    He's already better than Moorhead. That's not even a question.

    Seems like a good decision to me. The money needs to be put into the 3 sports that make money.

    Basketball doesn't make money. Title 9 requirements prevent schools form doing it also. Now, our football is bad, basketball is bad, baseball is disappointing to this point. Give me a final four in any sport. Give me a World Series. I just want to win. Watching us lose or run middle of the pack bores me at times. And that extra $500K you save won't change a damn thing.

    They should come out with some specifics on what agendas are being pushed. Sunlight is the best disinfectant let the donors and fans know what's going on and where their money is going.

    You think saving .01% (this is the high side of what was supposedly requested by those 2 coaches) of our athletic budget would have had any type of negative impact to our revenue sport’s? Let’s be real now. I don’t have a problem with letting one of them walk/fired because it was time to make a change but penny pinching to that degree is LT like.

    We have one of the best golf facilities in the country - so that means the W Golf coach asked for more money? Sounds like we made a good move to hire a coach for whom money won't be an issue, and got a 2 for 1 deal with his LPGA star wife as a volunteer assistant coach.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    I said "so far". If it hasn't been disappointing to you thus far, then great. I expect more from the one program on campus that should always have high expectations.

    No. The women's golf coach wasn't let go for any of the above.

    Men's hoops makes money. Then in turn it gets gobbled up and then some by what we spend on women's.

    That's what the OP seemed to be insinuating - that one of the 2 coaches who recently left for facilities, the other wanted more money, and she was the most recent coach to leave I could think of.

    What?

    In Lemonis's only completed season, we went 20-10 in the SEC, hosted and won a Regional, hosted an won a Super Regional, and made it to Omaha. It was arguably our best season as a program since 1990, unless you put a whole lot of weight in coming in 2nd in Omaha (after 16-14 in the SEC) vs. 5th.

    That doesn't mean he'll continue to be great, but so far he's exceeded any reasonable expectations, even the high ones we have here.

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    That's fine, but you were discussing all the sports programs and their status as a reflection on Cohen...
