And given Parker an on the job interview.

He's criticizing Selmon now for being slow & sitting on his hands.

Says MSU is not serious

I agree with him. Selmon has let us down on this. Keeping Lem another game makes no sense for us

Show some leadership Selmon

Maybe just maybe Lemonis is not allowing him to make all the pitching decisions

All my life there has been no leadership at Mississippi State. No urgency and lack of initiative to make the right decision. Just fire him already. I’m sick and tired of watching him sit on his bucket

One of the reasons I have not pushed for my oldest to go there. He’s also chasing a dream that likely won’t take him there either.

bo has always been a little slow. We should have fired him at least a year earlier.

You need a lot more than two stud SEC starters. Our middle relief is shaky at best and we don't have a solid closer. Hell, we really don't know what our closing pitching is like because we're always pitching from behind. We've only had a chance to close out one SEC game to date.

Giving Parker an interview is laughable.

Fire Lemonis. Make Polk interim. See if that shoots a jolt into the kids and program to play for the legend. Clean complete house this off-season and let the new hire bring in a brand new staff from the baseball ops guy to the volunteer coach.

Frankly the more this goes on and the more I think about it. I'm not sure the problem(s) within the athletic department is Zac Selmon. Sure some of it is, but I think the biggest issue currently facing the University is Mark Keenum. Keenum is the problem. He's been in the role for 15 years. State has seen some very high highs in that time, but now it appears athletically and potentially academically per people more in the know than me that State is reaching new lows.

Regardless if y'all like him, he is connected at State and with donors. So you are getting some insight.

Also he is THE ONLY over air sports show (that I have ever listened), to give State that much air time. I appreciate him for that!

I’d honestly this compared to anyone from this staff being an interim. It’s just time for a complete house cleaning. We need a reset. And with the portal, a new coach should be able to put a contender on the field in year 1.

disagree. All weve heard about is the depth of our staff. When we run out stone simmons in the first weekend knowing he didnt deserve to be there.. it says it all.

We dont know about our pitching because we didnt:
1) play a tough enough non conference schedule
2) give innings to guys that have a real chance to be a critical part of the rotation this year.

Much like us giving downs at bats all season while hes 1 for 15 in sec play and jackson owen the start in the last reg season game and redshirt him the following day.

Youve got to find your best 6-7 arms. Your best 10-11 hitters and do every possible to get them ready for the SEC season. We play favorites here and parker seems to be along for the ride like the others are.

But would Polk be up to it? Would he use the current assistants or would he need some interim assistants?

The reason you don't see many mid-season firings, and why we likely wont have one this year, is because if a mid-season firing is justifiable it is basically saying that a last year firing should have happened. People don't like to look like they should have done something and didn't.

To refer to the golf thread, it's like piping your mulligan tee shot down the fairway and asking yourself why you didnt just do that the first time.

Keep it status quo. I mean lemonis doesnt do much anyway. Parker continues to run the staff. Polk simply makes the lineup and manages the day to day operations.

I would think Polk would be fine for 30 games. All coaches would continue on and finish out the year... and id assume they are professional enough to do them well as they would all be auditioning for future jobs.

I mean its not a perfect scenario.. but why would you hand the interim job to anyone on staff if you arent planning on giving them the head job.. and either Geaux or Parker deserves the head job here. So just alleviate that step, let Polk do it, and everyone else stay as is... that way there is no pressure hire said person if we do have some immaculate turn around

It certainly can't hurt if he'd be up to it.

Like many, I said we should have parted ways with Lemon 2 years ago and my thoughts haven't changed.
Polk 3? I'm game. It couldn't be worse than what we have now. But we need to hang on to Parker. He knows what he's doing.

We all know full well that is not gonna happen. We will be lucky if they can him at the end of the season. We need a hard a$$ coach that can light a fire in these guys. If their little feelings get hurt adios. We have zero clutch on this team.

Keenum has been a huge problem for years. Selmon is awful, but Keenum is the real root of the problems.

Parker showed what he could do last year, so I don't think the blame falls on him. I just don't think he has the right talent of arms. You've got to get quality SEC level pitchers and he doesn't have them.

actually this was the supposed strength of our team. He's had time to recruit and the portal to get guys in here.

But again Im not against him staying, but that would be the next coaches decision... he doesnt have the track record or resume to be a head coach NOR for our athletic department to demand the next HC keeep him on staff.

Do you mean you don't go to sports talk radio shows to hear BS about wine, meat, bourbon, vacations, cigars, hush puppies (that was my all time favorite before I stopped listening to him) and other "Lifestyle necessities"? He's as full of shat as his doppelganger Joe Biden

It is obvious that Lemonis has to go. It is obvious that Selmon has no 17ing clue what he's doing and will also have to go. Those two things are flat out obvious.

Someone convince me how the search for and eventual landing of a Lemonis replacement will be handled without including a lame duck AD?

If your answer includes "Keenum" you are disqualified. Keenum is responsible for this AD. Try again.
