The new head coach of the Mississippi State baseball team has an interesting resume. It looks a little something like this.
- Assistant Coaching Experience: Two Years
- Scouting Experience: Six Years
- MLB Playing Experience: 10 Plate Appearances
The resume does not jump out at you as the obvious hire for one of the top head coaching positions in all of college baseball. But John Cohen had a different mindset when he was making his first hire as Athletic Director and his own successor for the baseball program.
What could have been an exhaustive search to replace John Cohen, the new AD decided to act quickly because he knew the guy he wanted.
