I have read this board for some time, but have not posted until now. I noticed in the Wofford series thread that someone asked about the details of Moranda's contract. No one replied to the question. I would like to to pose that question again. Does anyone know the details on Mo's deal? Thanks

Welcome to the board charlesbates.
I've looked and can find nothing online about Moranda's contract or extension. It shouldn't be a secret, but I don't recall anything being posted officially about his contract.

I was just curious. There have been others on here calling for a change. I would guess if Coach Mo has years remaining on his contract, then he will be back. If not, it could be time. I wouldn't think that our administration would pay a buyout for a baseball coach right now......but then again, it is going to be a struggle for us to get to double digit wins. We shall see.

Guys - we are having what is probably going to be an unprecedentedly awful season, but Coach Mo has more SoCon wins than any baseball coach in WCU history, and 7 of 10 seasons with 30+ wins. I know we are all upset with a 3-23 record to date, and all want to see some kind of change with the product we are currently putting on the field. But in the history of this board about the only things that have consistently seen positive posts have been baseball and track. Imagine how upset the coaches and players are with how the season is going? I had mentioned in another thread about how confidence is so easy to lose and so hard to get back, and that seems especially true in baseball. I am not saying I don't want to see some glimmers of hope or some changes made with the lineup, but we have had a pretty good baseball program over the past 10 years under Mo and I would expect that he gets the benefit of the doubt to prove that this is a fluke, that getting the full amount of scholarships next year will be significant, and that he hasn't totally forgotten how to coach. Places like Western are most likely not going to run off a relatively successful coach because of one awful season. If we see the same thing next year, or if we don't see any willingness to make necessary changes, if we saw on or off-field issues start to happen, and if we saw a mass exodus of players or an inability to sign decent recruits - then I could see a change being basically required. But I do not see WCU making any kind of decision based on a single season like we used to do (those were the BAD decisions of giving a guy an extension based on a single good game or just showing some signs of life). Coach's bio: www.catamountsports.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/bobby_moranda_307067.html. Maybe this is similar to basketball and we are getting down to it being time for both school and coach to move on. But short of Mo retiring, I can't imagine him not being back for WCU as long as his current contract is good for. |

I not so sure everyone is calling for Coach Mo's head. I think why everyone is scratching their head and so upset is because players can make errors, hit 100 and still get to be the glory boys and get to start every game. We are 3- 24. What D1 Coach does that? It is something to be concerned about. He is coaching no one? If you don't have to perform and that doesn't matter, what are you teaching those guys? The guys sitting and watching all day every day, i know what you are teaching them and its not how the game is played at this level. Make changes, send messages , make them earn their damn position. That would be why he needs to go.

Pretty sure it's an annual contract. 1 year at a clip with annual review.

It appears that Mo's contract is renewed annually. This is 100% relevant information as we sit at 3-31, having lost 13 straight and being swept by VMI.

I don't know the inside situation - and whether Moranda has suddenly become a bad coach. But I think someone with his record would be afforded another chance given his history. If there's another problem - that's a different story. As I mentioned in another thread - Speir's fourth or fifth season came out 2-9, but they bounced back. Even Bob Waters had a couple of VERY bad seasons. '75 3-7, '80 3-7-1, '81 4-7. Two years later - well we know what happened. Before anyone says that I am making excuses or saying we keep the coach at all costs, please re-read my first and third sentences... |
