Even if Lemonis turns it around and makes a Regional here, he's not doing anything special. We have enough advantages that any halfway decent coach should be successful here. It's not like football, where we have to find a unicorn and beg him to stay.
Everett will just kiss the next guy's ass. I have never understood how our why our university allows him to run his mouth. But then again I haven't really seen him say too much since the "spoiled" comment. So maybe MSU did say something. An MSU "representative" and I use that term very loosely threatening to fight our fans is a pretty bad look. Not to mention Everett has to be in his 70's-80's now. There is a chance that someone is crazy enough to take him up on his offer and hurt him pretty bad. It's not like he's exactly hard to find.

The thing about just making a regional is it gets into such a gray area. If we go 12-18 in SEC play and just make a regional that probably isn't good enough for him to warrant staying. If we go 20-10 in SEC play and just make a regional I'm guessing we would keep him. I think there are some other possibilities here too- he appears to be really stressed out. It wouldn't completely shock me if he just resigned or took another job even if it's at a smaller school in South Carolina.

Speaking of guys that write checks I just so happened to notice that Tony Vitello's buyout decrease by 500K after June 30. Just saying. Maybe the guys that write the checks know what they're doing after all when they kept Lemonis?
