It is indeed a consideration.
I can't tell you how many times people on this board have been wrong.
I can't tell you how many times a player has said if X coach leaves, I leave, and then they stay.
If we hire a coach who can't recruit as well or better than Lemonis, we made the wrong hire.
I would reach out to 5-7 coaches, guys like Dan Heefner. If any shows return interest, make the move.

My opinion hasn't changed. We need a new start. But the team showed they will still play for him and haven't given up. If we win 2/3 against TAMU, and make Hoover, I don't see him getting fired

Certainly believe we can hire someone who can recruit. Are we ready to endure another year or two potentially if indeed we lose players and it takes a year or two to replace them.

Missouri won today. We would have to sweep Aggies probably to have a chance.

I just don't get this argument. Yes short term we may lose some guys but we're probably looking at three below par later classes that are a result of being terrible these two years and possibly next year. Nil may change but right now we can buy players. That might not be the case in three years when we're suffering from our current disaster

And if we win 2/3 I'll be more accepting of him staying if he makes more coaching changes. As previously mentioned today was a win but huge mistakes in coaching were made. That's mistakes. Plural.
-
I think Lemonis has issues at being the head guy but if you get Muscara, that?ll cover a lot of problems.

What mistakes other than pulling Jello to quick?
Polk said it was a good idea Cheese held Led because he would have been toast at the plate.
You play Hugesak over Chance in every situation.
I'll cut him some slack on the Hunt call because Nixon pitched yesterday and you are wanting to hold him for closing. But I can also agree that going ahead and going to him would have been fine as well.

I've been critical of moves he's made since he got here. Some have worked- some make me wonder if he should even coach high school

Much discussion about his future with valid points both ways. It's certainly not an easy decision.
Bottom line: Yes, there's a risk we lose players if we fire him. But there's a risk we lose them anyway even if he stays. I do not have a significant level of confidence he can right the ship. Make the move. And hire someone who can keep the band together a la Arnett when Leach passed away.

Do you think that Larry should have been held as well?

Muscara will be getting HC interest. He ain't coming to be a pitching coach for a guy on the hot seat.
Plus we've supposedly already reached out to some top pitching coach names and been turned down.

The team fought for Lemonis and each other in game 2 and 3. The roster is with him now. You will still have a Landon Jordan or two that is quietly hating everyone but we need to see what happens Vs TAM.
I'm not saying Hoover or bust, I'm just thinking about winning the TAM series.

So if we turn over the roster and don't make a Regional then we are exactly where we are right now. The only way you don't let Lemo go is either you think we are going the right direction, which the last two years is a nose dive to the bottom or we don't have the buyout. One good series in two years doesn't say to me that we are going in the right direction.
I would love to sweep A&M and make Hoover then make a run to a Regional but I just don't see it happening. We still have crap pitching and one of the worst defenses in MSU 150+ year history. Hitting is mediocre and very hot and cold. What about the coaching says we should keep him?
He didn't do anything at Indiana but slightly maintain what someone else built although they weren't as good as the previous coach. We have top ten classes pretty much every year regardless.
We have very few guys that have developed under this coaching staff regardless of position but pitchers have gotten worse.
Lemo won a Natty with someone else's team. I will say he pushed all the right buttons that year but hasn't done it since.
I hope he turns it around but I just don't expect it at this point. The last two years are his teams with his recruits. It doesn't speak well of his development and recruiting when you take a program that is Super Regional pretty much at least every other year and now are fighting to get to Hoover.
Just reminding folks when Canny wasn't sexting in the dugout, he took a team with no pitching like last year and had then 7 outs from Omaha.

Well people look at the direction of the program and see that this year's freshmen are pretty damn good and we have a top 5 recruiting class coming in next year. We get some hurt arms back and can hit the portal for more.

That was on Larry all the way. Watch the replay he never looked at cheese he immediately went back to second
And tagged up. By the time he broke for third was to late to send him and cheese was getting on him about it and lem too.
The minute you see an outfielders numbers you gotta go.
