Go get him. Granted, dude did wrong, he pissed away the golden opportunity, but if sports teaches anything, give a second chance … see what he can do. Just take that 17 cell phone way (Cough Cough Pearl and Freeze). The way this NIL and Portal era is going … we are not getting Tony V. If you want your guy, go get him. Worse that happens, we barely make Regionals every 4 years. I get it, this guy burnt his damn bridges … I know everyone pisses on him, but … if you want to be in the top of the SEC …. Bite the damn bullet. Sky is not looking so blue right now in baseball. Granted it’s a damn far fetched reach, but this university has to shake something up.

Where there you go …. Go grab your next coach to take over, so your *** can ***** about who you think we needed to get. Then you can also ***** about prices, seating, whatever it is you like to complain about. Then also ***** about how this administration can’t go grab a top notch guy to turn it around lol. Thank you Perd (Couch Warrior).

Guy couldn't even cut it in High School ball last I heard. But, yeah, let's go get him. Lol

Just win baby
Thank you Coast. I didn’t say it was the popular choice at all, but …. Wins make BS go away. Thank you Beard (Sweet 16). Thank you Lane (Been fired from ever job you’ve had, but 10, 11 win seasons); But like you said … wins baby!

That would be exactly what they do: hire him after Biano “retires” and then Cann takes them to their 2nd CWS after being there for two years. (Not sure if these are needed or not ***)

In 7 years, he hasn't coached above the HS level. Why do you think that is? Could it be that the college baseball world doesn't have the same opinion of him as emotional fans?
I get it, this MF should be burnt at the Stake, what I’m saying is …. “COULD” this coach, be given a second chance, to make up for his 17 faults? Dude definitely burnt all his bridges, what I’m asking is …. Can you learn from mistakes, and bring the university back into baseball Elite?

Memory is a fucky thing but I could swear he was greatly disliked by the players when he was here, and that they were the ones to rat him out for texting his side piece during a game we were losing.
You are correct. I think JAKE came out and said he didn’t run practice sometimes the way he was used to. And yes, the Mayors opinion is greatly taken, what I’m asking though, is if you want to get back to hosting SUPERS as a floor, would Cann bring back what we need? I’m not telling you guys, I’m asking? What assistant are we going to get to bring that back? Because apparently Lemon, can recruit top classes, but you’re seeing the result of lack of leadership (TA’s exact words on Bo Bounds Show) on these MSU teams. And I damn sure don’t like quoting the bounds show.

Oh, then no. Cann isn't the answer any more than Polk III, Lemonis, or any other high school baseball coach is.

There we go, thank you for an honest opinion! It’s just frustrating now, and no clue where we turn to right the ship. Like I said, not the popular choice, at all, but State has to hit a home run with an assistant, or think outside the box on a former/random guy. Tough choice.

Love all you guys and value all your opinions. I live with a damn Alabama grad … so yeah, I deal with that BS. Funny thing, she couldn’t name anyone associated with their basketball/baseball program (BTW Ever). But now, she tries to keep up with baseball lol. Go figure.

Wow. Your jimmies seem rustled.

Seriously, you’re not even worth engaging with. Cann was probably the most comically unqualified hire in the history of SEC athletics, and was / is a despicable human being to boot. The man was literally fired from a high school job in the city where he grew up after he lost our gig. Let that sink in.

You’re talking about firing Lemonis for letting things get off the rails after 4 years, and hiring a dude who couldn’t even keep things in line for 15 months. You don’t give second chances to people who never even deserved first chances.

You misunderstand me. He is not thought highly of as a coach, regardless of off field issues. He would have a good job now if he were thought of as a good coach. It’s been 7 years.

Crazy but it could have been Cann vs Vitello in SEC matchups and in Omaha

He is coaching 11u baseball. This is a really dumb discussion.

That’s wild. He’s going for a full blown Benjamin Button baseball career.

1) MLB player for the Yankees and Rays (fired after 14 games)
2) SEC Head baseball coach (fired after 1.05 seasons)
3) High School baseball coach (fired after 3 seasons)
4) 11U coach (TBD)

My guess is he is trending towards being a rec league ball field groundskeeper, or an associate in the Wal Mart sporting goods section right before he starts drawing social security.

His daughter goes to the same Jr HS as my son. They needed an volunteer to unofficially coach the baseball team. He was not asked. It helps that a former Tulane assistant was available to help, but still.

This is officially the low point of a coach at MSU. The fanbase wanting a previous coach back that was terminated means sunset is getting close for the current coach.

Happened during Croom when people wanted Jackie back… Stans during Rick Ray (and Howland).. and now Cann with Lemonis.

It marks the official low point of a coaching tenure just as the atomic clock can indicate the top of the hour.

i don't know what the heck you are talking about, he was on the phone, getting things lined up from the dugout, when those sneaky, ungrateful, dirty players ratted him out.

i have the same feeling about Lemonis that I did with Stansbury ....it's just time for a change..Whether or not it will be in our best interest in the long term remains to be seen ...our basketball program never recovered. Even with us having tournament teams, we can't fill the hump more than three times a season

Will someone spill the beans on this Coggin situation? Goodness so many people claim to have knowledge about it, but no one is saying 17 all. Let's hear what he did that was so awful!
Who said he did anything awful? I think someone just cryptically typed his name for some reason.

^^THIS^^

Is not the same thing as what your original post said.

"Cann …. Make your 2nd shot mean something

Your thread topic and original post said that he was exactly what we needed if we want to be "in the top of the SEC". LOL

No one has. But, there are people that when his name is mentioned to replace Lemonis that are vehemently against it. With some imply something happened when he was here and he pissed off a lot of people. I'm curious what the deal is because of the assistant coaches people keep bringing up he seems to be one we should strongly consider. Certainly doesn't have to be something awful.

I’m not sure who he could have pissed off that actually matters. An AD who’s no longer here, a head coach who already got fired, an assistant coach who is about to be fired, an assistant coach who is now the head coach at Utah, and a bunch of players who are now gone. Who else?

Absolutely no idea, but I think he should be one of the first calls or the first call, if State goes the assistant coach route.
