Their 247 mod said if they didnt make the tourney, as was expected, he already had an article drafted ready for his firing. Not sure about him having to make omaha though

This is not a fact. But, I believe he would have been had UM not even made the tournament, which many, myself included, thought would happen. When they made it in, I was very fearful of them and had them winning the Coral Gables regional and called a Super in BR...

Not possible in Mississippi. It’s a state school.

Sweeping the good guys allowed them the chance to get into the tournament that saved his job.

Look, I am happy for Mike Bianco but I am also very happy that Jay Johnson is our coach. Time to move on and get behind our Tigers!!

This is true.

He’d have been hired somewhere else for next season (if he wanted to coach again) but he was a gone pecan from UM.

The week of LSU Ole Miss series, both Hunt/Hill and Moscona had sportswriters from Oxford on and they both said the fans have been calling for him to be fired for awhile and the situation was like with Paul at LSU where most people were happy of their wins but team grew stale. Said players and him wasn't getting along, AD and Mike at odds (a lot over interviewing with LSU), and the debate was if it would be at the end of the season or before.

And it's for that reason I hope he holds up the trophy and then tells ole Miss to fans to piss off because they wanted him fired just two months ago.
