Paul saying it looks like Cohen will be AD

[preachermatt83]

Cannizzaro will be the baseball coach.

Then there are going to be some furious people out there. Hiring a guy who has zero experience just so we can hire Cohen as AD would be the dumbest thing we could possibly do.

[Dawg61]

What about his alleged job searching before that?

Yea great idea Todd turn the new AD thread into another fire Mullen thread.

[Todd4State]

And here's something else to think about- what if Cohen decides all of a sudden he doesn't like being the AD and he misses coaching baseball? That could get awkward with whomever the baseball coach is. I can't see Tim Corbin going "Oh, OK I'll just be the volunteer assistant now." Actually I can't see very many coaches doing that.

Would you prefer another Fitz should throw left handed thread?

[preachermatt83]

The only way I'd ever get behind this is if we had a HR hire lined up. And an inexperienced assistant ain't it. Period.

[Dawg61]

Over a fire Mullen thread, yes actually I would prefer that.

Before will Redmond?

Besides Corbin, what other HR hire could there be? Who else has consistently won NC or been to the finals?

Brian O'Conner- not coming to a SEC West school as long as Manieri is at LSU, Holliday at Oklahoma State who has deep family ties there, Gilmore at Coastal Carolina where he is an alum among others.

Not steak but Cannozarro has a lot of MLB ties and ties to Louisiana. He's actually a Tulane alum and he is LSU's recruiting coordinator. He just hasn't been coaching for very long.

Here's something scary to think about- he's a Tulane alum and they passed over him for head coach.

[Political Hack]

If the will Redmond deal is correct, that could explain Mullen's allegedly job searching last year once dak left

Why would 2012 be a deciding factor for job searching in 2015? Not following that.

And that's why I would be very pessimistic if this is the best we could do as MSU baseball.

[MarketingBully]

Corbin IMO is a pipe dream as stated above. He has so many advantages where he is currently at. He would be crazy to leave unless we almost doubled his salary.

He would just use the advantages we have here to his advantage. Corbin is Vanderbilt baseball as I stated a billion times. Their program will turn to shit when he leaves. If Vandy has all of these advantages as you say it does, why did it take Corbin to realize them? Vandy's program was shit when he got there and it will be shit again when he leaves.

[BankerDog]

Look for O'Conner from UVA or the hitting coach from LSU to be named Head Coach of our baseball program if this happens.

Also, from what I've been told Strick was told to look around by Mark. Mark told him he needed to do something about some assistants on the football team and Strick refused to press the issue on Mullen.

Cohen knows how to recruit to Starkville as well as Howland. If they're bringing big time guys here, so can our football coach. The talent we have here is a result of someone wanting to get out and handing recruiting over to Sleepy and Tony while he, Gonzo look for HC jobs. Cohen also will demand excellence from his coaches, I think it has a potential to be a great hire.

[BB30]

It would be an absolute fail if we go with Cannozarro, he may end up being a good coach. I don't want to be the school that finds out if he can sink or swim as a HC especially when we are getting close to getting our new stadium etc. Honestly, I think Cohen might could make a good AD but, I think what is best for MSU right now is for Cohen to stick to baseball for several more years. Let us get the stadium built and hopefully he snags an NC at some point in the near future and then I would be fine with him replacing whoever takes over as AD. But, we are just now getting stable in baseball and all it will take is one tank of a hire to send us right back to where we were. If we had some of the built in advantages that LSU, UF, and Vandy have then I wouldn't be nearly as nervous. Obviously our baseball job is a pretty coveted one but it is not a top 3-5 job like some would like to think.

[Political Hack]

Cannizzaro will be the baseball coach.

I've actually heard this too, but he's so young I can't see that being it. Maybe they're trying to get him before he becomes the next big thing, but that's a risky move to hand your program over to guy with such little experience coaching at a major level. He's super talented though. Just not a lot of experience.

I can't buy into Cohen being it with the way this has unfolded. It would make Keenum look like he's completely lost.

Absolutely!!

[Steakonastick]

I do not know much about him. Except all the national baseball guys drool over him. He is seen as the next Dan McDonnell. I would be more worried if we did not have a Gary Henderson on staff. And I can't see Cohen leaving the program to some idiot.

Yup!
