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