If we scored a lot and he lost he'd be ok for awhile. If he had power arms and still lost he'd be ok for awhile. But he has none of that and worst of all he's teaching Little League strategy in the SEC. Seriously. It's Little League. Walk, bunt, hit for contact never power. That's what is taught to the 12 year olds in Everytown, USA. Then on top of all that he has this never ending urge to influence every game to the tune of 82 consecutive different lineups and all the Cohenball calls he makes every game. Cohen has worn thin and he's done it in record fashion. If Cohen gets fired its only because he did it to himself. MSU baseball is much much bigger than Cohen. It's a highly coveted position to be the MSU HC. If he insists on teaching little league ball that's fine. He just needs to do it in little league not SEC baseball.
And what do you expect hitters like Jake Vickerson, Jacob Robson, Seth Heck, and Cody Brown to do other than hit singles and bunt? Do you really think that Cohen, Rudy Jaramillo, Charlie Lau, Clark, or Palmeiro could make them into power hitters? That would be like Astros fans expecting Jose Altuve to hit 30 home runs because their hitting coach had a magic wand or something. Yet another example of how our fans don't understand the game.

Cohen built us for the baseball culture at the time- and it resulted in two SR's, and a CWS appearance making it to the finals. And now he is recruiting more power hitters like Rooker, Cole Gordon, Nate Lowe, and hopefully Riley and Pickett make it to adjust for the current era.

I'm pretty sure Cohen gets it. It's pretty much public knowledge that Cohen wanted the ball change to be delayed to give us a chance to adjust our roster. If he was deadest on small ball, I'm pretty sure that would have never come out.
