Guy in baseball offices saying...

[bigplayslay]

If it's the Indiana guy, I'd rather just give the whole damn thing to Jake and see what happens. Lemonis would be an underwhelming hire. Hell, I'd rather Henderson over that guy...and for me to say that, let's just say it hurt.

Give it to Hendu and go get Mcdonell in 3 years haha

[Todd4State]

Lemonis was the recruiter and hitting coach at Louisville. Why keep Gautreaux if you hire Lemonis? God, I hope this is not the guy.

For the record I would be fine with Lemonis but at the same time I agree- why not just promote Jake?

If we hire Lemonis and keep Jake I wouldn't worry about the offense to be honest. His pitching coach is Kyle Bunn who has been around the SEC for a long time.

Is this the only guy with ?multiple Omaha appearances? that we can find? 17 it, I?ll take someone without the Omaha experience.

He has also bought his own tickets to attend when the team didn't qualify. "Appears" to have been there a lot!***

[StarkVegasSteve]

If this is truly the hire, then we just should've kept Hendo and not broken up the band. This is a hire almost no one will get behind

[MetEdDawg]

This is a fine hire. Went to Omaha multiple times as an assistant. McDonnell protege. Won at Indiana and took them to a regional 3 out of 4 years. Guy can recruit.

It's not a home run. But as has been established already. We don't need a home run. We need the right fit. We got the guy McDonnell trained for 7 years. I think this has very good potential. But I expect most to shit on this hire, blast Cohen, and not understand what constitutes a good hire.

[AlSwearengen]

If it is Lemonis, that is like the wife telling me no on Sofia but it is ok to shag the 300lb neighbor lady.

This will be the biggest ?what the 17? ever and we at MSU know about some ?what the 17s?. Indiana has taken a step back since he has taken over there.

Cohen reveres McDonnell too much to listen to him on this.

The only thing Cohen should be blasted for is getting on the radio and running his mouth about hiring a hall of fame coach.

This is a good hire for us.

Agreed. He’s a recruiting mastermind. He’s just as responsible for Louisville’s run as anybody.

All of his kids could get coached by Roy Oswalt at Starkville Academy.

Indiana page says he has 2 daughters.

Completely agreed. Cohen hopefully learned a valuable lesson in this. I think he 100% got personally involved in the emotion of this season and this hire and took this cluster 17 turned Final Four personally. Felt like he had to sell the program and beat his chest to show we were ok. He is this program. Played here and coached here and I 100% get it. Hopefully he learns a valuable lesson that as the AD you have to turn that off and keep things close to the vest and not be so public with comments related to the search.

But this is a really good hire. Those that get baseball understand this. Those that don't will be more focused on blasting Cohen and us not getting a current Top 10 HC

But what if that 300lb slag is in reality a smoke show in a fat suit?

[Goldendawg]

Top 10? From all I heard and read I thought it was Top 5 coaches that couldn't turn us down. O well, I had never heard of Joe Moorhead either and I think that is headed in the right direction. Time will tell. Hope this is not like the year Emory Bellard predicted we would win the SEC and we didn't win a single game.

[msstate7]

LOL, I'd rather have Henderson.

See edit. I had wrong year, and feel much better

[BeardoMSU]

Exactly.

[msstate7]

Those numbers don?t exactly say he is a hitting guy. Lol

I had wrong year. See edit. Stats quite good

[AlSwearengen]

Why the lackluster finishes at Indiana?

[preachermatt83]

Indiana offensive ranks in big 10...
Avg - 2nd
Slugging - 1st
OBP - 4th
Runs - 3rd
2b - 3rd
3b - 7th
HR - 1st



ETA... I had wrong year. These are correct stats

Thats impressive

[msstate7]

Thats impressive

Yes they are. I feel much better than I did at first. Not sure what year stats I had on janky big 10 site
