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.

*ahem* except us ones in Texas who knew it was obvious Schloss was angling for a better TCU deal. And not just one on the books.

This is what happened. The guys "in the know" on paid sites kept feeding that narrative.

So what you are saying is that Cohen needs to pursue Fullerton's HC?***
