Chris Lemonis Named Mississippi State Head Baseball Coach

I don’t have a problem with the hire. College baseball is an interesting and odd sport so there are no guarantees with anyone. He appears to have done well recruiting. He will have advantages at State over everywhere else he’s been that should help him improve his recruiting. Like I said though, college baseball is odd. He will have to be careful to not recruit too well and lose a bunch of commits to the draft every year. I like the fact his dad is a state grad.

The only issue I have with the whole thing has to do with Cohen talking too big early on. I kind of equate it to if he’d said during the football search “we’re looking at James Franklin, Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban, then come home with Moorhead. And I don’t mean that in any way to slight Moorhead. I think he will be great and he’s got me more excited about MSU football than I’ve ever been, but Cohen obviously put his foot in his mouth when he should’ve stayed quiet.
