Georgia wins at least 10 this Fall

I don't know how Cohen will do hiring for other sports but he's been damn impressive hiring baseball coaches. 3 of the current top 4 teams in the SEC have head coaches that have been hired by Cohen and the 4th has a pitching coach that has been hired by Cohen. Hopefully all his future hires are this successful.
I love revisionist history, and I'm not talking about the OP per say. The amount of bitching on this and other sites over not getting a HC to replace Cohen was everywhere. This is MSU baseball by God and if its not true that we were going to hire Corbin, then we made a terrible hire, etc., etc. Cann was a great hire and simply goes to show that you can hire a hot assistant instead of a proven/retread coach and be successful.
Best thing about Cann..
He is and WANTS to be a coach. He is a 100% baseball guy. He is all in. Cohen obviously wasn't and hadn't been all in as a coach for the last few years. Saying that probs to JC and his first Hire as AD in Cann.
We upgraded the head coach position in baseball and as of now I will admit Cohen has been a very good hire as AD not to mention the hires that were made in football.
We upgraded the AD position as well.
If one of our coaches isn't all in about MSU in any sport I want them gone. I'm glad Cohen is a lot more sensible about stepping down from baseball coach than his predecessor. I'm also glad he didn't leave the program in a flaming heap that had to be rebuilt.
Cohen rebuilt our baseball program and we should be thankful for that. I think Cannizaro will take us the last step. He had beyond exceeded my expectations. His growing pains as a coach I think were mostly due to not having been here for most of the fall and just not knowing quite what we had as a team. And now that he does know we've taken off.
Hiring a coach for MSU baseball is completely different than hiring one for MSU football. Apples to oranges
Reading the thread title, I expected this thread to be about Cannizaro benching "Belmont" a couple games.
