I don't buy ole Danny boys story for one minute considering what resources our admin has put into ALL sports here. I think he was just ready to go. It's fine if you want to move on but talk down about our admin and especially Cohen who is one of us.
He was already a top 15 paid coach and Grantham was paid $1 Mill per year with a 3 year deal. It sounds like he wanted a "reason" to leave. Baseball coaches are paid drastically below football so I don't know how much money going into baseball would even affect football. Unless he wanted some kind of facility upgrade and Cohen said it would have to wait until the baseball stadium was finished. Baseball is also our best opportunity to win a National Championship at MSU. Football and basketball (M&W) is a tougher environment. Women's basketball is probably the next best chance after baseball but UConn is like Bama football on steriods.
