John Cohen

If John has shown me one thing since he became AD, it’s that he is a pro and coaching searches. I have the utmost confidence that we come out smelling better than it feels tonight.

If he stays true to form, we'll have a new head coach in place by Thursday.

He might have somebody picked out but a hire will not take place until the season is over. Nobody is going to leave their current job during the season. That is another factor about this that puzzles me and that is, what in the world transpired to make this happen less than a week into the season?

Fortunately Gary Henderson has head coaching experience.

We should have known that the 17th Head Baseball coach at State would 17 up. Here's to hoping #18 will be better.

Here's a thought. If 17 means what it means here, what does 18 mean? Is it the afterglow or the post coital nap?

 

[Shmuley]

18 = post-orgasmic bliss.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

Yeah, I can't imagine hiring anyone right now.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Have more faith, this is the IB we're talking about here. He will hire who he wants, when he wants!!

I was being facetious, but, honestly, he could hire someone who is not currently coaching in college and they could slide right in. Whether someone wants to step in mid season is another question, but it is possible to make a hire soon rather than waiting till June. With Henderson stepping up, though, there's no urgency.

Yeah, I would not want anybody coming in at this point in the season. He would know nothing about the players and they would know nothing about him. We are much better off with Henderson as the interim. The only thing is recruiting but Cohen could step in and help with that.

just when you think the program is in good hands with an upward trajectory and a national title seems inevitable with the momentum we have gained...wham. Cohen's next hire is huge. we have everything in place to get a home-run hire, but we have to get a great recruiter that gets talent to campus. just unreal...
