I wanna knw whose voting for what. Lol
You must be on mobile. For whatever reason, you can't click one of the choices on mobile and you don't see the resultsOriginally Posted by preachermatt83
I'm on mobile but I see results fine, I was saying I want to see who chose what. Lol.
I went with 2
I went with #2 as well.
I went with #1, strictly because I don't believe in requiring a head coach to make staff changes.....I think that if you have to do that, then you have the wrong guy as head coach.
#2
After cooling off a day, I went with 2 also. I really hope Cohen gets this turned around bc he's one of our own.
I was 3 earlier this week. I changed to 2.
2, we need a true hitting coach
For those that are demanding staff changes, what do you want Strick to tell Cohen? "Yes, I'll keep you but here is what you have to change on your staff." This is what we got into with Stansbury trying to force changes that he wouldn't live with. I agree that Strick should talk through the problems with the staff and place expectations for what improvements need to be seen on the field for next year. But I've never been crazy about forcing specific changes on the HC if the HC doesn't see the change needs to be made himself. After all it is the HC's program for as long as you keep him around. Forcing a change is a recipe that can make for some bad results like we got at the end of Sherrill's tneure. I definitely want some changes to be made but I hope it comes because Cohen realizes that the status quo is not going to cut it if he is going to succeed here long term.
If Cohen is the coach then any coaching change should be up to him. I personally would like to see some type of change made but I don't see the benefit of it coming from the AD. if Cohen thinks the current staff can turn it around then let him have at it. Of course, I'm also of the opinion that as long as next year is in any way better than this year Cohen will not be fired.
So if we get 12th place in sec and miss a regional again, you wouldn't fire Cohen? I think you're being WAY too lenient
I've really never understood the concept of telling a coach he has to make staff changes. If I was an AD and I thought the staff that the head coach chose was the problem I would go ahead and fire the coach. Why would a coach accept being forced to make staff changes. If they win they will not get credit because it will be attributed to the changes and if they don't win they are fired. It seems at the most you are just prolonging the inevitable.
Are there many instances where a head coach was forced to make staff changes and it worked out long term for the coach and the school?
1
3 would be my next option
For the guys that wouldn't require staff changes... Would you require a bat change? Do you look at that as same as staff requirements?
I think that was just his opinion but I don't think I would agree. I know Strick desparately wants Cohen to succeed, and Cohen is one of our own and had a good HC track record coming in, BUT, it would be very difficult for Cohen to survive if he misses NCAA regional play 2 years in a row this deep into his tenure. Especially when you consider Bianco at OM has never done that while being at the school in this State we have normally considered our little brother when it comes to baseball.
I would be fine with Stricklin requiring that. And no, I don't consider that at the level of forcing personnel changes on the staff. I'm not sure why Stricklin or Cohen either one agreed to use unproven equipment in the first place. No other high profile program (even Adidas schools) have been willing to use those bats other than us.
