Lots of chatter so some may need to brace themselves

You guys really don't know ball if you would hire any assistant over Elander.

You guys really don't know ball if you would hire any assistant over Elander.

I think he would be a MAJOR risk for us honestly. I think he will be a good head coach but I think our job is simply too big for him.

Also, in SEC play they are hitting 10 points lower than MSU is right now and they are 15th in the SEC in defense and I wonder how much of that is on Elander?

We also don't know who is pitching coach would be- likely would keep Parker if I had to guess- and he has never managed a game before.

Based on their stats this year there isn't much difference between Elander and Jake Gautreau.

It just feels like Elander is a guy that MSU would hire and it would get praised at first and then he would implode. And then we're right back where we started and wondering why we didn't notice some things earlier.

Exactly and if this is booster driven (which I have no idea why the hell Selmon would listen to those boosters anyway) I'm sure they would agree to Coggin at head coach and Parker as pitching coach.

Well I've got news for you this is very booster driven, just not by the ones who gave us the current shit show. These guys know baseball and are still very connected to it.

I'm good with those boosters.

For now.

I assume this is referencing former players perhaps that are now boosters? If so, that's a good thing I guess.

If it was the Madison boosters they would be pushing Parker and saying that we need to keep him to keep the recruiting class together.**

Yes, to an extent but they all have been connected to the program. One of our biggest issues that many former players have not been close enough to the baseball program for one reason or other. This is something that has to be addressed and quickly, the days of a developmental program are gone it’s a pure and simple arms race now and we need every available penny.

Aaron Fitt from D1 Baseball thinks Mark Wasikowski is the guy we will ultimately hire.

Is there not a top tier coach named Smith or Jones available? 😂😂😂

I'm not sure we have anyone at State who could pronounce this guys last name! Can we give him a nickname like Coach K got? Maybe Coach Ski!

[Coach34]

If 750 is all the cheddar, then there is not any ACC HC coming. Coggin it is with Parker next man up.

He wouldn't be worst guy on the list, better than the ASU bum or the Wake Forest duffer.

I’m not saying that is all we will pay. I’m saying that is what we would rather pay given the choice. We are poor. We are having to rely heavily on our boosters to fund all this. Got to pay Lemon off. Cheese. GoTro. Parker as well if he is not retained. Then start paying the new guys.

Can we pay 1.5 per? Yes but we really don’t want to

I'd go with Coach Was.

[Commercecomet24]

I agree as he would be a good hire also. Hope all is well with you!

Yes sir! Doing well, hope y'all are too! Hope Cade is recovering well and about ready to go again!

[ZedFedder]

I would not be upset with the Oregon coach.

[KB21]

Aaron Fitt also mentioned Chris Pollard, but he also says that Chris really likes living in Durham and may not want to uproot his children.

Wasikowski? This dude was expelled from school for cheating during a frat competition.

I could see it. Makes about 700K at Oregon. We could pay 1MM per with incentives to give him a nice raise and saves us money

[Cooterpoot]

If you think it?s not being considered, better think again. There?s some smoke behind it.

No there isn't. Not even an afterthought

Can't remember who said he should be the guy;;;;; oh wait, me lol. But I'm still on the O'Connor boat until it's not him. Too many heavy hints to ignore and a low ass buyout. Some of these high buyout guys people mention aren't happening.

[Cowbell]

I posted about how we are bottom in the SEC in football earnings. We lose money in baseball now- which we did not used to do. Thats how Polk got famous. He showed coaches how baseball could make money

If you were doing our athletic budget- you would be taking a Tums on a daily basis.

We may be able to hire an ACC coach pissed because of money- but anybody thinking we are about to shell out 10MM or more to get a primetime coach is delusional. ACC pissyness is our best bet for veteran successful coach. Our one languishing hope is Butch wants to move home after moving his family over there. Good luck

Baseball does not lose money. I don't know why so many people don't understand this. We are paying off the new stadium which is an asset on the balance sheet. We are trading cash for equity and that means we are profitable.

There is real smoke behind it but from a different camp than where you get your info. Also the same camp that says no way are we getting O'Conner.
