You’re just mad we didn’t pull an Ed O and make a long term decision based on what happened over a span of 8 weeks.
No, y'all just struck out with all the major candidates your AD promised you would hire and, instead, hired a guy who has never coached anywhere near MS State for his recruiting, an area y'all weren't struggling with to start. Not to mention, you now have no coaches on staff to handle pitching. Lemonis was a hitting coach and recruiter as an assistant at Louisville and the one coach he retained at State is your hitting coach and head recruiter.
Henderson actually complimented the rest of your staff better IMO, as his experience was coaching pitching and recruiting. And it's nothing like Orgeron. Henderson actually won more than the guy before him. Orgeron merely put a band-aid on LSU's season
You know good and well if this was Cohen's #1 target all along, you would have been less than inspired. I don't think it's a terrible hire, but let's not pretend like the majority of you had even heard of him before today.

It's not terrible, but he is not great. It's like Stansbury- after the research I've done, I've seen people that know about Lemonis say that he is a very good recruiter, but an average game coach.

Definitely wasn’t my first pick, but I have full confidence in Cohen after he has made a great hires IMO (Moorhead). Cohen is a baseball guy. I don’t think he makes this kind of hire unless he know damn well that Lemonis at least has the potential to be a great coach for us along with the current staff that we have in place. I also have little doubt when it comes to hiring a pitching coach. That has been Cohens forte the past years including assistants like Butch Thompson, Wes Johnson, and Gary Henderson. Cohen has a hand in all of these decisions more than people know. He might be an arse, but Cohen is an intelligent guy.
