Whomever the new Coach may be

[Coach34]

The absolute top priority is keeping McPh, Foster, and Burns in maroon and white. That is literally our weekend rotation next season. They allow us to spend less on portal pitching- altho we gonna have to pay them good to stay- and helps the process.

This is the truth. We are going to have to spend to keep the ones we need to keep. But we are also going to have to replace the majority.

Zac just needs to deliver the coach who will get it done. No excuses.

BOC having 2nd thoughts. We got to keep working to get that signature. Virginia trying to offer a little more and a little more to keep him. He should get that they wont step up

If you're in the circle, you're on the clock too. Get to work.

You think to much of me, I just pass on what those who know will tell me. Have a beverage of choice, get in 18 tomorrow and take it easy.

Maybe- but as of this morning- it wasnt signed yet

No offense KO. But until it comes from Zac himself, I'll wait and see.

[KOdawg1]

No offense KO. But until it comes from Zac himself, I'll wait and see.

Sure. But from everyone who would know, it's over. I think it's possible he's agreed to terms and signed some preliminary documents. Maybe just not the contract itself.

Steve just now:
"There is nothing to worry about at all. No one should be worried about any cases of cold feet."

Not to be contentious at all but it's not over until it's signed.

Yeah, you definitely don't seem like a contentious person.**

Worry about it if you want to. Idc.

Haha!!! This made me Lol!!!

Nothing contentious about it. You seem bothered I won't accommodate you. I'm merely waiting for official word and am not willing to accept it from folks who might not really know. It really is that simple.

As of this morning- the contact wasnt signed and we were still going back and forth. Va was trying to throw him some birdseed to get him to stay. We have made a helluva an offer I will be shocked if he turns it down. Our boosters stepped the **** up

And we're going to the Rose Bowl this year**. As a fallback how about the UTSA Coach. Probably be alot cheaper!!

A lot of people that should know say this is incorrect. Guess we will see.

The pissing contest some of you get into just to be the boards best guesser, can be quite amusing.

Our guys really stepped up. The amount of money thrown into our baseball program lately has really been impressive. I'll be shocked if its not done by now

[maroonmania]

Given what happened with Sclhloss during the last hiring, I'm to the point to just being ready for the season to end so we can announce the hire (assuming the deal has indeed been made). We just don't really have an Omaha quality team anyway so I don't want an extended post-season costing us the hire we need to make. I mean, truth be told, if we had made the Schloss hire last time instead of Lemonis the program right now would be in a much, much better place.

[Quaoarsking]

Looking at the UVA boards, there's no indication that anyone is holding out hope on that side.

Amen! As soon as a deal is signed it should be announced immediately. There is zero logic in delaying it until we are finished playing. Do you think the current staff and players don't know that we are conducting an outside search? So who's feelings are you sparing? No announcement means no deal yet no matter what some are claiming.

Right. I can understand the logic of waiting until Tuesday if the team still has a game tomorrow, because no one will be in town anyway, but the announcement should not come any later than Tuesday, whether we have a series next weekend or not. We need O'Connor working the portal immediately, and we need to be able to definitively tell any incoming/outgoing players who the coach is going to be.

We are announcing tomorrow. Everyone needs to calm the 17 down.

Even if we have a game tomorrow night? Are we just going to put out a press release and then introduce him in Starkville Tuesday?

[StarkVegasSteve]

It would probably be Wednesday or Thursday before we had the presser. We have to announce tomorrow because the portal opens tomorrow. Staff and players were informed of it on Thursday.

[KOdawg1]

Correct. I know as State fans, it's in our DNA to expect the worst but everyone needs to chill lol

I also understand the consternation some have because it has been quiet since Thursday of last week.

[Tater]

Yea some people are shocked there's more important college baseball things to cover this weekend than a coaching search that has completed and been reported on, just waiting official announcement. Crazy that something more important could possibly be happening right now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ha! Folks on the inside are feeling the fan tension being applied. The bottom line message from fans: don't 17 this up or we'll being looking at some additional hires.

Ed, you're being a dick on the weekend for no reason in this thread. And trust me, no one truly on the inside "feel the fan tension" from this thread. Turn down the main character syndrome and just watch the game man.

[Coursesuper]

Ha! Folks on the inside are feeling the fan tension being applied. The bottom line message from fans: don't 17 this up or we'll being looking at some additional hires.

Total bullshit here. Way off base. It’s gonna be kinda hard to fire the guys that have run this search.

You are completely ignorant, of everything involved, and it’s 17ing killing you, it’s actually kinda sad.

Being that 1. The university cannot fire the people running the search because they do not work for the university and 2. O?Conner has agreed to terms, I do not think they are feeling anything and certainly not feeling heat.

[Tater]

"Ha - I got a rise out of someone on a message board." is a 15 year old troll mentality. Grow up.

[EdwardDrayton]

The dynamic is changing. Fans are beginning to hold folks accountable for getting the job done. Fans no longer are blindly supporting failure in their sports programs. It's get it done or a fan tsunami will find those who can.

[Coach34]

This is correct. We finally handled things the right way and our Boosters have really stepped up. They have put us back in the Tenn/LSU/UPig group where we belong. I wasn’t sure we would do it and have said so. But our guys really did commit.

As I’ve said- commit to baseball/basketball- survive in football. That appears what we are doing

Wow. This is huge coming from you. Things must really have changed.
That being said, hopefully something next is done for academics. Not sure what happened in baseball or basketball for things to head in the right direction but the same application needs to be applied to the group in charge of running academics/ scholarships/ recruiting there

[Coach34]

Wow. This is huge coming from you. Things must really have changed.

We've had some guys jump back in that hadnt donated in almost 10 years. Money goes alot farther in baseball than the other 2 and these were significant commitments

If we happen to play on Monday it might be a day game I think. We could announce tomorrow after the tournament is over if that is the case win or lose.

I kind of selfishly hope they have a press conference on Friday because I might be able to go.

Exactly, if we put every cent we have into football we would still just be trying to survive. Its just the best we can do against the competition we face in that sport. Basketball is slightly better because it doesn't take that many players, but that is still mostly just about competing. Baseball is the only sport we can truly compete at an elite level in.
