[baseball1974]

The time that Cecil took over must have been when I retired because the last I really remember was when Salmons was at LC and they had that winless year in his first year and then went 21-4 in his last two seasons before he went to Cabel Midland. Somebody mentioned the program was in shambles and going in a negative direction when Cecil took over. So I guess my question is was there something else going on? The reason I ask? Because outside looking-in, taking a program that was something like 3-30 in the years previous, to a 21-4 record leading up to Cecil taking over, is not a program on its way down. It looks more like a program that took a giant leap forward with Salmons as the head coach. Cecil followed Salmons' last two seasons with his first two seasons of a 10-14 record I believe? I just didn't understand the comment made about the program being in bad shape when he took over, unless there was another reason for the comment besides results?
