Hearing Mike Silva

[KOdawg1]

Is likely our new pitching coach.

Heard it from someone in athletics this morning.

[KOdawg1]

Head coaching experience, MLB scouting experience, but zero P5 experience in any capacity, so that gives me pause.

He supposedly has an ace pitcher he could bring with him so we'll see

[Tbonewannabe]

Head coach at Nichols St?

[MaroonFlounder]

Head coach at Nichols St?

Yes

[KOdawg1]

Here's their ace.

Get this guy and I'm okay with the hire. If not, I don't understand

[Randolph Dupree]

Steve reporting the same thing and saying it's pretty much done. If true, the proof will be on the field next year but as of now I'm very very underwhelmed. We will do what we always do and find a way to talk him up to sell ourselves on a good hire but to me it reiterates we should've bit the bullet this year and canned Lemonis. I hate to be negative Nancy here but this doesn't scratch the itch for me at all.

[confucius say]

Interesting. Was good as the pitching guy at LaTech before spending the last two seasons at Nichols where he has been very good.

Fair points. But what do you not like about the guy?

[Saltydog]

He was the associate H/C for Lane Burroughs at La Tech. prior to going to Nicholls so while not P5 he does have some decent experience. Not the kinda hire most were expecting if true but we weren't going to pull the kinda p/c many thought anyway, not with Lemonis being in the position he's in. BTW, Christian Ostrander doesn't have any P-5 experience either, so there's that.

[Bubb Rubb]

Is likely our new pitching coach.

Heard it from someone in athletics this morning.

It's not done yet. There's someone still playing that we're talking to, but that one is a long shot, I think.

[Cooterpoot]

?We?re looking for an elite guy that?s worked with high-level arms that can develop, not only the pitcher individually, but the staff as a whole − a group that?s tough, that?s chiseled a little bit, that?s competitive,? Lemonis said. ?The individual development day-to-day is huge. I?ve had 1,000 phone calls about this pitching job. This is probably as good of a place to play in America.?

LOL, if some talent doesn't come with Silva, Lemonis is in trouble. Dang, 1000 calls and he makes this hire. LOL, there were no 1000 calls. Nobody was taking this job under this coach on his hot bucket.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Nicholls ERA the 2 seasons before he got there (13 teams in the conference): 4th, 2nd.

His first year they improved to 2/8 (conference got smaller). Year 2 they were 3/8. So he had good numbers at Nicholls, but they were a pretty good pitching team before he got there too and he didn't improve them.

As PC at Louisianna tech (newest to oldest, 12 team conference): 4th, 8th, 2nd. 2 years prior to him: 1st, 3rd. So again, he had good numbers but didn't move the needle above what it was already at.

He seems competent, but no clear improvement at his stops = he's not elite. And that was being compared to lower caliber coaches vs the SEC.

He may be the best hire we've ever made but right now it looks extremely underwhelming.

But like I said, we kept lemonis because A) our new AD shat his pants at the thought of having to do the non-fundraising part of his job, and B) the money men didn't want to fork over the money for the buyout. There is no option of "C) we believe Lemonis + the coach at Nicholls state will get us back to Omaha". Nobody but Todd believes that

Fair. I'd still prefer the AL guy I think.

Steve say he is a candidate or it appears it's a done deal?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Fair. I'd still prefer the AL guy I think.

Steve say he is a candidate or it appears it's a done deal?

I'd DEFINITELY prefer the AL guy. Best staff in the SEC? And at a school with no baseball success? That's better than anything Silva or Walton have done.

If you don?t see that as elite, you?re blind

And remember MIATM

[TrapGame]

So Walton didn't want to be treated for radiation burns by the middle of next season?**

[BigDawg81]

Are we sure? I just heard LSU called him before the ink dried.

[confucius say]

AL.com is reporting that Jackson is staying at AL as pitching coach despite not getting the head job, which went to Maryland's coach.

[sandjunky]

All for it if

He brings his brother Anderson to instill toughness

[Cooterpoot]

I know how he feels. I didn't get the head job after I got married, but I stayed anyway.

[confucius say]

There are a few State beat guys and a baseball commit now following Silva on Twitter fwiw

[EdwardDrayton]

It's pretty much what we expect to get at this stage. No one should have believed we would be able to get anyone of note given our situation. It is what it is now.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yea this is far from over. LSU has muddied the waters there. So obviously those who are saying this guy sucks may want to backtrack a tad.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

He may be amazing but his resume shows he's no better than his predecessor at his last 2 stops. It's also hard to evaluate hos recruiting and evalution as he's not been anywhere long enough to get "hig guys" in.

That said, LSU has a competent coach and lots of money to throw at a PC. Of they genuinely think Silva is the best they can get then that's a strong point in his favor. I won't be heartbroken if we loose him though.

[Cooterpoot]

LSU hasn't offered him their job yet. They are slowing things down is all.

Fair, but the all American freshman pitcher he has this year speaks well of his recruiting/evaluation

[MetEdDawg]

What I have found with our fan base is that it's possible someone can suck and be awesome at the same time and that no matter who else is after said person, 9 times out of 10 they aren't good enough for us.

[AlSwearengen]

Wouldn?t surprise me if LSU takes the coach to get the pitcher. Johnson seems to be the pitching coach at the end of the day (which is probably why he doesn?t keep pitching coaches long) anyway.

And our fans need to chill the **** out a little bit. Just about all of the best coaches had to work their way up and started at smaller schools. If we get him and we suck next year, we can commence the bitching and start looking for a whole new staff. Until then, I doubt anyone really knows how good of a hire it is.

[Cooterpoot]

Jay Johnson is a dickhead. Not a lot of guys want to work for him. But it's LSU too.
A lot smoke screen got wasted to keep this under wraps. Now we're back to the beginning.

[Really Clark?]

Don't think it's going to be Silva. I said yesterday there are paths that have clear up some. With Bama PC staying that clears up things a little bit. See who Memphis hires as HC, etc.

It's all back to Walton. I would expect it to happen pretty fast.

Haha so much for that.

Either Walton or Steve Smith. Lets just get this over with at this point. It really is not going to matter because we will be clearing house May 2024 anyways.

[confucius say]

Been some people pushing hard for it to be smith. Including a few over at auburn.

That doesn't mean it'd be a bad hire. But I'm still guessing Walton.

[Cooterpoot]

We aren't hiring Steve Smith

[confucius say]

We aren't hiring Steve Smith

I know there are some people close to him connected to our program trying to get him hired.
And I think those same people are trying to get people who cover our team to mention his name

[WSOPdawg]

You have to admire the way other schools do things... BOOM, UGA gets Wes Johnson done fast... BOOM, Bama gets the Maryland HC done fast and keeps the pitching coach that we were hoping for... BOOM, LSU still playing and on the way to Omaha does NOT let any grass grow under them and already has reached out to the PC we were targeting (if just to drive his price up).

Our university leadership honestly does not have that ruthless, killer instinct so often needed in the business and athletic world.

We are, for the most part, the Detroit Lions of the SEC all too happy that we keep earning mid-tier has-been bowl invites with many of our fellow brethren all too happy to concede missing Hoover (and the NCAA regionals) two years in a row as the price for the 2021 National Championship in an effort to allow the same leaders and coaches more time to fail yet again in a sport we should NEVER not be a #2 seed somewhere.

Also, the Carnegie Hall of College Baseball was not built to be dormant in late May and early June.

I agree. We've had plenty of time to determine who we are going to offer. We should have gone after them and given then little time to think abx if they said no then on to the next person on the list. This smells like a Cohen process. Trying to be the smartest guy in the room and then we get burned.
The AD better clear house and get guys that know what they're doing in place because it's looking like Selmon has yet to move the needle. I get giving him time to figure out who to push out and who to keep but Clock is at zero now.

We have to be thinking who can you bring with you.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

We have to be thinking who can you bring with you.

IMO that should be at the bottom of the list. Think about it: There's a dozen pitchers on staff, all of them can be improved. We need to evaluate and recruit good kids for the future. Those combined outweigh "who you can bring with you" by a mile to me

Not if you have 1 year to keep your job.

I agree the recruiting and developing is important and should be the primary concern, but if your a coach who knows he has to win now then who you can get immediately is paramount.

We are on a couple potential starting pitchers but we don't know who to tell them the PC will be*******

[StarkVegasSteve]

I said the other day how this was going to end up and now I am even more confident in that. We are going to end up with Kyle Bunn as the pitching coach. Lemonis is yet again in over his head and has now struck out on at least 3 candidates. Making matters worse is Steve Robertson continuing to report on it so whoever the next interview is knows exactly how far they are down the list.

^^^At least a decent possibility at this point but I believe it's going to be someone else right now.

[Saltydog]

Who's the other one we've struck out on? I know Silva and Walton but who else?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Kyle Bunn...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/with-pitching-coach-s-exit-uh-baseball-coach-todd-whitting-poised-to-return-for-14th-season/ar-AA1bRcD5?ocid=hplocalnews

So Bunn just got Foxhall'ed. So we can't even hire guys that are fired? Lemonis might be radioactive.

By the way, UH walked almost 300 batters this year. But still 23 fewer walks than record breaking MSU. 5th best pitching staff in a 8 team conference.

Compared to MSU, everybody looks good. UH only had 255 OBA in-conference compared to 300 OBA (SEC) at MSU

Looking at those conference stats, makes me think that Mike Pelfrey of Wichita is the man you want. MLB experience. All American Collegiate Pitcher. He's like a Jay Powell, but for the Shockers.

The thing I don't get is why Cohen was feeding him info in the first place

Like I get ADs using reporters to control the narrative, provide a smokescreen, test a name woth the fanbase etc, but Rosey didn't use his info in ways that helped the university. He uses any info or rumors he gets to immediately get clicks. I just don't get why Cohen would keep feeding him specifically

Imo, it was because Cohen felt he needed steve on his side when things went wrong. Control the narrative. Manage the messaging when things were bad. And there is value to being able to get your message out in the way you want it distributed, even if that gets clicks for Steve.

This stuff needs to stay quiet. Rosey needs to report when ink is dry and stop speculating along the way. We as fans need to learn some patience and self control. It is fun to make lists and do hypothetical searches but we need to tone down the rhetoric when we don’t like someone. Message board info, correct or incorrect, makes its way to twitter, facebook, and is sometimes reported as news. We aren’t lsu where we just throw more money at the issue. We have to learn to play it cool. Do like Byrne and be a ninja when trying to make hires.

Well hopefully this is a learning lesson for Lemonis just like it was Arnett. DO NOT LEAK INFO. Especially to Steve Robertson. He will blab the second he gets in front of a computer.

Parker is interested just nobody knows how much. If I'm Lemonis, I wouldn't give him a BJ, but I'd put it in my mouth and keep it warm. He's at the do crazy shit for the prize point now.

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!

Apparently, Parker has the contract and waiting for his signature. Also, LSU is muddying the waters again. We will see.

[confucius say]

Why would Parker leave USC/Miami with Kingston? He has stability there.

Doesn't want to live in Miami is the rumor

[BigDawg81]

Doesn't want to live in Miami is the rumor I?m sure we will overpay him

[CaptainObvious]

I?m sure we will overpay him

Well Hell. We have been overpaying the entire Baseball Staff and a couple of 7th year seniors for 2 years. Overpaying for an average PC will be a step up from over paying for an entire mediocre staff.

[confucius say]

I?m sure we will overpay him

We better if that's what it takes.

I am not a fan of Steve by any mean but you cannot blame Steve for everything. Steve doesn?t work for the university or the athletic department . Steve works for 247 sports and owns the Mississippi State 247 page. He might hinder somethings but he should not stop the hiring process. I don?t know what is going on with Parker but blame should go to Lemonis, Selmon and the boosters for allowing Lemonis to continue being the baseball coach.

Money is no object and what helped get us in this mess.** I think Keith Carter gave us advice on Lemonis contract.****

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

So people come here to say names, Steve reads the board and coppies us, and it's Steve's fault for putting the name out there?

Shouldn't the blame be on those who are posting here just as much as it is Steve?

[confucius say]

I doubt Steve's source is ED

But regardless, if names are leaked it's either coming from the baseball office or the candidate. I doubt it's the candidate.
