Is it time for a new Baseball coach?

[AikenGameFan]

I really don't understand a lot of what I see with this team. Sometimes the position changes seem okay, other times, we have serious issues.
I really do not understand the pitcher changes during the games too much at all. Some stay in way too long. Others it seems like get pulled way to soon.
Our batting is just disgusting at times, way to many strike outs with the no swing at all. It seems the bunts are always called or not called at all the wrong times.
If we can't pull off a win or 2 and hoover, we may not even get in the NCAA.
At least Tanner did a far better job than we have seen from Kingston, and he did not have a portal to work with. Kingston can't even keep recruits committed.

We all know that we can have a championship team her in Columbia. I think it is time to go find a coach that will bring that back.
I think it is time for Kingston to be gone.

South Carolina Baseball: The statistical truth about the Mark Kingston era in Columbia

South Carolina baseball coach Mark Kingston is on a hot seat right now, and a look into the numbers explains why.

But we may not know if he stays or not until after June 30th...
Buyout terms if Kingston contract is terminated by South Carolina:
-- $ 800,000 if the University terminates the Employment Agreement during Contract Year July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024
-- $ 400,000 if the University terminates the Employment Agreement during Contract Year July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025

Kingston being on the hot seat will dominate the conversation during our games at Hoover this week and in the NCAAT regardless.

He probably should be on the hot seat. No better than Holbrook and probably a little worse. Maybe someone can look up their win % and post season records and clarify. I’m not saying fire him, but what do we do, wait another year? He basically needs some home run finds in the portal for next season to not be worse. The team looked much more promising earlier in Conf play so maybe we get hot again.

I remember hearing a guy from the D1 baseball site saying before the season started that barring major injuries he thought SC had a good chance to reach Omaha.

Right now as mentioned earlier we may not even make the tournament. I for one believe a change is needed at his point.

Can't comment on if Kingston should go, but I haven't enjoyed watching Carolina baseball for several years now -- just bad fundamentals. Watching inconsistency is tough.
