re: Is Mainieri on the hot seat for next year?

you brought it up so addressed it

I was making a comparison regarding expectations and a program's prestige. Not an actual comparison between the ability to win the SEC in baseball vs. that ability in basketball.

not but calling for a coaches head after winning the SEC championship is also beyond stupid.

I never did this. So you've either got me confused for someone else or you've mistaken what I've said.

Mississippi State has a storied history.

Kentucky looks like an amazing squad for the future

Miss. St hasn't won a regular season championship since 1989. At least Kentucky has won one recently. But I'm reserving judgment on Kentucky until I see them do it for another year.

Baseball isn't the same. If you win back to back SEC regular season titles, you are one good team.

We haven't done that under Mainieri and certainly haven't done in in the past 2 years so I'm not sure the legitimacy of this comment.

not going to happen baseball is way to difficult to win year after year after year.

Again, I was speaking abstractly to prove my point and counter yours. People are suggesting that we should be happy with SEC Championships. I offered the example of winning nothing but SEC Championships without ever making Omaha as an argument to illustrate the absurdity of basing a season's success only SEC Championships.

But you fail to realize how much better this team has gotten over the span of one year.

If anything, this team regressed towards the end of the season. Also, I refuse to claim that a team improved when its comparison is to the previous year's team that didn't even make the postseason. Still doesn't answer the question regarding the depletion of talent.
