You made some interesting points here. I do think Vann is a good coach. We have had decent success under her but we have not been able (as you noted) to break through to a higher level (upper half of the SEC, win the Tournament, make a SR etc.). With a few exceptions we are competitive almost every series but we seem to lose a lot of close games. I happened to watch our game at UK where we had a 8-3 lead but ended up losing 9-8. A good team just does not blow a 5 run lead.

I am never one to arbitrarily change coaches so I have mixed feelings here. Continuity w/the HC is a good thing but at the same time we may need a fresh start here.

Understanding that we have had 4 different baseball coaches the last 4 years and have maintained great success but IMO that is an anomaly. Hopefully with Lemonis we will have stability there now. We have been very fortunate in baseball that our program did not fall apart last year. Great credit to Coach Henderson for that.

Watched the game last night. We had a 6-1 lead with 2 outs and then Vann kept our pitcher in who had thrown over 140 pitches to where we had a bases loaded situation and we walked in 2 straight runs. Luckily a lightning delay saved us and we only walked in another run to win 6-4 but man we almost blew another one unreal.

With that being said we are 4-0 in softball since starting this thread. If we can somehow win another game at Florida this will certainly be the most significant thing Vann has done at MSU and I'll be happy to see us going hot into the SEC Tournament.
