Because apparently after 2 years of some of the worst baseball in MSU history no decent coach will consider us because of Lemonis winning the '21 NC. But if we get a 3rd year of horrendous baseball then they will all line up to interview. I am sort of torn about what we should do but this one point I don't get. Heck, we forced out Moorhead after 2 straight bowl years but we are worried about changing coaches here after missing Hoover 2 straight years? Lemonis did get his first two teams to Omaha but those teams were pretty much built before he got here. He just managed them. And letting a coach go at the end of the season will almost always mean waiting for some other coach to finish their season. That will be true now or if we are in this same boat next year.

We are just in a terrible, terrible position because there has never been a college baseball coach so successful his first 2 years followed up by being anywhere close to this unsuccessful his next 2 years. If the last 2 seasons had been just mediocre then Lemonis would be back no question asked, but are we willing to risk a 3rd straight embarrassing season if we let him stay? Of course we could get another really bad year next year regardless of what we do given the current state of things.
