    If you could keep Gotro or Lemonis, who you got.

    I honestly would rather ride this out with Gotro. There is no way he's staying another year if he has a good offer out there. Gotro has been apart of multiple CWS teams with multiple HCs and he was ultimately responsible for our team the Cann canned year. We have no shortage of hitting talent. There will also not be a better experienced assistant on the market. Get the best PC when can possibly get and let's roll. Eliminates part of the $6M equation too.

    In what way do you think he was ultimately responsible for the season after Cann was fired?

    Well we're now 12th in the sec in hitting. Conference games only.

    I totally agree for the last two seasons Gotro has been less than stellar hitting coach imo. There are multiple players that did not progress very much under him. And his coaching of down two strikes in the count and either ground out or pop up has really grown very very old with me.

    I have never like Gotro. Our approach sucks. Watch a FB go by, swing at a ball, then watch another FB. We are either super agressive or super conservative. Like I have stated numerous times, how many times have we been no hit or damn near no hit? We used to have the pitching to mask it a lot. Now we don’t and we are getting manhandled all the way around…

    He might be a better HC than a hitting coach. He is the best recruiter we have.

    I would prefer to keep neither but if we must keep one then I suppose keep Jake. I would even be open to him being the HC IF AND ONLY IF he brings back Cann to be hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. And since that is in no way happening lets just clean house.

    Since the natty, we're 50-53 (15-39), and you might as well add another loss to both. If this is what our recruiters are getting, see ya

    Since the Natty we are also playing with the recruits we got from the constant shuffle at HC. It's not a coincidence our best players have been among the portal players. Our freshman class this year is very good. And next year's is supposed to be better

    and aGAIN I'll add- I'm not a big Lemonizik fan. But I will be fair to the guy. He earned that

    Don't even care. Clean house. This stretch is unacceptable IMO

    Jake, no question. The re-hire Andy as hitting coach/cruits, then let Jake hire a pitching coach. Keep Cheese for stability. (for a year)
