    I agree about Henderson. He seems to be the fall guy for this year. I think considering the injuries on the pitching staff that Henderson has done a bang up job whether the pitchers like him or not

    Talk to a pitcher on the staff. They'd rather have Johnson back in a heartbeat, even as bad as y'all talk about him

    I think it's more a situation where he was going to be with Cohen whom he was comfortable with and then all of a sudden Cohen becomes AD and now he's with a head coach who doesn't really know him. Even worse, I think UK fired Henderson unfairly to be honest with you. It's a chemistry issue more than anything.

    It's like Dan and Torbush.

    Cann needs to chill though. I get he wants to show that's he's serious but kicking off a promising healthy pitcher for something fairly small in my opinion is a little much.

    No, not when you commit small things multiple times on a 3 strike policy. At some point, there has to be a breaking point. And as a young coach, if you say 3 strikes and you give 4, the rest of the team picks up on it, and then Katy bar the door.

    I do hope our fans will go easy on the guy though. From all accounts he is a great kid that just made too many small mistakes. Hate it, but rules is rules.

    The star player will be fine, but needs to set a better example and lead off the field too...not just on it.

    And let's be real, you come out and play good baseball and win...some of these things may get a pass. So either way, it's on the players. And this will lead to some guys getting a chance to step up. Either way, one positive is we will have a lot more experience next year, ha.

    Curfew. And that's a good point because last year the half of the team would be in the district the night before every game and they were sec champs. I guess when you win you overlook things a little more

    Honestly, I don't have a problem with our players going out after a loss. They need to have a life and be college kids at some point too and I think trying to hold them back from that sometimes can cause more problems and friction.

    I agree with that unless say, it's when we are on a road series and the team has a hotel curfew. Wouldn't you agree? I totally think the players should be able to go out after a game for a little while in Starkville...although I still think they should respect curfew.

    The book Cohen won't be writing after this season:

    "Dynasty Baseball - Going Back to Back in the SEC"

    ****ing coastal Carolina has a national title and we are 3 ******* years away from maybe sneaking into a regional again. Think about that. Fresno ****ing st has a natty and we can't piece together more than maybe 1 contender every 3-4 years then have to go thru a full rebuild. It's pathetic, there's no excuses for being where we are now with our resources, fan support, and history, especially being so ****ing close to a title in 2013, took 3 years to rebuild a contender and we ****ed up in the regionals, and now we are looking at a 3 year rebuild to maybe make a regional. Terrible.

    Expect a lot of turnover after the year. Coaches, players, etc.

    This year is a waste anyway, might as well use it to build a foundation of discipline if nothing else. I say that without knowing the offense(s), but rules are rules and the program will be better in the long run if players know there are consequences if you break them.

    I don't know if discipline was an issue before or Cann is just an hard ass, but some of the players hate him.

    I agree. The road is different than Starkville. You have to have a curfew.

    I bet the ones that hate him are the ones who can't/won't follow the rules.....
