Polk came in and we declined the next year, hosted a regional when that group was made up of juniors and then declined after that.
Yep, and people forget that even though we malign the Polk II era, it still got us to Omaha. Just another reason to suggest that getting a team to the CWS still doesn't mean you are necessarily the right head coach for the long haul. I'm thinking though at this time that if Cohen already had his guy prior to the CWS run then that will stick, but if Cohen is still trying to get someone the candidates may very well back away because of not wanting to follow what Henderson just did and Cohen will hire Hendo pretty much by default.
