Chris Lemonis Thoughts

[Coach34]

Having some fun here coach, but I read this as you admitting Lemonis is not some top flight HC.

Honestly I dont. Some of the decisions we make drive me nuts- like pitching Davis on Saturday. Bringing him in after Auger on Sunday could have kept us in the game and given us that sweep chance. But I believed 100% he deserved this year because of the Natty. But my stance is clear- we miss a Regional next year? You're fired. 3 out of 4 doesnt cut it. I think we have some solid pieces for next year but we will be inexperienced. Need some good portal pieces and proper development for 25

Good points.
That is why I just don't trust him to build the pieces in the portal for next season.
Lemonis is living well right now with the help in the Auburn series, 2 short games that helped our pitching, and we still needed Hines bailing us out. Bama with players sick on Saturday and they were still hitting Loo pretty well without starters.

Is there a scenario in regionals you see Lemonis being fired this year?

By your statement he's living well now, but doesn't that just even out the BS losses we took because of bad umps at A&M and the review and suspension fiasco against UGA? Outside forces essentially cost us two games. Baseball is a long season. You don't get to discount wins or justify loses because "shit happens". It's just another part of the game. All these things you point to trying to downplay wins is just baseball.

At A&M, other than Hines and Jordan , we did not hit very well. Umps did not cause us to have so many swing and misses.
But a team having food poisoning is alot different than blaming an umpire for us not hitting.

The season does balance out to the law of averages. We are having a nice streak, with some help. We also seem to go with how Hines goes right now.
Edit: need Jordan and Hines this coming weekend against Arkansas. We can take 2 from them if we just hit a little, and don't have little league base running.

He's safe out of all likelihood. The only thing that would throw doubt into that would be struggling to close out the year and then going 0-2 in a road regional where you don't look competitive in either game. Again, barring a collapse though, he's safe and will get 25. But again, 25 is going to be a lot like this year. If he flops, he's fired. I know this sounds crazy, but if I'm Lemonis I 'm keeping my ears to the ground to see if a mid tier ACC job would open up and I'm politicking hard for it. If I was a coach, I just would hate being basically on a year to year contract. I don't know how you're supposed to effectively recruit off that. Not saying we're wrong for the expectations or he's wrong for wanting a little more leeway. I just think he's backed himself into a corner and he's at the end of a talent cycle. He's either going to have to kill it in the portal, which he is capable of, or go on a run to at least the Supers this year.

outside of getting caught molesting a goat I believe he will be back

I do hope we take 2 from Arkansas up there. Talk about building fan base support, that would be great up there.
