Well Parker is 3-0/

Money/Access is fighting baseball knowledge/MLB dawgs

For 17s sake?what college can we pull for that doesn?t operative on 1950s thinking?

[Brobi-wan]

Crazy some people think access is better than winning. That’s some micro-c*ck energy.

[sandjunky]

I fully expect MSTATE to MSTATE UP this next baseball hire - the school and the people pulling the strings just can?t help themselves

[Todd4State]

I think the question we should be asking is what can we tangibly do to stop them?

I'm at the point where I don't even want their money because what's the point if they're going to **** it up.

Money/Access is pushing Parker

MLB Dawgs are pushing hiring a GM/Portal Staff and fundamentally changing the program to make it Top 5

Selmon is waiting on being told what to do

So basically pull for Ole Miss?

[Coach34]

But make no mistake- Selmon's job in no way depends on this baseball hire because he aint making it. He is just being told what to do

so he has no pressure

Is Access what doomed Lemons? Not losing?

Seems that access is a small ask. I would host a weekly meeting with the bonus cash guys and make them feel like GMs. Show them videos of Portal kids I like. Joke about development issues. Make the board-of-access feel like part of the family. Ask them to scout people. Give them jobs like watching Cape and SoCon games. Take them with me and ask them to inspire the boys before small games. Let them take BP with wild and electric freshmen pitchers. Wear them out with access until they are sick of it. That's what I do with micro managers, take advantage and then wear them out. I bet Vitello answers every call Payton Manning gives him. Calls him to vent and discuss strategy. Until Payton tells him, "I trust you bud, get Liam Doyle, I'll pay the NIL."

I hate that I was born into this fandom.

"Pushing Parker"

Does this mean the donators want Justin Parker as the next coach?

Just a thought, it's a smart move to push this logic to the world. You want this season to count for something and the team fight for each other. Also to counter the fake press that will hype all real and imagined candidates.

[Todd4State]

This kind of shit is exactly why I didn't want to fire Lemonis in season. What did we really get? An extra win over Kentucky? Great.

Was it really too much to wait three weeks? ****!

The problem is these are the same people that put Cohen in charge as AD. And then led the charge to hire Arnett.

It's all good to them though. They get their access and get to remain anonymous while things burn down because Keenum's going to take the blame for them when it doesn't work out.

Our only hope is that their track record is used against them. Which is basically 0-fer. AND that our MLB guys money is enough to offset theirs. Meaning guys like Papelbon and Will Clark might have to make some football donations soon.

Exactly. Access is not hard to grant.

I guess I'm shocked people aren't seriously considering Parker as a long term replacement. Some folks were calling for it last year. He's got 9 years as an assistant with qualified familiarity in the conference. Hes got way more proven coaching experience than Elander.

Guy has a serious track record as a pitching coach that develops talent. You look at the talent development on his end and you can't question what he's done at his stops developing guys. And his demeanor is pretty solid.

I guess I don't see reasons why Parker can't be successful. I see more people saying it would just be lazy and there's possibly better out there. I see O'Connor's name and yes he's got a good track record it's. He's also closer to 60 than 50 and may not make the field of 64 this year.

Henderson was 57 when he became interim. Nothing like Parker.

I'm with you man. People forget how big of a hire he was for us and he's the only reason we made the postseason last year and will be this year as well.

To most people access/power is the success

You can actually have both. Parker would be your pitching coach and you add a GM of player recruitment.

Why not try for someone who has been a head coach for years, including multiple trips to Omaha and a national title, first, and then fall back to Parker if nothing else works out? Why think small?

[HoopsDawg]

Parker is not going to be the coach. Our next coach is going to be:

1. O'Conner
2. Butch- hard to believe but very possible
3. Pollard
4. Kansas coach
5. Oregon coach

If all of that fails, it will be Elander.

I've heard some other names too. But we'll see.

The only thing that is for sure is it's very much up in the air at this point.

Because Parker guarantees that you can hang out with the players.**
