Haven't been following closely enough to know what Cohen said. It appears he proclaimed a big name would be coming and you were sold on someone and promoted it several times. Almost identical situation happened during the TN search with Volfan30. He had someone giving him info and was pretty confident about it and posting about it just like you were. It happens and you move on. Welcome to the world of coaches using your school for more money every 3-5 years(I believe Gundy has gotten us twice now lol), aka the life of a Tennessee fan for the past decade or so.

From what I remember, Cohen said that they would be hiring a big name coach with CWS experience. Somehow that turned into Corbin, Schloss, and McDonnell. Most people said State fans were crazy to think Schloss or Corbin would even consider the job. State fans were convinced Schloss was a done deal. Then when he wasn't, it was McDonnell. Then when he wasn't, it was Godwin at ECU. Corbin never even entertained an offer. I honestly don't know how State got played. I think the fans just played themselves or were played by "insiders" on their home boards. McDonnell at least made logical sense, but even getting him would be a reach. College baseball coaches at good programs just don't job hop like football coaches do. I can only think of two: Serrano from Fullerton to Tennessee. That obviously didn't work out. And then Garrido from Fullerton to Texas.
