Lemonis is solid. And he's recruiting well. He has shown what he can do with talent.
We get the benefit of hindsight and to be fair some guys were right.
But man - winning our only natty... that combo deserved two more shots. It's amazing to fire the assistant of the year as quick as he did. If Lemonis is a true genius with foresight - yea he fires Foxhall and gets Parker in 2022 and we're probably still on our run of Supers every year. But there's no way you can reasonably justify not giving Foxhall two more chances.
Only thing he could have reasonably done was fire Foxhall earlier in 2023. Vandy series was probably the earliest he could have done it. Maybe we turn it around and win a few more and get back into the playoffs instead. Only other reasonable spots were after SCar series and after Auburn series. I don't think firing him after auburn gets us a W in the UTk series the next weekend and then he was gone.
I don't think 0-6 or 1-8 were realistic holes to climb out of without Foxhall that year though.
