Of course you include a regular season SEC championship in your list of great coaching accomplishments since your coach has done it.
Yea. and done it at Kentucky. A school that gives 1/100th of a **** about baseball that MSU does. Bianco has had better resources to do it and still hasn't done it. Now Cohen has much better resources than he did at KY. As Sean Connery say on Celebrity Jeapordy, "The game is afoot".
How many regional wins does he have? Doesn't he have as many as Polk last year and as many as you and me?
And Polk took a team to the CWS year before last and he's a freaking mental case. Now sit there and tell me that Polk is a better manager two years ago that Cohen is now.
Coaches can really only do so much and that is to recruit well, improve the players that make it your school and put you in a position to advance to Omaha.
And Cohen's recruiting so far has Yancy Porter flat out lying to the spirit faithful about how much scholarship money that Cohen is offering. What does that tell you about Cohen's recruiting so far? I think it's pretty damn good. He has also already proven that he can improve the players that make it to school at KY... what was left on the list again?
You can't sit there and say hey you lost this game or that game so you're not a good coach.
Obviously never watched a Polk managed game.
He built a powerhouse program from nothing.
Powerhouse? woahhh step back a bit there Backer. Still a ways to go before you can start powerhouse talk. There is no such thing as a powerhouse baseball team that has never set foot in Rosenblatt Stadium.
