but I can't get excited over any of these moves.

A first time head coaching gig is not an elite hire at all. It is an experiment. Not saying it won't work out but it is not an elite hire.

At least we know our baseball program has fallen behind Tulane's now.

I like it. Just a gut feeling.

Harsh, but completely fair. From the outside looking in, it looks like amateur hour in StarkSville. I could live with Cohen as AD because he will prioritize winning first and foremost, but there are experienced and/or more seasoned athletic administrators that also want to win.

Shit like this is why most people in the media think we are a joke. Sorry I know people don't want to hear that but it's the truth.

I knew that this is what would happen when people in the know were floating Tim Corbin "or Andy Cannizarro assistant who Cohen thinks is really good." Try to get everyone's hopes up and then try to damage control once the truth is revealed.

Madison Central runs their athletic programs better than MSU. So yeah- it looks like amateur hour.

Hopefully the Cannzarro rumor is false. I can deal with Cohen at AD.
-
The more I think about this situation the more something isn't adding up. Why deny Cohen is AD, then go all 007 secret with shit and hire Cannazarro? To me, it just doesn't make a lot sense.
Would Cohen want his first big move as AD to be hiring some nobody to run HIS program? I just don't see it.

Corbin isn't going to come here to get potentially micromanaged by Cohen. We almost have to hire an assistant coach in case Cohen really sucks as an AD so he could slide back in as the head baseball coach.

This comment is a joke.

Our current HF coach had no head coaching experience, and look what he has accomplished. He still can't recruit, and still miss manages games and play calling. We have been to the CWS 9 times, and the best we have done is runner-up. The guy that lead us to our best finish is likely the guy who will be our new AD. Do you guys really think he would turn over the program to someone who will not take pride and work his ass off for this program? Henderson will be his assistant which should be helpful to the young skipper. I guess Cohen could get back into the good graces with Polk, and hire Raffo? It could be worse, but do we really know who the HC will be?

Cohen as AD is a smart move. He is very smart/outside the box thinker and will hold all coaches accountable for winning. He also won't mind stepping on toes that need to be stepped on to get the right things done much like Byrne did. That had to happen to get us out of the 1970s we were stuck in.
As for Cannizaro, he's a great recruiter and hitting guy with one year of assistant coaching experience. Hard to believe this Top 10/15 national program is going to be put in the hands of someone with one year of assistant coaching experience no matter how promising his future looks. In several years he'd be ready but now...not sure...it's definitely a gamble. Personally, I believe there would be a LOT of interest in this program from some top sitting head coaches around the country even though it's November.

I bet there are some experienced AD's that would like our job too.
