Baseball Hot Board

[The Federalist Engineer]

Then why in the hell did we hire him? He's the Director of Athletics which baseball falls under. It's part of his job, a major part here with baseball, to have to hire coaches. If he indeed did say that what a clown, and we are a clown show for hiring him.

He's more comfortable with football? He hired a shitty football coach. So just fire Selmon too. Wreck his resume like he messed up MSU. I don't want this dude picking the next baseball coach anyway.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Just spent 3 games watching UGA and Auburn sitting with some of their big donors. Their consensus is that Coggin is the next great coach and will be gone after this year or next. Charlie Condon gives him huge praise for helping produce the season he had last year - and I heard that straight from Charlie's Dad (yesterday happened to be Condon Bobblehead day and he threw out the first pitch). Their big transfer Zaborowski (who is hitting .440 with 14 HR) came specifically to work with Coggin.

Watching him for 2 days - I think he's there. People may not want to give it to a first time guy - but he's going to be very good and if it's not us, I think we will wind up regretting it.

I'd be ok with Coggin(s) or Elander(s). Rather have Wes Johnson or Rob Vaughn though.

There is more prestige as far as baseball is concerned at MSU. He won't have to compete with football as much as far as booster support goes at MSU. And we can pay more if we really want him.

We could not pay more in a bidding war. NIL era Bama a better job especially from a Coaches point of view. Just is.

[AlSwearengen]

I need to be convinced that Coggin shouldn?t get a very hard look and be in the first small group of candidates. Kentucky is back in the shitter and Ga is in the top 5 and raking. He gets high praise from Rooker and Lowe, as well as others.

[cheewgumm]

I could not disagree more that Bama baseball is a better job than State.

How?

That is insane to me.

You guys are totally discounting fan support and field, which you shouldn?t.

I hope Selman doesn?t think like this, because it is wrong.

Money is one thing. Money ain?t everything.

[sandjunky]

Coggin has a far better resume than Cann did when we hired him - and we have people who still want that clown back.

I?d take that clown (2017 version) over what we have now - he could at least identify SEC talent

No it?s not.

Unless you like playing on front of 5 k most days.

Maybe not now but the people in Alabama are starting to wake up to what they could have and they have the resources to make it happen

And the field to HS players and portal players matters much less today - it?s about $ and who can provide me the best opportunity to get to the next level

What good does the field and fan experience provide if the coaches don?t help me get to the next phase of my career?

According to what?

All they care about is football and now basketball.

According to the HS coaches I?m around and know throughout the state

I don?t think what he said is necessarily a bad thing. All good leaders know where their expertise lies and where to bring in outside help. All of them.

My biggest gripe every single coaching search is reading about how we have boosters and good ole boys and everyone in the AD ear. If Selmon ends up saying Baseball isn?t my expertise and I am doing a full professional national search with outside help and they all report up to me with facts and recommendations then I am ecstatic. That is the way coaching searches should be run.

[cheewgumm]

There won?t be 15k people at a. BAMA baseball game in o ur lifetime .

This is nonsensical.

How do I do a HUGE eye roll emoji?

We should compare MLB draft picks then.

Let me know what you find.

[cheewgumm]

I?d call the Bama coach and give him one offer.

If he said no, I?d tell him have fun playing in front of 4-5k people every day. Enjoy it.

When he?s ready for the big time, call us.

You can pay all the players you wants there will still be 5k in the stands ( see Tennessee).

[cheewgumm]

Bottom line

1- we had the most players drafted last year of any school (I think. Or were one of the top)

2- we have the best stadium

3- we have the most fans

4- we are competitive NIL

5- have the best or one of best traditions

If Lemojis can?t sell that and make us champions them GTFO.

It's crazy to me that the same people who shit on the number of fans at a baseball game also bitch about the lack of fans at football games. If there is one thing msu supports 100%, it's baseball. And we shouldn't be ashamed of it. I don't even care that way feed the other team. We've created an environment at baseball games that others should envy.

[cheewgumm]

To add?

If we wanted the little guy at Georgia I?d tell him the same thing.

They average 3k fans.

Pathetic.

They are not serious about baseball.

If he thinks UGA is a better job, he?s delusional.

It?s the same president that was so lazy he didnt have an AD to hire a coach when Leach passed. The rest is shit history
