a big issue affecting all Gopher (and B1G) sports in the near future.
