Then there are going to be some furious people out there. Hiring a guy who has zero experience just so we can hire Cohen as AD would be the dumbest thing we could possibly do.Quote:

That could get awkward with whomever the baseball coach is. I can't see Tim Corbin going "Oh, OK I'll just be the volunteer assistant now." Actually I can't see very many coaches doing that.
Would you prefer another Fitz should throw left handed thread?Quote:

Over a fire Mullen thread, yes actually I would prefer that.Quote:

Brian O'Conner- not coming to a SEC West school as long as Manieri is at LSU, Holliday at Oklahoma State who has deep family ties there, Gilmore at Coastal Carolina where he is an alum among others.Quote:

Why would 2012 be a deciding factor for job searching in 2015? Not following that.Quote:

Also, from what I've been told Strick was told to look around by Mark. Mark told him he needed to do something about some assistants on the football team and Strick refused to press the issue on Mullen.
Cohen knows how to recruit to Starkville as well as Howland. If they're bringing big time guys here, so can our football coach. The talent we have here is a result of someone wanting to get out and handing recruiting over to Sleepy and Tony while he, Gonzo look for HC jobs. Cohen also will demand excellence from his coaches, I think it has a potential to be a great hire.
It would be an absolute fail if we go with Cannozarro, he may end up being a good coach. I don't want to be the school that finds out if he can sink or swim as a HC especially when we are getting close to getting our new stadium etc. Honestly, I think Cohen might could make a good AD but, I think what is best for MSU right now is for Cohen to stick to baseball for several more years. Let us get the stadium built and hopefully he snags an NC at some point in the near future and then I would be fine with him replacing whoever takes over as AD. But, we are just now getting stable in baseball and all it will take is one tank of a hire to send us right back to where we were. If we had some of the built in advantages that LSU, UF, and Vandy have then I wouldn't be nearly as nervous. Obviously our baseball job is a pretty coveted one but it is not a top 3-5 job like some would like to think.
I've actually heard this too, but he's so young I can't see that being it. Maybe they're trying to get him before he becomes the next big thing, but that's a risky move to hand your program over to guy with such little experience coaching at a major level. He's super talented though. Just not a lot of experience.Quote:
