Foxhall fired - official

[calidawg]

Per robby

[StarkVegasSteve]

Officially official. Hot damn....someone's got some balls and brains up there after all.

Also, this basically guarantees Lemonis is going to be in the dugout in 2024

[KB21]

Now, go get Muscara.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Who is Foxhall? I haven't heard that name discussed on here. ***

[Tater]

8-1 to end the season. This is about to be quite the show. Two series too late but 8-1 is what we need. And we have the talent to do it.

Put down the bottle. Hahaha. But this could light a fire. I hope so. Let's go get it!

Lemo was never getting fired. Firing foxhall was always the "fix" moving forward

[msstate7]

Fine with it. Don't think it should get lemonis another year though

[Coach34]

It will.

We dont have the bullpen to win 3 more games much less 8

[Tater]

Rather enjoy hoping for something unrealistic than post on here moping around. With halfway decent pitching the last 3 series we're 6-3 or 7-2. Baseball is an any given day kind of sport. Might as well have fun knowing there's a chance albeit ridiculous. If people don't wanna watch though I don't blame em. But I'm hoping for a better approach and to make a run. We'll see. Get to Hoover and then you control your destiny.

I will not revel in someone else's misfortune......... But, I am glad its over with. He's been walking around with the Sword of Damocles over his head for months.

My only question was who's head was the sword hanging over. I always thought it was Lemonis.

Sooo Bert was right!

[KOdawg1]

I remember being told that it was stupid to fire someone in the middle of a season and that not having a pitching coach could cause us to be worse than we already are.

[BeardoMSU]

This makes me ill...

The fact that he surpassed last year's numbers in 9 less games is pretty damn telling

Indeed. Wtf happened, tho?

Man DawgTalk is going to be fun tonight

Not everyone is Will Bednar or Landon Sims.

[DownwardDawg]

Good. Now fire Lemonis and we have a chance!!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to sandjunky again.

The season is over. It's not in the middle.

[TrapGame]

Still think Lemonis needs to be fired. He can't handle this program. It was gifted to him on a silver platter. I'm getting a lot of Moorhead vibes from him.

[basedog]

I bet this came from Selmon, I wonder if Lemonis would have said no if Lemonis would have been let go. I still don't think Lemonis is out of the woods.

[KOdawg1]

The season is over. It's not in the middle.
It's not officially over though. I was told we couldn't do anything until we were done

[Cooterpoot]

Lemons isn't 100% safe himself. He still has to find a couple wins.

[basedog]

So there is a chance "Bert Stare knows something" LOL

[ZedFedder]

This at least frees Lemonis up to say, "It was his fault!" if we can swing some games here at the end. Who knows? Maybe this turns some things around.

I don't think this changes anything. It certainly can't hurt because we suck so bad, but this is a head coach issue. I guess there's always that chance....
Time will tell.

I highly doubt this came from Selmon. I think this would've happened last weekend had we ended up blowing the Saturday game. I think Lemonis has been ready to do this for a while but didn't think he had the firepower to do it anymore til after the season since we had looked a bit better in the weeks leading up to Auburn and even looked good in the Friday game.

Agreed. I don't think selmon made this call.

[EdwardDrayton]

What do you call a thousand lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean?

[Ranchdawg]

Looks like Lemonis seriously wanted to keep his day job. IMO Lemonis and Gotro need to be on the same bus out of town.

[Turfdawg67]

Was this from our new AD? If not, maybe you shouldn't believe everything you're told? Or are you somewhat vaguely trying to say how right you were, about firing Foxhall weeks ago,... just like 99.5% of the people on this board wanted?

The loss of a good chain??? Gotta be something like that.

I think Lemonis is his middle name and that he and JoMo are really twins.

[Dawgface]

It will.



That's a shame.

[ScooterDog]

Do you think Lemo was waiting until he got a commitment from another pitching coach to fill out the end of season? If not, what are we going to do for a PC for the rest of year?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Naw they all need to go

[EdwardDrayton]

The loss of a good chain??? Gotta be something like that.

A good start ........... kinda like, well, you know

[The Federalist Engineer]

I hear from Cooterpot that Colby Holcombe personally fired him. Told him get his shit and go, after seeming Jay Powell's tweet. I believe Cooterpot because my wife's cousin, has a best friend, that is in-law to a grad student that has a girlfriend in the athletic department that is engaged to a turf science kid that knows a player. ****

Chesebrough is available to coach them.

[Turfdawg67]

LOL! Me too...

[Turfdawg67]

I'm ok with giving Lemo one more year with Foxy gone. Dude did win us a Natty, and no, Tanner & co. weren't coaching that team. Leading it... well, of course.

Yea? you probably right. Lemonis should be able to get us to 14 next year. That would be two spots above dead last. But y?all keep believing in that guy. And he is going to bury this program. That is like thinking if Croom had fired Woody, we would have only lost to Ole Miss 42 to 0 instead of 45 to 0.

Goodness. A NC won by special players sure does make people gullible. He is a snake oil salesman. He has put vinegar in a Woodford Reserve bottle and y?all are convinced it is the real stuff.

I don't think there is a Lemonis fan on this board. To be honest. People just don't think that he will be dismissed. If you can get the Campbell coach for 500k (3x the Campbell salary) then you instantly save 700k per season and rid yourself of Lemons.

But let's get real, Justin Haire would be a new coach and anything can happen. I would expect Haire to be successful.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Like I said in another thread, no head coach ever rebounds from stuff like this. It is over. I would have more respect if he didnt try to throw someone else under the bus.

[Cooterpoot]

We can toss big money at at least one big name coach and get him. We'll do that if we dont win some games to end the season. The money is split on it. Going to be a lot of movement one way to end the season. I hope we win games and hire a pitching coach. But if we lose them, move on.

[Todd4State]

Eh. He should have done this weeks ago. Foxhall knew he was gone.

Foxhall absolutely should be thrown under the bus. He may be the biggest reason why Lemonis loses his job.

[Pancho]

I agree Todd and this is Lemonis fault for not recognizing that Fox was going to get them both canned.

[sandjunky]

Lemonis will be the reason Lemonis loses his job - not foxhall

He?s the one making 1.2M and last I checked he has the title of HC

[TrapGame]

We are about to see how forward thinking and aggressive our new AD really is. Is he a Templeton or is he a Byrne? We're going to find out soon.

In football? Yea. In baseball, coaches tank and then rebound all the time.
Van Horn finished dead last in 2016 with a 7-23 record.
Butch had an overall losing record and 10-20 in sec play in 2021 sandwiched between Omaha in 2019 and 2022.
Kingston went to a super in 2018 then the next year went 8-22 and then missed regionals and now is about to be a top 8 seed.

Not sure if lemonis can pull this out of the ditch, but in baseball it can happen.

[Pancho]

after next year Lemonzchik will have 3 years of sub par 7-23 type SEC seasons. wonder what happens then?

You fire him. I still think there's a small chance he's fired at the end of this year, but I'm not confident whatsoever.

[DawgPoundtheRock]

hand him a for sale sign

Van Horne then won 20 the following season. He did not have twin disasters.

South Carolina is a commuter school. Cannot be compared to MSU. I lived there for while, nice state but you drive around Columbia, it's like visiting Newark NJ and trying to find Rutgers. Their fans are basically Cain and Abel personalities. They are Cain. The weird people that like Ok State in Oklahoma or New Yorkers that like the Mets. Demented and Souless golems basically.
