Wow. I can't believe you guys are sad to see him go. He managed the Rangers out of a World Series title against the redbirds.

I actually hope it is substance abuse related, because the only other thing I think could make him leave at this point would be a MAJOR health issue.

Never the best in-game manager. The WS was lost by a combination of things and Wash does deserve some of the blame.

Towards mediocrity?

The Rangers are the worst team in baseball. They aren't mediocre.

If fully healthy they are not in the position they are in. This season has just been a total crash and burn before it even started.

Beset by injuries, the Rangers have used 40 pitchers among the 63 players to see action this season -- both major league records for a season.

Hard to say that they are bad because of the roster when you have to use 40 pitchers in a season, more than has ever been used in a season before.

If Cruz catches the fly ball in game 6, the Rangers win.

The injuries are what killed them this season. I don't have a problem with Kinsler for Fielder, and with the Choo signing, but many of Daniels' other moves were pretty "WTF", coupled with the organization getting rid of Nolan, however you want to put it, are what is trending the team in a "not positive" direction. Now that Ron is gone, I have to wonder what will happen with the team. Yeah, he made some odd in game decisions, but a great manager in the grand scheme of things.

If Cruz isn't on right field, Gentry catches the ball.

Up 2 in the bottom of the 12th with a chance to win the series. You should have your best defensive lineup on the field.

He didnt.

Quoting this so that you can read it again and think about ALL of the words here.

That may be, but even your most spare of benchwarmers in the major leagues should be able to catch a fly ball.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort away by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.
