Yes. He needs to be involved with the program in whatever way possible and feasible.Quote:

His tantrum was also like 10 years ago.
I blame LT for bringing him back more than I blame Polk for wanting his boy to take over.
It's time to put the past behind us. Polk was wrong- and Byrne and Cohen proved him wrong. The first two years were tough. But Cohen brought our program back to where we want it- competing for National Titles and going to Omaha.
Polk will be a huge asset. There are tons of former players that played for him and he will be able to reach out and keep them in the loop which will help them program in many ways potentially. He has a lot of ties to the Cape Cod League. That will help with recruiting a little bit because if you come play for MSU you will almost have a spot reserved for you in the Cape. Polk will also help with older alumni keeping them in the loop as well.
I respect Polk for the level he got us to.
But He was so convinced he should be able to name his successor...TWICE. He shouldn't have left the first time. MacMahon only stayed what, another 4 years before hauling ass to Florida.
I'm smelling an awesome color analyst coming to MSU baseball radio.
Him and Ellis in the booth would be crazy good.
Cohen is really good but Polk has more stories to fill dead time.
We have found our ncaa liaison. ****
No. He wouldn't be good. No. Just no.Quote:

WINNER RIGHT HERE....lol...!!!!Quote:

Polk is a good man & wants the best for MSU. I welcome him with open arms.
The MSU world is better today.
Anyone not wanting this is out of touch. This can only be good for us. The dude is a college baseball legend. He is our Archie Manning. He was a pioneer in making college baseball what it is today and for that he should be applauded.
I'm sure he realizes looking back that he handled that situation terribly and I doubt this would be happening if he and Cohen hadn't mended any lasting disagreements. If Cohen is good with it now we should be as well.
Polkie back in the fold--right where he belongs--
