Lemonis
I just want to give a shout out to the best head coach within our athletic program. In my opinion, baseball may be the hardest coaching job to have at our school due to expectations and having to work with a former baseball coach in Cohen. If he performed even remotely close to any of our other coaches he would be fired.
It is so nice to have a staff that has players ready to play, makes adjustments when needed, and demands a high level of play constantly. None of our staffs can say they do all these things consistently, regardless of win/loss. That is why I do not question why and when we do what we do on the diamond / our small sample size of this staff shows they know more than we do.
Also Lemonis is so professional, well spoken, and transparent during interviews. I stay on the radio call every game just to get his take because he always has some hints of wisdom to drop.

According to the players Lemonis is a grade A asshole but they like playing for him. Got a bit of Cohen in him.

And the definition of a hard*** has definitely changed over time too. Our generation would probably just call him mild

Yep, see Andy Cannizaro and the 2017 team. It is amazing what never surfaced about the type of stuff the players were involved in off the field that season. How on earth we made it as far as we did in 2017 is still surprising to me

A hell'uva lot of truth in that statement. The shit our coaches made us do in the 80's would be illegal now.

This is sooooo true.

I said when he was hired he would be our McDonald at Louisville. I really believe it. He’s incredible.

Let’s reduce the WBB staff to federal minimum wage and pay baseball what it’s worth to MSU

I guess you haven't read the book, "Getting the most of your players by being their friend and not holding them accountable," by Rick Stansbury with foreword by SloMo and special endorsement by Nikki Mcray.

Lemon and his staff are doing a great job and recruiting well. Turned out to be a good hire. He can retire from here as long as he doesnt get complacent.

Not sure Stans belongs in the group of Moorhead and NMP. Stans ran off a lot of guys his first 8-9 years. He lost control in the end.

Lemonis is the best coach on campus by a large margin. 2nd best is probably the tennis program.

I wonder what would have happened if Lemonis had wrecked our program like NMP has WBB? How many years would he have got?

Stans was not the A hole most successful coaches are but up until the end he had Robert Kirby to help keep things in check. Losing Kirby as his top assistant while at the same time keeping Renardo on the roster was the deathnail for Stans.
