Some have asked whether Greg McGarity would make a move during the season. I seriously doubt that, at least as long as Georgia is still in the running for the SEC tournament, which this year qualifies 12 of the conference’s 14 teams. McGarity won’t pull the plug on the season as long as there’s still a chance, and despite the 0-6 start, the new tournament format gives the Bulldogs plenty of chance.

Perno has already been given plenty of rope, and deservedly so, because the two major injuries that have happened to their program within the last few years can’t just be glossed over. Perno, in guiding his alma mater to three CWS appearances, has also earned that rope. But he might be at the end of it soon. I haven’t personally spoken about it with McGarity lately, on or off the record, but in conversations with others around the building, there is a sense that the team will need an extremely strong finish, or there will have to be major changes before 2014...
