Nobody was advocating for keeping Lemo after '23 either. C34 called him "Lemonizick" and Todd said we should fire him and make Polk the interim. They only started saying that keeping Lemo in '24 was a good thing after it became clear the AD wouldn't make the move. Ie, they were anti lemo but chose to be optimists and defend the athletic department.

If we make a regional next year, the same AD that wouldn't fire Lemo after 2 years of missing Hoover will make the call. And if that AD doesn't make the move, you can believe those who want to defend the athletic department will chime in with "you can't fire a coach after he showed improvement!" And "yeah the pitching staff was still bad but you've got to give Parker time!".

I agree nobody is advocating for keeping Lemo if he makes a regional as a 3 seed. I'm saying it's very likely our AD will chicken out again, and if he does there will be people defending that decision.
