Florida State fires Mike Martin, Jr.

[Duke Humphrey]

Link Jarrett rumored to be the next hire

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Clemson now on to their Plan B? Plan C? candidate if that’s the case.

Was there a scandal? This doesn't seem like a record that would get someone fired.

No, but they just know they have to bring their homeboy at Notre Dame back before somebody else dangles money at him.

It absolutely is when you compare to what FSU used to be. They had 4 CWS appearances, 4 ACC titles, and won a minimum of 41 games in the 10 years before Jr. took over. And that was the twilight of Martin’s career, nothing close to his best teams.

Minus their natty curse, FSU is as blue blood as it gets in college baseball. They aren’t going to tolerate mediocrity for very long.

If you don’t have a Natty, you are not a Blue Blood.

Wow. Who could’ve seen that coming?*** A nepotism hire that Mike Sr. demanded on his way out the door, probably as part of the retirement agreement. Good for FSU to end the experiment quickly and hire a real coach.

It’s good to know that Coastal Carolina and Fresno State are blue bloods, but a school with 22 CWS appearances is not. Dumb argument.

Martin Sr. won 40 games there every single year from 1980-2019. Jr. never won 40 games and never won a Regional. I thought he was a Raffo-ish hire at the time, anyway.

If Link Jarrett weren’t available and very interested I’m not sure they make the move. But if you can get Jarrett then you absolutely lock him down. He’s one of the best coaches in the country and won’t be at Notre Dame much longer regardless.

We saw it coming after that MacNamee home run tbh ***

This is why fer sure

But its only a club sport.***

 

[Cooterpoot]

Martin was Jarrett's college roommate and best friend. I'm not convinced he's taking the job.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

That would be a good hire for them. I think he's a great coach

I generally disagree with Lee, but did he say everyone with a natty is a blue blood?
