    Accurate. However, c or d isn't as far down as it sounds.

    We aren't getting any of those 3. So move on

    We aren’t hiring Ming unless John Cohen is a failure as an AD. It’s just not happening otherwise.

    Who recruited all those upperclassmen at Kentucky? Hmmmmm

    Meanwhile in Starkville, we have a bunch of freshmen, and our upperclassmen are not power hitters, and our fans expect more. and if they are power hitters, they suck

    Poole finally hit a bomb against decent pitching, need Vansau to step up

    What?s great about all this baseball coach talk is that it will stretch out through the entire baseball season and we probably won?t know anything because Cohen seems to be a silent working AD(which I like). It will keep us all talking and throwing out names and many many threads will be started about the subject.

    Just for shits and giggles, why don’t we just re-invent college baseball coaching?

    (1) forget coaches as the $1M-$2M team “grandfather”
    (2) have a program CEO, the “GM” that works for the AD
    (3) then have 3 world class baseball instructors from AAA backgrounds

    The instructors have a $200K market rate from pro ball numbers I have looked up

    The kids would probably welcome getting MLB development from connected guys rather than college professor equivalents. Isn’t the prowess of instruction how the kids pick their elite team?

    Think about business students- rather have classes thought by fortune 200 VPs and Presidents or a dude reading about business for 20 years

    I'm not saying we are. I'm asking what makes Corbin any different than McDonnell/Schlosnagle.

    I do hope Cohen takes a swing at those type guys though. Louisville and TCU are better programs than us currently, but we have the infrastructure (facilities/fan support) that TCU and Louisville will never have if they don't have them with their current runs of success, that's a worthy selling point to at least try in my opinion. Louisville average attendance was 1500 last season.

    Elliot avent?? Gosh that would be very underwhelming. That's not a swinging for the fences hire.. like not at all. I'd 20 to 1 rather have 30 other coaches than I had avent. I'd love to hire mike fox though.. I don't care if he's 90

    Kentucky has a really good hitting coach named Todd Guilliams. We should probably hire him regardless of who our coach is honestly. He should get some of the credit for Kentucky's success.

    True. And Cohen has got to let the new guy hire his own staff and not try to push his guys on him.

    That's why I am in favor of a full reboot. Get elite coaches that can recruit with MLB scouting ties.

    I don't think our staff was pushed on Cann. The timing of the hire complicated things and Cohen didn't have a problem with Cann replacing Coggin with Gautreau. That's where experience as a coach comes in- coaches that have experience know who to hire and who they work well with.
