This is a good question.

My thought is I think Cohen would be better for MSU specifically because he is an alumni and understands MSU baseball and the tradition that is here. That said, I think the biggest thing that Corbin has over Cohen is he has won a National Championship. To my knowledge we have never had a coach that has won a NC at another school as our head coach. And that could be beneficial the next time we go to Omaha. No question about that.

About Corbin and I will say this about him- if you don't like small ball he may not be who would want as your coach. Granted Vandy's stadium has that slick astro turf and he has always built his teams mostly around speed and defense even moreso than Cohen. In my opinion, MSU is best as a blue collar hard working team so the small ball does translate there some to a degree because you have to hustle to play small ball well. I do like the fact that Cohen's teams have more power than Corbin's do in general or at least a philosophy to go along with the small ball. The other thing is Vandy is really known for their pitching and those are normally the guys that they have that people wonder how on Earth they got them through the MLB draft. And if he could get us some of those pitchers that would be a very good thing. I would be interested to know and see if he would change his offensive philosophy to match our stadium and what Cohen does with power but maybe with more stolen bases? That would be my biggest question about him. If it is Corbin, I would at least like to keep Will Coggin as the hitting coach. Corbin just lost his hitting coach to Tulane as he took their head coaching job.

I really don't think we could go wrong with either Cohen or Corbin to be totally honest with you. In fact, Corbin was my second choice to be the head coach at MSU when we were looking for Polk's replacement at the time.
