STILLWATER – Let me start with this and many of you that know me or listen to my daily radio show on Triple Play Sports Radio know that I am of the mind right now that you don’t fire coaches and pay off contracts when the price of doing business in college athletics is going up to the tune of $20.5 million. Beyond that, Oklahoma State baseball under Josh Holliday the past 12 and a half seasons has a record of 457-251-2.

Pitching scared and swinging for the fences every at bat will get you beat.

Worst team since before Gary Ward. Best stadium in the country and cannot get above 500 and with great talent over the years cannot get to the College World Series. So sick of seeing teams strikeout 10 plus times in every game. Just bad baseball

Time for a coaching change.

We just came off three straight 40 wins season and three straight regionals hosted. He's won the big 12 tournament 5 times in 12 years. He's doing ok. Having a bad year happens even when preseason you're supposed to be really good. Just ask Gundy

A coaching change cannot be out of true consideration. The investment in baseball has not wielded the results necessary for continuing this path. Sorry. Love Josh as a man, but he is not meeting expectations.

I'll repeat this... Oklahoma State cannot afford to fire a lot of coaches especially ones that have done well and have a bad season.

It's Tuesday night, bottom of 4 @ Missouri State. It seems ESPN+ is featuring a below average 2A HS team vs MSU. Absolutely brutal. This has got to be a really bad April Fools joke.

Good grief we suck. How is it EVERY team we play has better pitching?

I agree this team has underperformed, but Josh Holliday has earned the chance to turn it around. If next year the program is in a similar place then you make a change. Just remember, money spent paying off and changing coaches comes out of the budget and is money you can't use to win in other sports. Sports that bring in revenue and are more influential for the University as a whole.
