ya'll hearing anything about several guys being removed from the baseball team??

I thought all of this was getting changed when Cohen took over from Polk. Well, the work ethic part anyway. Had Cohen been letting everything go soft the last few years?

I started wondering the same as I got deeper into this thread. Sounds like the Intense Bastard went soft on us. I recall someone here talking about how he had sold his soul a bit last year to get us back on top. Seemed ridiculous, but you look at a guy like Marrero, and he's got clubhouse cancer written all over him. I wondered what else was going on. We got part of our answer when Marrero was suspended, and the rest of the story is coming out. Kinda makes me lose some respect for Cohen and appreciate Cann even more.

I think he may have went soft or at least lost his interest in coaching baseball is probably more accurate to say. But to his credit- he at least stepped down instead of turning our program into a dumpster fire and he hired a great coach to replace him and left him enough talent to make a SR. So, we're in pretty good shape right now. And a lot of that is because of Cohen. He also knew to hire Cannizaro and he orchestrated that at apparently Def-Con 5 level.

Maybe the selling his soul part was referring to hiring a pitching coach that he knew wouldn't stay here for long. The story about him going after Nate Lowe after we got swept in 2015 by Tennessee to have a losing season is legendary in some ways- and tells me that he still cared on some level at least.
