Yeah. The rumor I heard was that they went to Cohen with that as proof along with the fact that Cann just wasn't coaching them. Cohen checked into it with Gary Henderson and Mike Brown who confirmed it as well. The players were frustrated because Cann was too busy making rap videos with Bob Carskadon and doing Q&A's on bowl trips and they weren't getting coached by him at all.
God bless Gary Henderson and Mike Brown for keeping that team together. That could have VERY easily festered into a dumpster fire of a season. Instead we went to Omaha.
Totally agree. Lemonis walked into a good situation. So did Cann. It's just that Lemonis is a lot more focused on baseball. Not that Cann set the bar high on that but still. Sad thing is I think we have a National Championship with more stability in the coaching staff.
I agree. And people have to remember that we had a ton of freshmen that year and a lot of pitchers coming off of Tommy John and lost Rooker to the draft. That team could have folded and it would have been totally understandable. They and the coaches kept it from happening. I knew that was going to be a special group when I saw guys like Tanner Allen coming up big at the plate as freshmen. Small and Pilkington were both good pitchers- I think the pitching coach changes hurt Pilkington some.
Speaking of Henderson, where has he ended up?
Associate Head Coach at Utah
Coach...How old was Petrino when he fell off the wag...er..motorcycle? Age knows no boundaries when it comes to that sort of thing. As long as there's gas in the tank and you can get it cranked...
The lady he was texting and the lady who hit the eject button to Florida are rumored to be one in the same. I thought that was widely rumored? I have no proof as to its viability, but that's what I heard when I posted the "bad news is coming" thread before Cann got the eject button.
Yep. And considering I heard it from his then wife at the time, who was also a professor, in class, I consider it to be true. She literally told my entire class how he started grooming her as a freshman and then left his wife for her. Like it was romantic instead of creepy as hell.
