Ron Polk is one of most overrated coaches. Quite frankly he's a big reason we're in this mess in the first place. Screw him. He couldn't win the National Championship with the most talented players in 1985 when no one else in the SEC cared about baseball. And he never won the SEC after 1989, when competition kicked in. I regret losing John Cohen as the baseball coach. We were on a good streak.


Dumb post of the year. Ron Polk took a freaking Ga Southern team to the CWS. And after he retired from Msu Georgia baseball was a mess and they hired him to fix chit and within 2 years took them to the CWS.

As far as Msu goes, Polk spent too much time fighting the Ncaa instead of recruiting. I give you that. He did the dirty work for not only the Sec but college baseball when the Ncaa tried to kill it. Do some homework and get back to me. You know nothing.

It's true he fcked MSU up in later years but he was spent and his passion became battling the Ncaa who were trying to destroy college baseball because it was not generating revenue. You need a history lesson. If not for Polk, college baseball might not be what it is today mr know it all.

Just surprised Cohen is not getting more flack for his hiring of AC in the first place. He literally had no college baseball resume' beyond his 2 ys as a hitting coach at LSU. He got a lot of prop for his recruiting success but then it is fair to assume a lot of that success came from the LSU letters on his uniform.

How many teams cared about Baseball in the 1970s? Let me tell you. Not many.

He only went to the CWS 6 times as a coach for 4 decades. That's not elite. That's not dominant.

When is the last time Polk has even been to Starkville? I've been to several baseball games in recent years. Nowhere to be seen. I've been to a few LSU games and I think half of them I've seen Bertman.

Ron Polk had this idea that he was Mississippi State baseball and threw a fit when he was called out on being a mediocre coach. If he had any maturity, he would be much more favored by fans like me. But he's not. I have no feelings for him.
