I hate to tell them but Momma already called. By that logic Bear would have wound up at Arkansas.

What kind of moron compiled that list???
Would be shocking if it happened. John is from T-Town and all- and Bama could certainly afford him. I just cant see it.
But you can always hopeQuote:

I think they will go after Tulane's coach David Pierce who used to be at Troy and turned Tulane around in one year or Marc Calvi from South Alabama who was at South Carolina as an assistant.
To be honest Kentucky's coach leaving probably has more impact on MSU long term because Gary Henderson was Cohen's pitching coach there and was also with Cohen at Florida. If/when Wes Johnson leaves, that's probably who is going to be our next pitching coach. Hopefully down the road a few years.
Also- there is some speculation that Texas is going to target O'Sullivan at Florida. And Dan McDonnell just signed a million dollar contract with Louisville- which means he's not likely to go to Ole Miss anytime soon.
Haha, no.
The question would be could they afford our counter offer?Quote:

Bama has way more money than us. Its more of a "would they pay it?"Quote:

I don't think they would pay it for a baseball coach was what I was saying.Quote:

I don't see any way it would happen. He hasn't resided in T-town since he was 18 years old. They won't outpay us. And he's only an hour from there now if he ever wants to go back and visit. Just doesn't make sense in any aspect.Quote:

I'm concerned about many things when it comes to MSU athletics, but Cohen leaving for another coaching vacancy isn't one of those concerns.
I'm thinking he goes to Kentucky.
Shit. When Cohen leaves, what are the chances we can convince Polk to come out of retirement? He never bunted in the 2nd inning!!**

Yes. Every other year for a 3 game weekend set.Quote:

Doesn't Bama's baseball coach have to mow Saban's lawn and shine his shoes? I don't think Cohen wants to do that.
Cohen in a pine box**
The heck? Why on earth would 'Momma' for Cohen be Alabama?
Because he is from Tuscaloosa originally. But that's about it. When you add together the years he played at State to the number of years he's been our coach now, it's probably not too much less than the total years he spent in Tuscaloosa.Quote:

I don't think it would be about money with Cohen either.
It an't like he's out west wanting to get close to home. Hell he only lives a hour or so away now. Why would he leave? Miss state is more of a brand name in football then Bama and at State Baseball is almost given equal footing as football.
Ha Ha this time last year several of yall would have helped Cohen pack. Funny how a year changes everything. It is good to be winning in baseball again.
By that logic MSU will always be 'Momma' to AJ Brown because he is from Starkville. That thinking is VERY flawed.Quote:
