This week, I was surprised to find out that the Mississippi State Bulldogs had hired someone from LSU’s staff to become their next head baseball coach. Like, what had happened to John Cohen?
Well, Cohen has officially become MSU’s new athletic director, taking over for Greg Byrne’s successor Scott Stricklin. Stricklin took the A.D. job at Florida, one that Byrne had been rumored as a candidate for.
So what was Cohen’s last game as the head baseball coach for the Bulldogs? How about a 6-5 loss to Arizona in Starkville in the Super Regional, allowing the Wildcats to advance to Omaha, where they would eventually lose in the third game of the CWS Final to Coastal Carolina.
