Agreed. It's like paying to replace the transmission of an old high mileage car with a blown head gasket. It's probably smarter to just scrap the car

Please stop using the excuse of keeping the recruiting class together. You bring in a top coach, he keeps it in place. However now we have two and possibly three years to make up now.
Really concerns me with Selmon. Can he make the smart/ tough decisions? I hope so. This won't make me lose faith just yet but things should start falling into place fairly soon if he's as good as yall say.
Steve put up a new update about 2 hours.

Back to this again. Lemonising along, nothing to see here.
Either we want someone who's still playing, or Lemonis is screwing this up like he has the entire program for the last 2 years.
When they present a dude from Eastern Illinois Tech College that Dan MacDonnell "recommended" ... then Buckets should be immediately dismissed, just let Goat coach for 2 years and hire Cannizarro to coach hitters.
I would take that horny SOB back tomorrow. Yes I know it will never happen, but he would have us rolling in a month. And hey, Lee Begley is not here anymore so we have eliminated that distraction.
In all honesty we all know how this is going to end, Bunn will be hired and Lemonis will be fired next May.
We just have to wait a little bit for the landscape to clear. Walton is definitely in the mix, have to see how other jobs shake out. Hopefully we can get a formal interview with SC pitching coach soon and see if we can pry him away.
We may have gotten Haire. He just turned down a job that is similar in resources to Florida and a place he could have won a title at if he kept the local talent. A lot less likely going to come here if we show that we'll fire you without giving a coach a chance to make changes. Not to mention we now have more money to work with now for next year. Butch? OK. You can't complain about Walton in the regionals this year and then be OK with Butch.
And who said we can't hire a great coach? Being able to hire a great coach doesn't give us a hall pass to mismanage our program.
Walton has a mediocre resume and they shat the bed in the postseason. Butch has made Omaha several times, got his teak a host spot this year, and they shat the bed this postseason.
One is mediocre full stop. The other has achieved excellent results and faltered this one postseason. They are not the same.
LOL Todd YOU are the one saying we can't hire a great coach! You've been saying over and over and over again if we fired Lemo we couldn't get anyone, but if we let him F up the program another year we will and that's why we should keep him.
You know youve been saying this, and you just keep contradicting yourself and backtracking.
And how dare you say we "haven't given Lemonis a chance to make changes"? He's in his 5TH YEAR, this is his team and his coaches. And he's missed Hoover twice now; this season WAS his chance to make changes and he failed to do so. No HC goes "I will not coach at a place that expects me to field a solid team in year 4 and 5, I need more time!" Every HC believes in themselves to have us rolling by then. They want assurances of 3-4 years to get going, not 6.
