Lem will be back

[sandjunky]

Well, the idea is that he's not a lame duck and next season we should be improved

So you?re saying State shouldn?t expect to be an elite program - got it

State and its fans are good with mediocrity

The ole poor ol?Mississippi State mindset needs to die and die fast (not saying you have this attitude)

[TrapGame]

This gives me Croom flashbacks.

I didn?t go there simply due to NC

But the past two years have been crxxmtastic

He couldn?t coach or recruit

Well, the guy with the only NC in our history will probably get 1 more season to see if he can get us back into the NCAA Tourney and win games. Nobody is accepting mediocrity. I've always said the expectation every season for our baseball program is to make a Super. That hasnt changed.

[R2Dawg]

Anything less than hosting a regional next year should result in his firing. After two years in a row like this, I'm done.

Making a regional should be the floor for us every year. That is like making a bowl in football. Really should be in contention for hosting at least every year too.

Not making Hoover is like 1-11 in football. Not getting in a regional as a 4 seed is like 4-8. For a baseball program like ours, it ain't much to ask for a regional every year. The past two years are beyond acceptable regardless injuries. Programs like us should just throw another talented guy out there and make a regional.

Yep the NC bought whoever got it a lot of coaching capital. Lemo just used all his up real quick.

Bianco now using his up. His leash might be shorter ironically because they were about to fire him last year till he won it.

[KOdawg1]

Actually a lot of people are, sadly.

No they aren't. If you ask our fanbase, 99.99% will tell you making Hoover isn't the standard.

[Bothrops]

I'm fine with it. Pitching direction will be paramount. I also think we play well this weekend.

Yep. How many top #10 football programs hold on to head coaches with back to back 3-9 seasons?

[BuckyIsAB****]

That would definitely be the Mississippi State thing to do. Sounds like Selmon is fitting in already.

Correct. If he doesnt make the move it better not be because he wants to get comfortable first. A blind man can see what needs to be done

[BuckyIsAB****]

It makes a lot of sense to bring him back if you take everything into consideration with our situation.

I 100 percent disagree

[BuckyIsAB****]

If Missouri and or Georgia win 1 game next weekend, State is eliminated from SEC tourney even if State sweeps A & M. No way he should be back next year. Lemonis is the Author, Editor, and Publisher of the Horror Story. I expect significant Portal entries by key players at end of season whether he is back or not. But we need new blood at the top.

This is the bottom line. All year long the point was make Hoover. You dont make Hoover you gotta go

[BuckyIsAB****]

No one is just OK with going to Hoover.

To me this is like when Dan went 6-7 with an Egg Bowl win and Peter Sirmon as our DC. We all knew that Dan had some success with us and we all knew that Sirmon was obviously THE problem. We all knew that Dan could turn it around with a better DC- which he did in 2017.

I feel pretty confident that Lemonis will turn it around with a new PC.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong but this team has talent to where it can be turned around pretty quickly I think.

It?s not like that at all. The past 2 seasons are equivalent to 3-9.

[BuckyIsAB****]

He makes a regional in 2024 and he will retain his job. We have been a 2 seed many times and gone on to make a Super

He is done. It would be something that has never be done to come back from this. Name a head coach that fired an asst to save his ass that made it back? If he comes back I will have little faith in our admins. Keenum hates OM so much that helps his case, and I get that. But OM is terrible and we are just as bad. With no legit excuses as to why

[Quaoarsking]

If we retain Lemonis, the baseline to keep his job for 2025 should be either hosting in 2024, or at least being in the hosting conversation late.

Sneaking into a Regional is OK on occasion at MSU, but not as the best of a 3-year stretch. It should be, like, the worst in a 5-year stretch or so.

I can live with bringing Lemonis back if he?s committed.

Let me ask coach Lem if he is committed. He says YES! Buy your tickets now! ***

I don't know of a single one.
