No shite Sherlock, you think we we're gonna pay a first year unproven head coach the same amount as someone with CPM's experience. I feel like I'm conversing with a child, good God.
I didnt say you should, I said would you double it so quickly if we did, that's the question, in case you missed it. You seem to think no question you would.

Yes, we would no question. Otherwise our baseball coach wouldn't have stepped down and taken the AD job. He made sure we had CAC lined up before he did so. He is the guy Cohen had in mind since day one. I have zero doubts that he would support his plan and match any offer.
Let me reiterate, if AC did not take the job, Cohen would still be our coach because he did not think anyone could do the job AC could do. He was right on with that assesment.

Allllrighty then, guess we would have no shot for a south louisiana guy who coached here. Afterall, why leave Starkville for back home in South Louisiana for the best job in the country..

LSU and Mississippi State have 32 and 17 records, State has one more win and one less loss in the SEC. Why is Andy great and CPM terrible?

When did I say BR was a "fricking oasis"? All I'm saying is Starkville is a dump in the middle of nowhere. At least BR is kind of a city.

Give it the eye test man. Do you think he'd just pack up things after a couple of years and go to a place where fans run you off for only making the CWS every year? And yea, LSU probably is the best job, but guess what, State is probably a top 5 job, and the difference only matters in the minds of fans. I'm not saying it's impossible, but highly unlikely that AC will coach LSU at any point within the next 5 years. This isn't football, coaches don't jump from job to job. They build programs. That's what they do.

I cant believe this guy wants to even attempt to argue Starkville isn't much worse by comparison. It's in the middle of nowhere. Memphis is even 3 hours away.
Not to mention Andy freaking grew up and coached down here

All of this might matter more if he wasn't FROM our area. That's the big chink in your whole argument here. It's not like we're just comparing south Louisiana to Starkville, we're comparing it from the sense it's a guy who was born, raised, college'd and coached from down here to up there.
Also pro-tip, never, ever ask someone to eye-test Starkville if they're from a city scene.
And the whole running off argument is dumb, Mainieri has been here a decade nearly, and hasn't been "run off" nor will he. Of course expectations are high here, anyone that coaches here knows that taking the job, if Cannizaro didn't care about meeting expectations he wouldnt have coach here or accepted an offer from MSU as HC either.

Ahhh yes, your 1 visit to Starkville must make you an expert on the city.
Posted on 5/10/17 at 3:50 pm to thunderbird1100
Not what I meant by any of that, wasn't referring to the cities when I said eye test. I simply meant basebal coaches don't jump to programs like they do in football

Starkville v BR isn't an argument you're going to win, man. I'm sorry. That's not even taking into account, as another poster has attempted to emphasize, Andy's roots in South La.
Posted on 5/10/17 at 3:52 pm to lsu2006
Never even made that argument. Now many of you are just putting words in my mouth.

It doesn't take long to get a sense of Starkville man. It's absolutely in the middle of nowhere with not much of anything to do. I get it, I went to Georgia Southern for a while, I grew up in New Orleans/Atlanta. My saving grace for statesboro was Savannah not far away. Baton Rouge was too small for me too, but again, New Orleans not far away. Baton Rouge though makes starkville look really, really tiny though. It's a town of like 25k locals, it's tiny. It was no different than Statesboro.

Not exactly every day you get offered by LSU. We've had 3 coaches the last 30+ years
Posted on 5/10/17 at 3:57 pm to thunderbird1100
I've lived in BR for 18 years, was neutral towards all things LSU. Went to State for a major. Starkville is not the shitty place many of you make it out to be. I love the city, the people, the beautfiul campus, and the quaint atmosphere. A lot of fans just perpetuate the stereotype, incorrect if I might mention. Many of the people that criticize Starkville, have not been in the city for more than 24 hours and yet talk about how "shitty" it is like they'be lived there for 4 years.

I got a sense for Statesboro the first time i went there and it didnt change living there for a few years. I dont see Starkville being any different. No, it's not the WORST place on earth, far from it, but in comparison to South Louisiana? Come on man, there's absolutely no comparison. Starkville is absolutely a small town in the middle of nowhere with a college in it. There's not much else to it. IT reminded me of Statesboro to the T, except without being able to retreat to a city nearby.
The place is REALLY small man. I mean, sure if you grow up in small town MS or something it may seem a lot better, and it is. But to people who have lived in more populous areas, let me tell you, to us, it's a small shitty town with not much to do in it.

Once again, i haven't compared them. You continue to put words in my mouth.

So again, your whole argument about Andy never leaving MSU for LSU if offered is simply "we have a new stadium being built" - which basically is bringing you on par with places that have better parks already like an LSU or Arkansas...and the fact you think Starkville isn't "that bad", but agree it's not nearly as good of a place to be as South Louisiana...where Andy grew up, went to college and coached at. Oh, and where you live

Keep the bullpen hot in the late innings in close games not wait until the pitcher starts struggling or damage been done before making a move. I have season tickets and have seen it for years.
Posted on 5/10/17 at 4:15 pm to thunderbird1100
Our new park won't "be on par" with LSU or Arky. It will blow both out the water. And no, you're just cherry picking from my posts in this thread. Baseball coaches don't jump from program to program like they do in football, especially in their first couple of years. I get that he's from there, but how do you know that he wants to coach there? Not saying Starkville is where he wants to be, but I'm sure he has a long list of places he'd rather be than both Starkville and South Louisiana.
