I believe they will give Mike Martin one more year…a farewell tour, plus he will go over the 2,000 win mark. Even though Martin has the most wins for a college baseball coach, Augie Garrido, former baseball coach at Texas and Cal State Fullerton and second on the wins list, is still the best of all time. Garrido, who passed away earlier this year, won 5 national championships during his coaching career (2 at Texas, 3 at CSF).

I do hope that FSU will consider an outside coach for the future instead of MM, Jr.

Nobody would believe an allegation like that, Snidester.
Saw the opinion piece in the local rag, which validated my earier comments above. 11 may get 1 more year, so he could break 2,000 wins.
But he’s 0-16 in the CWS.
Statistically, with 8 teams in Omaha every year, the law of averages says he should have two championships by now.
But no.

Technically 11 may just coach on long after retirement since he has placed his son into a glued in position that might just make the Boosters a little reluctant to not just do the easy thing and pass the torch on to 11 Jr.
I mean the Boosters could at any time bring in a new coach [other than 11 Jr.] but 11 Sr. has made it as difficult as he possibly can for that to happen.
At least the Martins have not had any #metoo allegations and they likely will not ever have a legitimate #metoo. But in today’s overly sensitive world all it will take is an unsubstantiated allegation from a bat girl at the right time to throw a wrench into the 11 Sr. to 11 Jr. succession plan.
Should be interesting to watch how this plays out.

Season is already over.
0-2 & BBQ.
Having Parrish return to the mound after a 2 1/2-hour rain delay has to be one of the worst decisions 11 ever made. Did he not learn anything from last year’s super regional? After warming up, Sam Houston State’s ace (1.91 ERA) had to chill out through a 7 1/2-hour rain delay before throwing a pitch that counted. FSU clobbered him for 19 runs.

I predict 11 will retire after this disaster.
