    Negotiations now with Lemon

    We are actually in a real good spot right now as the season has ended and contract negotiations are beginning.

    Lemon has been mentioned as a candidate for the SC job. With 50% of State fans wanting him gone- he cant leverage us with that. We still have hand

    With the season we just had- he has to be extended on some level. Here is where the fight begins.

    Selmon will earn his paycheck on this one.

    Save money and use for football and basketball. Just my two cents. Big thread about it on the other board.

    I'm the opposite. Kill basketball and stay in football for the checks since we will never seriously compete in football. Spend the bank on the sport we can win multiple national championships in.

    And obviously I know none of these things are happening. I'm just always amazed at the dumbasses wanting to drop our most successful sport.

    No extension. He can prove his worth by doing a successful 100% rebuild and get State to a Super in 2025. Or he can go ahead and head back home to South Carolina.

    I'd prefer someone else do the rebuild this time. Now is a good time to start over

    Hate to say it but this isn't such a bad idea. With the emergence of the Portal and NIL there needs to be a fulltime "scout" for each sport that can provide the coaching staff a final list of targetees. This would allow the coach to spend more time on his craft.

    We basically need GMs now. I don't know if a single GM for the entire AD is practical, but I think a single person could manage the big 3.

    He is quickly approaching his "expiration date" with us. How do you have so many roster holes and no depth in year 6, 3 years removed from a NC? What does he do well?

    We need to extend him for the health of the program. That's one of the areas Ole Miss screwed up with Bianco. They didn't extend him after 2021 and it hurt their recruiting because everyone started talking about Bianco leaving.

    Now to be clear- extend him but don't give him a crazy buyout.

    We have fans that think we should give his paycheck to football and basketball?

    It appears so. Despite baseball being the only sport that we have had consistent success in and a definitive culture for.

    That?s the very reason so many care about who the coach is and how they perform.

    I know fans that don't even think we should have a basketball team. Just let football players play basketball as a rec sport, who cares.

    Standup a men's soccer team.

    Todd, we have fans that want to give football and basketball paychecks to baseball. But we’re in the minority.

    It's not complicated. Extend him but not the buyout. Low buyout. Renegotiate after next year if need be.
    Announce publicly an extension to help recruiting and portal.

    There?s someone in every baseball thread that feels the need to tell baseball supporters that we should care more about football and basketball.

    It started with bitching about not being able to go sit in a spot in the LFL then it moved to everything wrong with baseball is due to the LFL and now has settled on de-fund baseball. On 6Pack, I asked a question a while back and never got an answer. I asked if they walk up to random tailgates of strangers during football season expecting to get fed.

    And I'll say this, it is not all people in the LFL. It's a certain sect of people and they really aren't even in LF. They're in RF. There's a couple of rigs in LF, but most are in RF that bitch when people step within 15 ft of their rig. I understand not feeding people, it's your food so you have a say in who it goes to. I think where some people get sideways is when it's Mississippi State fans they are yelling at to get out from behind their rig or not behind the railing the railing, but they're watching these same people that are bitching at them feed opposing fans like kings.

    I sit behind the State dugout with a friend. No one has ever asked me for a sip of my cola or a bite of my Chickfila sandwich, burger or hotdog.*****
