He did great with someone else's recruits and now struggles with his own recruits. He is at the bottom of the SEC standings with a clear plan to in fact stay there. If this is what MSU baseball now desires to be, then keep him.

So what's the price the following year...$4MM? I guess we're stuck with this crew until their contract runs out.

A young man named Jake Mangum says hi. He was on all these teams. Shows what a special group of guys Mangum, Cole Gordon, TA, Rowdey, and MacNamee where.

If he stays, hope Selmon can negotiate a much better buyout. It may be needed during or after the 2024 season.

If it's not enough our championship program is two years bottom dwelling, now we're too poor to boot the people that unbelievably made that happen.

Yes, let's hope so. If I was Lemonis, after putting this proud program at the very bottom of the conference for 2 straight years right after 3 straight trips to Omaha, I would be too embarrassed to expect a full buyout.

He'll deal with the embarrassment while the teller deposits the full buyout.

Really, umm no. It will be a full or negotiated buyout but will damn sure not be a bargain.

These guaranteed contracts that have no tie at all to how you perform are for the birds.

Nobody is going to accept less. We are very unlikely to pay $6MM in dead money in a Biden economy. Plus more to get a new staff.
Lemon has a Top 10 recruiting class and that will likely save him

2 Losing seasons should be a breezy of duty in any contract and if a coach isn't willing to be confident enough for that not to happen, than he ain't our guy.

Guys I will just be completely honest with you. I do not know if there is a quick fix to this. We are as bad culturally as we have been since the beginning of Cohen. I am afraid we are almost going to have to completely purge this roster outside of 3 or 4 guys. This is beginning to look like a 2-3 year rebuild at the earliest. As much as I know it is going to sink us for the next 2 years I think we need to go ahead and pull the plug on this before it gets worse. Because while we are very near the bottom I do not think we’ve hit rock bottom yet.

Explain the problems with this team's culture

We have no leadership and in the words of Julius Campbell, Attitude reflects leadership. As far back as I can remember we have had 3 or 4 clubhouse leaders on our teams. Whether that be a Will Clark, a Tommy Raffo, a Travis Chapman, a Mitch Moreland, a Conner Powers, a Hunter Renfroe, a Manniscalco, or hell even a Brooks Bryan

We hustle
We dive for balls
We congratulate guys for good plays
We pay attention to coaching signals
Yes- we do dumb shit
The culture isnt bad except that Alford should be run off. Pitching is this team's problem. Got to fix it

We also run into each other in the outfield
Run into each other in the infield
Have no clue how to lay off a breaking ball
And yes, we do dumb shit.
Do agree that Alford needs to go but our problems are far beyond just pitching.
