UK baseball coach Nick Mingione previews 2018 season Jon Hale/Courier Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Almost 10 years after John Cohen left Kentucky for Mississippi State, UK may face the prospect of losing another baseball coach to the Bulldogs.
Mississippi State baseball coach Andy Cannizaro resigned Monday, leaving Cohen, now the Bulldogs' athletics director, searching for a new permanent coach. Speculation from multiple national college baseball writers quickly pointed to UK coach Nick Mingione, a former Cohen assistant at UK and Mississippi State, as a leading candidate for the job after the season.
