I don't know enough about baseball to judge Justin Parker, but he was associate head coach/pitching coach at Indiana as well. If only we had an AD who knows more about baseball than I do, Parker could get a good evaluation.
What happens if Justin Parker goes 8-1 and gets into a regional?

As a young guy fresh out of school I was faced soon with hiring and firing, a lot. The firing bothered me for awhile but an older guy that worked with me enlightened me. He said in a nutshell
"everybody has problems, we all do. But when someone else problems become your problems and the company's problem, then WE ALL have a problem and you are the one that is faced with solving that problem. If you don't solve that problem, you then become a part of the problem as well and someone is possibly going to have to fire you too!"
After thinking about that I honestly never had an issue telling anyone to hit the streets. Some I was nicer to than others but usually explained the situation fully and why they had to go and it was never a further issue. I lost 1 unemployment claim to a former employee in my life and shouldn't have lost it and still don't understand how the unemployment judge saw it how he did. I fought every one of them I thought was deserved and won, and I let a few go unchallenged because it really wasn't a bad employee but circumstances were circumstances and they had to go and deserved the compensation. I think that record showed and helped reinforce to me that I was doing the right thing every time.
What other decisions are even in the conversation?

Firing Larry Templeton and Hiring Greg Byrne
Hiring Ron Polk
