There will have to be a change in booster mentality along with a really good hire for it to matter though.Quote:

Some of it is the cycle in the SEC. Auburn has had a lot of coaching issues the past few years. LSU has changed coaches but Kelly has them going. Arkansas has been relatively unstable. Texas A&M just now decided to fire Jimbo and was awful against Ole Miss. We've been unstable as well.Quote:

Even if you consider him a bust we're still at a higher rate hiring a guy with head coaching experience. With the bust being a guy who won 9 games and led us to our biggest win in school history in a completely different era of college football.Quote:

But not everybody cares about JV sports like baseball.Quote:

Precisely. To do otherwise is ignorant. Our football program is what it is.Quote:

Not sure how good his info anymore but that's just something out there.
Didn't say one thing about defunding baseball. But I also don't believe that it should be a huge money sink either. Football is the money maker and it is the only money maker. Therefore it deserves to command most of the attention. Because lets be honest. Other than a sign on the OF fence and some flags around the stadium, what did the baseball natty do to move the needle of the Mississippi State University athletic department?Quote:
