LORD, HEAR MY PRAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Guys Austin peay is going to be a 2 seed somewhere. Just because northern Kentucky and VMI werent either doesnt matter. School record conference losing streaks and home losses are okay as long as we won 4 years ago. We shouldnt expect any better our baseball program was never any good

[BuckyIsAB****]

Again, its just a matter of time

[trob115]

Time for the bucket to go somewhere else. Past time!!

It was time in 2022, 2023, and it will be in 2024. Just a matter if someone in the athletic dept has the balls to pull the trigger.

I wouldn't have fired him in 2022, but I would have last year.

[KOdawg1]

Can't wait to hear the excuses on this one

[Quaoarsking]

I wouldn't have fired him in 2022, but I would have last year.

Basically the entire fanbase other than Coach34 and the bus driver wanted him gone after last year.

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.

[Coach34]

The guys that write the checks didnt want him gone or he would have been

You could tell he did not have it in 2022 but most wanted to give him a reprieve due to injuries

I was calling for Foxhall to be fired even then. I knew it was a HUGE mistake to bring him back. It's a bit crazy to me because if it's not one thing it's the other. We appear to have fixed pitching and defense and now the hitting and baserunning goes to shit? I mean- LOL.

Let's be honest- the guy won our first NC in 2021. We weren't firing him after 2022 season. We would have looked Texas A&M football stupid.

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?

Yea he turned LSU down but will come here. Cmon Todd.

Let's all cut the inferiority complex and act like a top 10 program. I don't know if Vitello would be interested or not, but we shouldn't dismiss the idea before we even tall to him.

[Duckdog]

Vitello is a scumbag, no

[Coach34]

We're not going to steal a sitting SEC head coach to bring his family to Mississippi unless it's Mizzou's

Is this how you approach real life, with a pessimistic, inferior attitude? I'll never understand that mindset.

At work I hire a lot of people, and while I prefer to hire Mississippians when I can, the state doesn't produce enough qualified and talented people for what I need, so I have to hire some out of staters. And I never let "man, nobody wants to move to Mississippi" stop me from pursuing the best candidates out there.

On a more universal level, my wife was probably out of my league when we first started dating, but I didn't let that stop me from trying. I guess a lot of posters would have let that stop them.

He's hit his ceiling at Tennessee and he is just coming off of a one game suspension there. He may not be very happy there.

No- I just know the business pretty well.

Most coaches dont really want to live in small town Mississippi- no matter how good the job is. We are certainly a Top 20 job- but look at our hires at State:

Polk from Georgia Southern
Promote from within with Mac
Back to retread Polk
Stole Kentucky's coach who was a former player
Hired a Top hitting coach but wasnt a HC guy
Then got turned down by top coaches and hired the HC of Indiana

We simply arent going to pull a sitting SEC HC- just like I told you guys we werent going to pull some other HC from a P5 in football. It's not going to happen. History will tell you what's going to happen most times.

Big name hires we made?

Jackie- he needed us
Howland- needed us
Leach- needed us (wanted to prove himself in the SEC)

All needed us- who needs us in baseball???
