    I don't think any of us are saying anything like that. DO think about the ramification to the program. DO think about how the search will turn out. Make a change after considering those options. Talk to some candidates before making the decision, and then make the change once we have someone.

    You spent most of the season advocating for a change just like me, even naming Justin Haire at Campbell as your favorite, and now at the end, you suddenly are back on the Lemonis train? Why? What did Lemonis show at the end of the season that he didn't show all along?

    You in no way, shape, or form EVER talk to candidates while you still have a sitting head coach. Good lord, try not to be idiotic. You maybe talk to their representation, although most baseball coaches do not make enough to warrant representation. Again unless you have a Corbin, Vitello, or O’Sullivan type hire waiting then wait til next year. Lee the buyout drop and push your chips to the middle of the table on Vitello

    I've been saying that he was going to likely come back for the vast majority of the year. The only time I ever thought he might be in serious trouble was after Arkansas where we looked awful and I thought that we were going to tank the rest of the year like last year. Then a few days later like right before the LSU series I heard he was coming back.

    I only mentioned Justin Haire in the context of "if" we were to make a change which wasn't obvious several weeks ago when the season could have turned one way or the other.

    The only reason I think he should come back is because of the context of what would be best for our baseball program in the long run. If he comes back and turns it around great. If he doesn't after another year we've put ourselves in a better position to hire a replacement and minimize long term damage. Selmon isn't going to go behind Lemonis's back making sure that we have a commitment from someone else before we fire him. That's an incredibly bad look and that's going to get out in the baseball community very quickly.

    With our talent, our recruiting, and the portal- we can turn this around very quickly with even a decent hire at pitching coach. That's essentially what happened to us between 2015 and 2016.

    And yes- we can rebound from three straight poor seasons. MSU had maybe it's best 10-11 year stretch after 2008-2010 which were three straight losing seasons.
