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... I agree. He should get at least 2 or 3 more seasons. He had done well up until this time. No need to panic and throw the baby out with the bath water. GO CATS!!! |

Baseball we can and have won since Leggett but football had never won on a consistent level and will always have a hard time doing so |

Baseball we can and have won since Leggett but football had never won on a consistent level and will always have a hard time doing so Wow - did you really call me stupid? I'm not the smartest Catamount fan - but there is something going on with this baseball team that we don't understand. Do you think that the program is shot and we need to start over? I stand by my logic. The football team was under consistent leadership and was on a winning track when all of a sudden after two winning seasons, chemistry on the team got poisoned. When the problem got solved, the team came back to win again this fall. To go from a SoCon baseball contender last year to winning 10% of our games this year indicates to me that there is an issue that was not there last year. Resolve that issue and we may be able to turn the ship around next year. Is that stupid logic?  C'mon man. |

I wouldn't give him three more bad seasons - maybe not two more like this. But - the athletic administration knows what's going on - and if it's not with the head coach - then he should get at least one more season to turn it around. We believe - as someone has already stated - he is on a year to year contract. |

I think he should get next year and if he wins over half his games, he should get to come back for another year where more progress will need to be seen. This is the weirdest season I have ever seen from any Catamount baseball team. Our pitching is not up to snuff and neither is our hitting and fielding. It is the perfect storm of bad seasons. It seems we can't buy a break. I know this sounds crazy but it almost like Coach Mo is trying to get fired which I know is not correct. You would think that we would catch a break now and then but this year we have gotten no breaks. |

If I had not been involved in Baseball for a very long time and I have, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. However at this level , what is going on here is not acceptable ever. If you do not contribute, and you are not producing yet you are in the lineup everyday something is way wrong. When your team is 3-31 you had better given everyone a legitimate chance to contribute. Maybe you are not the best judge of talent you think you are? Right now i wouldn't say Coach Mo is the best judge of anything. He certainly isn't coaching like a real D1 Coach. He has made this program the second worst in all of the NCAA.

Has Coach Mo won more games than Jack or Todd because Coach Mo has been HC at WCU longer than Jack or Todd? To lazy to look it up. |
