Sunday Morning Thoughts-Hello Darkness My Old Friend

[Todd4State]

This is the problem right here. You consider consistent success going to bowl games in football and going to the World Series in baseball. No one else in this league considers that a success. Our in state rival is winning 9.5 games a year under their current coaching staff and now have the worst baseball program in the conference. Those are the sacrifices you make if you want to be a big boy program. You don?t go cheap in the sport that matters to make sure baseball can compete financially. The expectations should have been flipped for those 2 sports 50 years ago. No, I?m not ok winning 7 games a year in football and propping up baseball. The fact that you are is the problem. Obviously, we can?t kill baseball. We are at the minimum number of sports at the school. It should be slashed with funding and the baseball lovers should be required to carry it financially though.

I didn't say that we were hitting our ceiling with any of those coaches. I said we had success with those coaches. What Ole Miss has accomplished with Kiffin and their 15-20 million dollar team is literally no better than what we accomplished with Dan or Jackie. Dan Mullen averaged around 7.5 wins a year at MSU. Lane Kiffin is only averaging a little over 8.1 wins at Ole Miss. I did some rounding there because I did it in my head but as you can see it's really not that much different. And really the only true marquee win they have had is the one that they had over Georgia.

Also- we just won 17 SEC games in baseball. We are a far cry from the worst team in the SEC.

And no I'm not the problem. I was one of the ones that said we needed to do a National Search instead of hiring Arnett. I said that hiring Barbay was a major risk. In fact had your little booster friends LISTENED to me instead of trying to get their access football would be much better. So, YOU are the problem because you have no clue how to win at anything and clearly have no idea what the hell you are talking about based on the FACTS. But by all means keep listening to the people that burned this down to start with and take their advice on how to put this fire out.

And I will edit this to say this- the "baseball AD" who you blame left us a football coach that won 9 games before that coach passed away and several memorable wins in three years. It wasn't baseball or Cohen that ****ed things up after that now was it? Because Cohen was at Auburn when Leach passed away. Riddle your booster friends that shit while they blame people like me while they're holding the smoking matches in their hands.
