He thought his guy was better in that situation and got beat.

That's baseball.
And really, more often that not, he wins that matchup. Baseball is the toughest sport in the world to manage in-game. There's no other sport where the manager has so many decisions to make that can be questioned, and they will be questioned.

Hey guys… remember when the guy that took Virginia to their first super regional, first CWS, first national championship, the NCAA tournament in 18 of his 21 seasons, and won the ACC’s only CWS of the past 20 years made one decision that turned out to be the wrong one after his guys pitched 7.3 hitless innings the same game?

17 that guy. Don’t get too excited about that hire.

Are you really pre-ѕhitting on what would arguably be the best hire of the 21st century in all of college baseball?
Would you expect anything different from our fanbase? There is line in a Charlie Brown Christmas that is something along the lines of Linus telling Charlie Brown that he is the only person who could "take a wonderful holiday like Christmas and turn it into a problem". We are the Charlie Brown of college fanbases. In fact, out of all the other Charlie Brown fanbases, we are the Charlie Browniest.

If we do end up hiring him, we will find a litany shortcomings with the man.
