When you pay a baseball coach almost as much as your football coach, you deserve the misery you're going to get
Lebby and BOC combined are making less than 10 of the 16 SEC football coachesQuote:

Just got home from being at the event. It was incredible.
I know this is really hard for a lot of our fans to believe but we might have a really good AD.Quote:

Cohen had to happen as baseball coach to get our program right in the SEC but there was definitely some damage done and some pain for all involved.
Now that Cohen is completely gone and his old hire is gone this feels like a similar turning point like when Cohen was first hired but the difference is things have come full circle now and it feels like everyone is on board and pulling in the same direction.
And I completely believe understand why people had doubts. We're not used to competence.Quote:

(Please limit Keenum to 60 seconds talking time moving forward. Hearing him ramble on about governors cups was cringey at best)
I have always believed in Zac, hell I was the only one defending him his first 15 months here.Quote:
