I wish him well, hope we can honor him for 2021 and 2019 one day.
I think this may be an iffy hire for them. This feels a little too comfy for him.

Hope he can find him the elixir to get some players in there, because if he couldn't do it here I don't see how he's gonna do it there.

You think his contract comes with a bucket or does he have to provide that himself.
I’ve got a nice dove hunting bucket with a swivel seat and a back rest. It’s camouflage, nobody probably would ever see it.
Didn't know his wife is a Coastal alum, good for them.
Getting players in here certainly was not his problem. The core of this year’s lineup was his guys. Plenty of high level talent brought in:
Bednar
Dohm
Yeager
Cjintje
Ledbetter
McPherson
K. Stephen
D. Jordan
J. Parker
Reese
Frei
Hines
Mershon
Pico
Sullivan
Stallman
Host of decent relievers: Auger, Simmons, Davis, Hardin, Siary, others.
The problems Lemonis had was that the sum was always less than the parts after 2021. And, he just never recovered from the 1-2 punch of the 2022 pitching injuries and Foxhall’s disastrous pitching recruiting class of 2021 where we literally added 1 guy that even gave us 10 good innings.
But he’s more than capable of finding talent.
GTFO with that garbage. Talent is players that do something. 17 the paper
This is fact. 2021 proves he can manage when he has players. College coaching is about recrootin. And he sucked.
Lol. What? Winning the MVP of the CWS, being a 1st Round pick (at least 5-6 guys on that list), Freshmen of Year in college baseball this year, 1st Team All-SEC, having a 1.000+ OPS season (or multiple such seasons), none of that is “doing something”?
You might wanna sit the next few plays out.
I think Lem will do great at Coastal. He may not have an Andy Cannizaro stud lineup to start like at State, but he doesn't have to. He just needs to keep pace with Troy.
He's got a good resume compared to most. If I was hiring him, I would want him to answer "what happened" following 2021. We never seem to recover with such a national brand and fanbase that we have.
Yep, he's basically back to where he came from. Believe he grew up in Myrtle Beach if I'm not mistaken.
It would only take a few phone calls to figure out what happened. He is lazy. And he is pretty awkward in person. Never looks anyone in the eye. I think Gaut took care of recruiting for him
He inherited that team, dubmass. Bednar didn't win it by himself.
I honestly cannot believe we have people here taking up for Lemonis.
Yep he can live in MB if he wants (I wouldn't). It's just a short drive away. Prolly wind live somewhere south of MB. Maybe Georgetown since he also likes Charleston a lot.
I really hope you're being a smartass.
TA and Rowdy, duh
James, Tanner, Sims were committed to previous staffs
I give him credit for Bednar and Dubrule
Rest were just role players
This has bothered me since it happened and I've never heard ANY so called writers ask him that. I've heard from some of the posters here that he got lazy, just went to showcase events and tournaments, blah blah blah but no idea if this was the cause of the high degree of suckitude we suffered in '22 and '23 or not. It will be interesting to see how he approaches this new opportunity, be it aggressively on the road or passively from the bucket.
Correct it ain't that difficult. Guy is a good baseball coach but that's not what gets you paid in college ball - finding players and creating a culture is.
He was average at Indiana and average here. Stands to reason he'll be average at Coastal. A lot of people say it's a great fit, but I don't see it outside of it being his home. That 2016 CC team was a bunch of dirtbags, so maybe if Lemon can develop some type of strategy there, something might happen.
