Well what all of us locals done knew, it's now became official. The Dekalb County Tigers head baseball coach, Tracy Sloan, was relieved of his teaching and coaching duties today. He will not return to the school in any form or manner next calendar year.
I'm extremely glad the administration has decided to part ways with CTS after the conclusion of this years 2016 season. There is nothing worse than a lame duck coach, and that's especially true at the college and pro levels in any sport. IMO, there just wasn't any reason in delaying in the inevitable, so kudos to the people in power that made this move.
In a mediocre 3 year run as coach, Tracy lead the Tigers to a 53-50 overall record. He was 26-16 in district play, and 8-7 in the post season. I will be the first to say that Coach Sloan is a good man, but he's a slightly below average baseball coach. He squandered and wasted a ton of very good talent over his three years. We should of been competing for district and region titles during his run, not fighting to remain a game over .500.
