Did anyone else notice Cohen

[Cowbell]

Being disappointed in the mentality and approach of our pitchers. He even pointed out how OSU pounded the zone and said our staff doesn't have that approach at all. Hendo is not his man.

[TNDawg35]

I have heard from several people he was pissed off.

[Skydawg1]

Being disappointed in the mentality and approach of our pitchers. He even pointed out how OSU pounded the zone and said our staff doesn't have that approach at all. Hendo is not his man.He was not very happy in the booth today. Another thing...on that double play early in the game, the one where we got the runner on 3rd in a rundown....he had to correct Jim. (Jim was about to call it a triple play) So he may be looking for Jim some help.

My official take: He should get his ass back in the dugout if he still has such passion for coaching. Make Hendo the AD. **

[KOdawg1]

Yep. He wasn't happy

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ten straight 1-0 counts to start the game.... Then, during his 3rd inning interview, Hendo says we need to keep the ball down (as we throw consistently between ankle-high and the ground). He has a very old school "never throw high" mentality.

[Cooterpoot]

He also ripped the defensive alignments. Defense was playing pull side and we were pitching out.

[msstate7]

I think Cohen is a lot like us other fans. Yeah, he ripped us today, but praised the hell out of this team and coaches Tuesday

[Cowbell]

Yep, i made my mind up today. Hendo is not his man at all. If he was, he would have been more guarded in his critique. Bring on Schloss

[SailingDawg]

It was hard to listen to the broadcast with all of his criticism. I wonder if he just welcomes himself to the booth? A couple of innings is ok but he needs to get out and shake hands or whatever he's supposed to be doing.

He's good in the booth. Just goes to extremes quickly... probably too much praise Tuesday and too much critism today. I love his knowledge of the game

Was Cohen in the game thread today?

I like it. He provides good insight that Jim can't. Sure he's critical, but besides the Hendo ass-kissers we have here, who isn't

[I seen it dawg]

Well he knows baseball and can see some of the horseshit our staff perpetrates over the course of a season. And it explodes on a big stage in nut cutting. I can assure he sees it better outside the dugout.

[Cooterpoot]

He tore Skelton a new one too. Questioned his effort.

[RocketDawg]

The players thought there were 3 outs and started to run off the field. That could have swayed Jim's calling.

[RocketDawg]

Was Cohen in the game thread today?

Yes. He posts as "ShotgunDawg". **

In Henderson's defense, he seemed pissed off in that interview. As pissed off as he's going to visibly show

[Todd4State]

That's the IB I know and love.

[Todd4State]

How do you know he wasn't pissed because someone woke him up from his nap.

[Cooterpoot]

I miss Wed Johnson pitching philosophy.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Being disappointed in the mentality and approach of our pitchers. He even pointed out how OSU pounded the zone and said our staff doesn't have that approach at all. Hendo is not his man.

Nope he was not happy. Not happy that JB pitched the 2nd inning. This let OSU coast with a lead and only had to use two pitchers.

He raved about Gautreau and Brown a few times, specifically and by name

[Saltydog]

I have it on good authority that Butch was offered but chose to stay at Auburn.

Good.

[msstate7]

If butch was offered, cohen's frustration in the booth could've been more than just not getting strike 1

[Cooterpoot]

Shit, it’s the damn Purdue tennis coach.

[msstate7]

Shit, it’s the damn Purdue tennis coach.

I'd go with Neshoba central's softball coach over him

[Todd4State]

Good!

I'd take the Purdue guy over Henderson.

[confucius say]

Cohen was highly frustrated, if not pissed. And I loved it. At one point he flat out said we were shifted completely opposite of where we should be given where our catcher was set up. Railed on Skelton, our pitching staff for big misses and walks.

He might be showing that Henderson is not his man and subtly justifying the decision in the booth.

[TNDawg35]

I just don't understand what could be so bad that would prevent you from hiring one of the best, if not the best, coach in college baseball in Schloss...

[Mobile Bay]

You people need to listen and learn the lesson before you turn us into LSU football stuck with Coach O. If what Henderson has done isn't good enough to keep the job, then nobody else worth having is going to come here and en their career.

Are you freaking kidding me powder puff? Are you a millennial?

[mstatefan91]

Don’t let Cohens smiling press conferences as AD fool you. He’s still the IB

[Dawg61]

Are you freaking kidding me powder puff? Are you a millennial?

You a baby boomer?

[Anonymous]

I have it on good authority that Butch was offered but chose to stay at Auburn.

I highly doubt that. Butch only signed an extension for 1 mil. The Schloss rumors were 1.5 base with incentives putting it near 3 mil.

I don't know how much we would have offered, but if we offered I feel confident saying Auburn would have had to pony up more than 1 mil/year.

[HoopsDawg]

You a baby boomer?

No, I'm just not a snowflake. And nothing against millennials, I'm just trying to understand how you can be offended by Cohen in the radio booth. I've learned more the last 2 games listening to him than I did in 15 years of playing ball.

[SailingDawg]

Usually he's good, so maybe it was the extremes.

[Maroons]

Wrong and wrong.

That makes no damn sense.

All based on one pitch..... If Macnamee does not hit what could have been the last strike of the season out of the park in Tallahassee, there is no Henderson camp and no one cares.

[The Federalist Engineer]

He's awesome in the booth. He predicted Madrigal stealing two bases before he did it. He described what a pitcher must do to hold runners and exactly how Madrigal was working JB.

This is sone premium color stuff you don't get from Jim, that's pure coaching talk. He even describes what pitch the hitter appears not to handle.

[preachermatt83]

He also ripped the defensive alignments. Defense was playing pull side and we were pitching out.

That?s been my chief complain all year

[preachermatt83]

Yup

[preachermatt83]

Wish Embry was out softball coach at state.

[preachermatt83]

5 one word or one sentence replies in a row. Good job Preach. Don't have some rep.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I would take Cohen as the HC in a heartbeat. Hes going to hire Schloss though

[Dawg2003]

I hope Cohen got as pissed as I did last night that we don?t have a national championship in baseball. There is zero excuse that we don?t. As much as I?ve loved watching this team, we shouldn?t have to cobble together pitchers like that. We shouldn?t have inconsistent pitching that is prone to complete meltdowns. We should be as good as OSU every year. We have a rich baseball tradition, but we?ve let people surpass us. Florida and Arkansas. Auburn is going to be a problem to be reckoned with too. Are we gonna let Auburn get a national championship before us? I never get mad about this stuff, but I?m just really mad that we don?t have a baseball championship because there is no excuse for it.

I agree 100%. But it makes sense when you consider that we've begged a burned out coach to come back not once but twice in Polk, hired a guy that the burned out coach wanted because we are nice in Pat McMahon, and then had to rebuild under Cohen and now have had to deal with the Cann BS and now Henderson.

We've really only been operating at an optimum level in baseball about six of the last 30 years. Because we choose to cling to the past and be nice for the most part. It's time for us to be elite and get this right.

Agree. Polk 2 was a disaster that set us back years. Cohen had to get a shovel and dig us out of that mess. Andy Cannizaro just makes me madder then mad. Not at Cohen because no one could foresee that. AC was a good coach, but he stopped coaching and checked out. I don?t care about his personal life so much, but when you stop coaching and try to run the program into the ground it?s on another level. I mean, texting in the dugout during a game? How can the man show his face around Starkville? This thing could have gone sideways badly. Kids could have started transferring out. I don?t want Henderson as head coach, but I thank him immensely for not letting this program go down in flames.

My hope tonight is that if we go out, we do it competitively. We just don?t get shelled and embarrassed. The IB is in a bad place because we all know Hendo isn?t the answer, but how can you look Hendo in the eye and tell him to pack his stuff up? I love the IB though. I love it when he gets pissed. I bet he?s like me in that watching us pitch makes him want to break things. I?ve started turning the channel when we pitch. Better for my mental health.

[mstatefan91]

Would not shock me if Cohen addresses the team as “Coach” before they take the field tomorrow. He knows what it means. He’s been there.

[Cooterpoot]

Wish Embry was out softball coach at state.

No you don’t.

[RocketDawg]

Didn't he lose 2 in a row to UCLA about 5 years ago? **

[I seen it dawg]

Good lord so do I. This babyshit dancing around hitters and not going after them is loserville.

[I seen it dawg]

Good

[Bulldog1]

I'm a huge fan of Wes Johnson. Would love to have him back.

[preachermatt83]

No you don’t.

Yes. I really do. He’s one of the “salesmen” you would ever see and has connections all over the country. He could get very good players here and can coach circles around vann.

[Really Clark?]

I’m sorry, he has had great success in high school. Can’t take anything away from him on that. But I cannot disagree more with you about him being a college level head coach. Maybe JUCO or small school first. And I can guarantee you his contacts are not near as good as Vann’s was when she was hired or now. That’s not close

[msstate7]

As a HC? That's only way he comes back
