We have a very good hitting coach on the staff but he was not let to do his job. Watched Iowa in regional, which is where Zach was before he came here, and their approach was much better than ours at MSU. I understand Cohen meddled with Butch and his coaching of pitchers. We have a coach at 3 rd base that is useless as tits on a bull. He may be able to recruit but he damn sure can't coach or coach 3rd base.
if you really know about baseball and recruiting, then you'd know most of the guys on this team were recruited for the kind of play that got us to the CWS finals. Cohen has faults, but to jump on his recruiting is nonsense. The ball changed, and it changed the game. The NCAA did it to bring back more homers, etc. Our team wasn't built for that, especially given the size of our ballyard.

Give him a chance to get and coach the right types of players for this new era. This past year was a benefit for teams that already had rosters that fit the new ball better.
