Lack of locker rooms may have played a part

We even put out some fluff price about the next time we played there it would be complete or something to that effect.

This is the correct answer. They are busting their ass to finish. Unfortunately, there are some consequences to trying to Build the Taj Mahal of college baseball during a season.

I would agree with you if Cohen did specifically say on numerous occasions that the new coach would be named after HIS season ended. He never mentioned waiting for ours to end.

He took less than 48 hours to make an ideal hire in football, BUT it's far more important to get this coaching search right than to get it done quickly. The quest for Alabama to hire Nick Saban took quite a while too.

So, for you, him hiring an offensive coordinator at another school has made him bullet proof?

Boy, I'd like to work for you.

Not really.

Just people demanding better. For far to long the MSU fan base did demand better & IMO that's the main story of why our football program was what it was for so long.

Ever think that maybe at the time he said that he assumed that the coaches in the hunt would have a season longer than ours? Another common sense approach to this. That was difficult.

Haha, yea the NCAA definitely didn't care that Vandy had already played in Starkville.....that had nothing to do with it.

Demand better or you get LT for 20 years.

The problem with MSU athletics under Lonnie Tinkle wasn't Lonnie Tinkle, it was the collective MSU fan base that lacked a pair to demand better.

Geez. Calm down. The coaching search is only taking longer than YOU thought it seems. We all wanted Schloss and that didn't happen by his choice or ours. We might never know. Anyways John has always said we would name a head coach within 48 hours of their season ending. So if that's McDonnell that's today. Could that be getting hung up us still playing? Possibly but hopeful not. It's like naming Joe Moorhead head football coach while the bowl season was Going on. So if we don't name a new head coach today or tomorrow you should turn your eyes towards a team still playing...

You are so damn paranoid sometimes... John isn't LT. That's just stupid.

No issues with Cohen so far. Now if we don't get a guy with "multiple CWS", I'm gonna be pissed for selling our fan base a dream. He didn't have to make that comment, but he did, so he better deliver

Actually DEMANDING better played a big part in why we were so bad for so long. We had a lot of people DEMANDING.

You demanding "more" on a message board ain't gonna do sh?t sorry to tell you. You want to make "a difference" shell out some money.

No, really.

You're acting like you have a Stormy Daniels' level yeast infection. We made a super with a team that was on life support early in the season. Cohen is doing fine. He ain't LT.

Did you see my further comments in this thread? They went with Vandy mainly because DNF is still under construction. See Kendall’s tweet. It didn’t have anything to do with RPI, head to head, or conference record like some have claimed.

Some in our fan base just need to stop. None of this is surprising. Here's what needs to happen:

1) Stadium needs to get finished

2) City of Starkville needs to do a better job of not sucking so bad.

As far as the coaching search, I'm sure everyone was pissed when we didn't get Pruitt and it seemed like we missed. Then we got Moorhead. If coaching searches were fan driven every school would suck because nothing would be done fast enough and no one would agree on anything. Get it done right, not fast.

It's amazing how much some of us bitch and complain yet we still have the lowest athletic budget. Until we are making ourselves a bigger monetary player (which is hard to do when you don't have a completed stadium and a massive event in town) you just have to take a few lumps every now and again. This stadium is going to be why we host and are dominant for years to come. So what if we sacrifice 2-3 home games this year? Get over the butt hurt and let Cohen do his damn job. Doesn't need a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks telling him he stinks at his job because he doesn't.

Then construction was the problem. So be it... we overachieved this year and much like we had to go on the road to start the year.. we have to go on the road to finish the year. So we can have the best damn stadium in college baseball next year. It sucks but I'll accept it

Just for the record, I was ecstatic when we didn't hire Pruitt. Whether that was our decision or his decision, I don't care.

Knowing how the NCAA is into PC stuff: I have to think the "student-athlete experience" part is really a shot at the state flag and not all about Nashville being a better city than S'ville.

I'm going to choose to believe the construction was the main issue, but I think they through the other part in there as a subtle jab.

We cancelled a Friday night and Saturday night as soon as we heard this morning after we got tickets in Nashville. We are just staying with my sister in law so luckily we didn't need a hotel room in Nashville.
