We may have to revisit this post next year. Ole Miss is losing a LOT this offseason. I think they're in worse shape than us at the moment honestly.

But he won't, because he's an actual decent coach, and decent coaches fix their teams flaws.

Thats kind of the point... Lemonis missed Hoover and did... what exactly to improve the team?
Bianco and Lemonis is a completely different situation. Bianco is their best coach ever. That's going to give him as much leeway as Lemonis if not more. He's going to retire from there- likely in a couple of years or so. Them firing Bianco would be like us firing Ron Polk. I kind of hope they do fire him- the backlash from the baseball community would be awesome.

That was one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen in my life. Cost us like a six year win streak in the Governor's Cup also.

He won a Natty
2022- we had arms blow up and eliminated any chance of a good season. So to me- 2022 didn?t even count.
2023- really poor pitching and some injuries again. Fired pitching coach. Proper response
2024- better make the NCAA Tourney or his ass is fired

This isn?t hard
It really is. It's confusing to me as well. Add in the buyout, optics, and recruiting classes coming in- it really does make sense. I can understand being mad too. But the answer to the solution isn't to always fire the coach immediately. And that's what some people don't seem to get. Lemonis is highly dependent on the performance of his assistants and if they suck we're going to suck. And if he doesn't perform and we have to fire him at least we can say that we gave him every opportunity to fix the situation and that will go a long way with candidates in the future. Baseball coaches are a lot more analytical as a group and a lot of them are Ok being Scott Berry and being seen as a good coach with some conference titles and no National Championships if it's a good fit for them and their family is happy.
