Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

After becoming just the twelfth baseball coach to lead his team to the College World Series three times in his first seven seasons, David Perno received a 50 per cent pay bump from $300,000 to $450,000 per year.

I approve.

Despite my reservations with some coaching decisions during his tenure, he has proven to be a successful recruiter and has the program in the national media every other year… and he beats Tech when it matters. He deserves this raise for his teams’ accomplishments on the field. Congrats, Coach.

Now, about those coaching decisions…

The dude abides.

Realist, I think . . .

. . . we have reached consensus.

David Perno does many important things well, but he is not a perfect coach and he has areas in which he needs to improve.

It is my hope that the commitment the administration has made to him will give him the security and stability to further his recruiting efforts, but also that, just as Mark Richt worked on his weak points (better clock management, turning over the play-calling duties, amping up the motivational efforts), David Perno will identify and address his weaknesses in order to take this program, which has fallen just short on the grandest of stages, to the next level.

Go 'Dawgs!
