Lemons doesn't win today. He would've left Ligon in too long. Then he would've put Stone in instead of Davis and let Cupp get some reps in.Quote:

I guess I'm shocked people aren't seriously considering Parker as a long term replacement. Some folks were calling for it last year. He's got 9 years as an assistant with qualified familiarity in the conference. Hes got way more proven coaching experience than Elander.
Guy has a serious track record as a pitching coach that develops talent. You look at the talent development on his end and you can't question what he's done at his stops developing guys. And his demeanor is pretty solid.
I guess I don't see reasons why Parker can't be successful. I see more people saying it would just be lazy and there's possibly better out there. I see O'Connor's name and yes he's got a good track record it's. He's also closer to 60 than 50 and may not make the field of 64 this year.
Henderson was 57 when he became interim. Nothing like Parker.
Y'all are doing it again....
Parker won't be our next head coach. And he shouldn't be. C'mon people.
He's 54 which is closer to 50 than 60.Quote:

He'd be an elite hire. Let's not try to downplay it.
Yep. This team is the playing better but there is so much more to running a program. Today’s environment is even more challenging requiring a completely different approach than the current system. This requires a major overhaul to really move things forward.Quote:

I fully expect MSTATE to MSTATE UP this next baseball hire - the school and the people pulling the strings just can?t help themselves
I think the question we should be asking is what can we tangibly do to stop them?Quote:

Money/Access is pushing Parker
MLB Dawgs are pushing hiring a GM/Portal Staff and fundamentally changing the program to make it Top 5
Selmon is waiting on being told what to do
So basically pull for Ole Miss?Quote:

so he has no pressure
Is Access what doomed Lemons? Not losing?Quote:

Take them with me and ask them to inspire the boys before small games. Let them take BP with wild and electric freshmen pitchers. Wear them out with access until they are sick of it. That's what I do with micro managers, take advantage and then wear them out. I bet Vitello answers every call Payton Manning gives him. Calls him to vent and discuss strategy. Until Payton tells him, "I trust you bud, get Liam Doyle, I'll pay the NIL."
I hate that I was born into this fandom.

Just a thought, it's a smart move to push this logic to the world. You want this season to count for something and the team fight for each other. Also to counter the fake press that will hype all real and imagined candidates.
This kind of shit is exactly why I didn't want to fire Lemonis in season. What did we really get? An extra win over Kentucky? Great.
Was it really too much to wait three weeks? ****!
The problem is these are the same people that put Cohen in charge as AD. And then led the charge to hire Arnett.Quote:

Our only hope is that their track record is used against them. Which is basically 0-fer. AND that our MLB guys money is enough to offset theirs. Meaning guys like Papelbon and Will Clark might have to make some football donations soon.
Exactly. Access is not hard to grant.Quote:

If all of that fails, it will be Elander.
I've heard some other names too. But we'll see.Quote:

Because Parker guarantees that you can hang out with the players.**Quote:
