    Still don't understand how Cohen could

    hire an untested Asst. coach when he could have brought in a proven winner.

    Despite what some folks spewed for several years Cohen is an elite baseball mind. Also, don't underestimate the importance of Gary Henderson.

    Never understood the Cohen hate.

    And he will be eventually the best AD we have had.

    Without question he is the smartest...although, that isn't always the most important part of the job.

    Can't recall anyone having more passion for Msu than Cohen. I also thought it was a great hire, him sitting in for other coaches being interviewed was a smart move by whomever suggested him being involved.

    1. He wasn't Ron Polk

    2. He wasn't always conventional.

    And as you know I always liked him and thought he was a good coach. He was without question the coach we needed to rebuild our program and get our attitude right in baseball- and he did and took us further than any other coach at MSU did in baseball.

    If he has a weakness as a coach it's that he is too passionate about MSU and I think he would overdo things sometimes and push our guys too hard sometimes to try to fix things and meet the standard that we all have for MSU baseball.

    But I bet he would have gotten a bunch of research grants.

    If Cohen didn't get his guy he could have easily made Henderson the interm head coach and had a whole year to get someone, and everyone here would have considered it a savvy move. That tells me Cann was one of, if not the top choice.

    We gave Corbin a call- he said no. Cann was the next choice. Absolutely a great call by the AD.

    I like Cann better than Corbin. Actually give me Derek Johnson their old pitching coach to go along with Cann over Corbin.

    Quite honestly it's odd to jump off of a coach's side for one move in one game like that. Especially after he won the SEC and took us to the CWS finals.

    What RP said was the rumor I heard as well. We also interviewed Corbin to replace Polk II as well before that.
