You're Drunk.
Just hell no
In the most Hollywood of all endings, he sneaks us into the NCAA Tournament and we do what Ole Miss did last year.
We have been outscored 55-8 in the last 3 games. I?m not sure it could get much worse than this shit show.
Not just no and not just hell no, but MF ABSOLUTELY Fing NO.
Also there a literally ZERO rumors that is even a possibility so please stop spreading that crap. I am sure it will show up on Twitter tomorrow that Ron Polk is going to be named the interim on Monday. Lemonis will finish the season however much we may hate it we are going to have to eat shit for about a month and half more. Then we can get rid of his ass along with the rest of the staff.
I've been watching MSU baseball since 1985 and have had family involved in it for long time before I was born.Quote:

There is a lot of pride in MSU baseball as we all know- and certain people are not going to put up with this for long if it continues. When those certain people want changes made- they usually get made. All depends on when they've had enough IMO which it sounds like it might be getting close.
I don't think Polk coming back as an interim would hurt anything at this point to be honest with you.
This is how you completely destroy a program. You make the assumption that it is only fair to let a failure finish the season instead of making a statement mid-season that if you aren?t a winner, don?t come looking for the head job at State. We only hire winners and losers get their ass in the road! Every damn year multi-billion dollar companies cut bait before the SEC rolls in to do an audit! We ain?t a multi-billion dollar company. Time to cut bait and let the ball Boys coach em up. Can?t be worse than this turd!!!
For me- it's the way we're losing.Quote:

On a comparable level.....I think this may be actually worse than Croom was. Right now, I'd rank the worse 3 tank jobs as......
1) Lemonis
2) Ray
3) Croom
Todd I kinda get what your take is about Polk III but I don't see this happening. I think he probably would do it but I don't think this will happen. Now I would make changes right away after this weekend. No sense keeping someone around who want be around at the end of the season anyway. Now days in sports and coaches being fired during the season is no big deal. Do it now and get prepared for the research and hunt for a new staff.Quote:

You get him too involved with program, we?ll have Raffo coaching us next year- because it?s his turn
Hell, let Polk coach em today with jim Ellis as his head assistant. I don't care who we put out the rest of this season as long as it isn't lemonisQuote:

At least it would be entertaining. I believe it would be better than current.Quote:

I joked about Polk and Jay taking over but I really can't see us showing Lem the door until after the season. That would create chaos and hurt any coaching search. Now, an assistant coach? I'd fire him after the weekend.
We just need to be doing work on a coaching hire, so we can be ready to move after the season.
Hmm Gene Stallings come to mind. I don't know the whole back story but he was gone a few years after he fielded one of the best teams in history.Quote:

But not if he is forced to make decisions like you are suggesting.Quote:

I think that was because of NCAA issues. What we have is worse than NCAA issues. It's program destroying issues and needs to be dealt with pronto.Quote:

Justin Haire at Campbell is worth an interview. They win their conference and show up in regionals annually.
Polk and Jim can barely keep up with what inning it is, much less balls/strikes.Quote:

Stallings was implicated, along with athletic director Hootie Ingram, in falsifying the eligibility of Alabama cornerback Antonio Langham during that season. Langham had signed with a sports agent and applied to enter the NFL Draft following the 1993 Sugar Bowl, but was not subsequently declared ineligible per NCAA rules. Alabama officials only declared him ineligible the week before the 1993 SEC title game. As a result, Alabama's football program was placed on three years probation, and docked a total of 30 scholarships from 1995 to 1998. Alabama was also forced to forfeit eight wins and one tie from its 9?3?1 1993 season in which Langham participated, resulting in an official record of 1?12. The Crimson Tide were also barred from postseason competition, including the SEC Championship Game and bowl games, during the 1995 season.[7]Quote:

Arkansas won the West title in 1995, with a last second touchdown against the Tide to claim their first ever victory over Alabama. However, the Tide would have been ineligible for the SEC Championship Game or a bowl game regardless as a result of the NCAA sanctions.
In 1996, Stallings' team won ten games and earned a berth in the SEC Championship Game, where they lost again to Florida, which eventually won the national title that season. Stallings announced on November 23, 1996 that he would resign at the end of the season.
So, yes there were NCAA issues and Stallings hit the road because of it.
Absolutely, there was some "napkin signing" BS that got Bammer clipped by the NCAA... That's a fact.Quote:
