With the Andy Cannizzo ordeal, who would you hire?

Augie Garrido

I hope we throw big money at Tim Corbin

Corbin isn't going anywhere. And for all we know, Vandy pays him plenty.

Randy Cannoli

Don't know much about him, though

I did hear he has massive biceps and fancies blondes.

I think Tim Corbin will be offered. I expect him to stay at Vanderbilt though.

Jay Johnson at Arizona is probably going to be the man.

Tier 3 is
Jim Schlossnagle, TCU
Nick Mingione, Kentucky
Butch Thompson, Auburn

If it goes lower than that then its a shitshow and Cohen should resign as AD and become baseball coach and we should hire another AD.

I think you are quite frankly. Most of our fanbase has this ego that we were great because we did something in 1985. Except we didn't. And he had an all time choke in 1989.

I simply am not going to appreciate a mediocre coach. It's a new age at Mississippi State. He doesn't want to be part of it. And I don't want him part of it either.

No thanks. I have had all I want from Dallas Baptist (Wes Johnson).

LOL. Still blaming him for something that only happened at MSU, and after he left?

Y'all thought he was the greatest thing in the world until he left. Then it became his fault that you had injuries later on.

you say Polk was mediocre. What does that make Cohen? Cohen made the CWS once in 13 years at Kentucky and State. He missed the NCAAT in 6 of 13 years. He made the super regionals twice in 13 years. I don't think Cohen or Polk are mediocre fwiw. Ron Polk took three different programs to the CWS. You could almost say 4 because he had two different stints at State. He took Ga State, then Miss State, then UGA, then State again. If Polk hadn't done what he did, Miss State baseball wouldn't be what it became. And for as good as you may think a coach like Tim Corbin is, he's only made 3 CWS in 14 years (21%) at Vandy. Polk made the CWS 5 times in 22 years (23%) in his first stint at State and 8 times in 35 years (23%) total as a coach. There are very few coaches with a resume like Polk's.

Tier 3 is Jim Schlossnagle, TCU

Are you high? That is your tier 3. He’s on par with Corbin. He turned TCU from nothing to a team that has been to Omaha 4 years in a row and made the tourney 13 of his 14 years.


I see no way you have a shot at Corbin or Schlossnagle.

Cohen had to rebuild the huge mess Polk left behind

what do you think Polk did when he originally took the job at Miss State? he built the program from the ground up.

quote:

Cohen took State places Polk could only dream of, the National Championship Game

---

Yes, Cohen had a cinderella season. What about the other 12 he had as a coach?

quote:

---

It is simply not that hard to go 1 out of 4 years at State when an egoistic coach doesn't destroy it.

---

Polk averaged 1 CWS appearance every 4 years

quote:

---

But Polk couldn't go 1/4 years.

---

He went to the CWS 23% of the time. Unless your angle is to argue nominal numbers, yes he could and did. But you know who didn't go to the CWS every 4 years? John Cohen. If it's so easy to do, how did Cohen manage to miss the NCAAT 6 times in 13 seasons at State? shite, Cohen had a losing record in his second to last season at State. Was that someone else's fault?

He did not build it from the ground up. You look at Chadwick, Dudy Noble, Patty, and the coach who took us to our first CWS: Paul Gregory. Mississippi State Baseball has a history of success. Polk has just been a liability.
