Mississippi State parts ways with head baseball coach Chris Lemonis amid underwhelming campaign
SUMMARY: Mississippi State has fired head baseball coach Chris Lemonis after a disappointing 2025 season. The Bulldogs, currently 25-19 with a 7-14 conference record, are set to miss the postseason for the second time in three years.

Athletic director Zac Selmon emphasized the need for leadership change to meet expectations. Pitching coach Justin Parker will serve as interim head coach while a national search for a permanent replacement begins. The season continues against Kentucky this weekend.
