Well ... he beat Corbin, supposedly one of the best coaches in the country, 2 out of 3. And he beat Florida, the No 1 team, 3 in a row. Maybe he's not so bad. I've forgotten what his record against Top 10 teams is, but it's something like 90% win.

There isn't a chance in hell Cohen thought this run to Omaha would happen. I have to imagine for as awesome as this is, any plans he had to interview outside of MSU have been significantly altered by the fact our current staff has us in Omaha.
91% (10-1)
As I've said before, if Saban leaves Alabama after 3 games and Mike Locksley becomes the interim coach and takes them to a NY6 bowl, is there a chance in hell he gets the permanent job?
Even if he won the CFP, would he get the job?
You comparing our baseball team to Alabama football? What if Moorhead left after 3 games and Shoop led us to a playoff game? Would Shoop get the job?Quote:

Our baseball program is light years ahead of our football program. CWS appearances 3 times in 10 years is a lot better than never being in a playoff game. Making the CWS doesn’t get you the job.Quote:

If he believes that is Henderson, then so be it, but I certainly don’t.
I agree 100%. Rep given.Quote:

Exactly, Henderson without Gautreau is not acceptable. But Gautreau as HC is a total unknown.Quote:

I get what you're saying, but Kentucky is a really bad baseball program. They have 7 regionals in their history. They have only 1 SR in history (2017), and it was the team Henderson built. Despite having the most draft picks the last 2 years and most top 10 round picks of any school in the country, they still missed the tourney this year. Henderson in his last 6 sec seasons has an sec record of 94-92 (.505) while battling super programs South Carolina, vandy, and Florida in the east, and coaching a rebuilding miss state team this year.Quote:

He has done a good job but he took the program Cohen built and it regressed a little. Are we really to the point where we are hiring the coach UK fired?Quote:
