Can't wait to see how people respond when they see he's keeping the baseball job too.

I'm being told new baseball coach too.

I love it. An AD that wants State to win as a priority above marketing.

Interesting. I'd rather have Cohen making y'all mad doing both jobs though.

Don't love that actually but maybe with Cohen still around the young guy won't make a lot of rookie mistakes. Cannizaro with Gary Henderson as pitching coach? weird dynamic...

Great personality and guy.

Canny played in the big leagues for the Yankees, was a successful scout for the Yankees (which you should LOVE for recruiting and evaluation purposes), and he's proven himself as a relentless recruiter at the college level.

Plainly, I realize it isn't sexy, but we are talking about an elite hire here and you guys simply don't know it yet.

That's not a name that's gonna thrill a lot of people. Very underwhelming hire IMO.

Sounds like a downgrade in both the AD and baseball HC positions.

I really don't know nor do I care. Get me to a bowl 4 out of 5 years and to Omaha 1 out of every 4 years and they can announce Bully as the new AD.

"Unproven" does not = "elite hire."

It may be a grand slam in time but there's no way to judge that immediately. We have a hell of a squad and have no time to BS around with growing pains. He'd better be ready to step in and be the damn man. Players love him, which is great. He's apparently a hell of a hitting coach and knows talent. I think he'll be lights out recruiting. But managing a baseball team has about a million other moving parts too. We have a lot of options and this one would be a risk IMO, but it might be a risk worth taking. Be fun if we get to watch it unfold.

Completely fair points.

Good points, but having Henderson on staff and Cohen close by have to alleviate some of that concern. He's got two great teachers to continue to grow as a coach.

And having Henderson on the staff and Cohen around will help tremendously.

Cannizaro may be great, but he only has been coaching since 2014. That is very troublesome. You're going to give a guy with 2 season of baseball coaching under his belt one of the 3 most engaged college baseball programs? Huge risk. Butch Thompson would make more sense to me. I have zero knowledge about Cannizaro but he'd have to be DYNAMIC to have already impressed enough to go straight to a big time SEC HC.

So an AD with zero AD experience and a HC with zero HC experience. HAIL STATE

We get a inexperienced coach whose Alma Mater passed him over for their head coaching job and got an AD that has no experience beyond shaking hands and being Stricklins lap dog.

The Carnegie Hall of CBB should have a Mozart or Bach type hire. I may be wrong

but I can't get excited over any of these moves.

A first time head coaching gig is not an elite hire at all. It is an experiment. Not saying it won't work out but it is not an elite hire.

Harsh, but completely fair. From the outside looking in, it looks like amateur hour in StarkSville. I could live with Cohen as AD because he will prioritize winning first and foremost, but there are experienced and/or more seasoned athletic administrators that also want to win.

I knew that this is what would happen when people in the know were floating Tim Corbin "or Andy Cannizarro assistant who Cohen thinks is really good." Try to get everyone's hopes up and then try to damage control once the truth is revealed.

Madison Central runs their athletic programs better than MSU. So yeah- it looks like amateur hour.

Hopefully the Cannzarro rumor is false. I can deal with Cohen at AD.

The more I think about this situation the more something isn't adding up. Why deny Cohen is AD, then go all 007 secret with shit and hire Cannazarro? To me, it just doesn't make a lot sense.
Would Cohen want his first big move as AD to be hiring some nobody to run HIS program? I just don't see it.

Corbin isn't going to come here to get potentially micromanaged by Cohen. We almost have to hire an assistant coach in case Cohen really sucks as an AD so he could slide back in as the head baseball coach.

Our current HF coach had no head coaching experience, and look what he has accomplished. He still can't recruit, and still miss manages games and play calling. We have been to the CWS 9 times, and the best we have done is runner-up. The guy that lead us to our best finish is likely the guy who will be our new AD. Do you guys really think he would turn over the program to someone who will not take pride and work his ass off for this program? Henderson will be his assistant which should be helpful to the young skipper. I guess Cohen could get back into the good graces with Polk, and hire Raffo? It could be worse, but do we really know who the HC will be?

Cohen as AD is a smart move. He is very smart/outside the box thinker and will hold all coaches accountable for winning. He also won't mind stepping on toes that need to be stepped on to get the right things done much like Byrne did. That had to happen to get us out of the 1970s we were stuck in.

As for Cannizaro, he's a great recruiter and hitting guy with one year of assistant coaching experience. Hard to believe this Top 10/15 national program is going to be put in the hands of someone with one year of assistant coaching experience no matter how promising his future looks. In several years he'd be ready but now...not sure...it's definitely a gamble. Personally, I believe there would be a LOT of interest in this program from some top sitting head coaches around the country even though it's November.

I bet there are some experienced AD's that would like our job too.
