No. Time for a fresh start.

Give me a clean break.

He did a great job last year with the injury situation and has done pretty well this year. But he inherited 100% of these arms that are carrying us and I certainly don't see him lighting the recruiting trail on fire. Zero fr pitchers contributing.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

After watching him blow the game yesterday I don't want him around at all

 

[HumpDawgy]

Not after this weekend. Bringing Cole into the game yesterday was a head scratcher. Most of the pitchers on the team this year that were on it last year have regressed.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I'll defer to our AD

he has first hand knowledge.

Going to Gordon after he had already not pitched this weekend instead of James, Neff or Smith is grounds for wondering what the hell is going on with team chemistry and makes the players lose confidence in the head coach, what a bad decision yesterday.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

yeah. Gordon has not pitched that greatly lately and gave up the lead last weekend too. I knew it was over yesterday after we lost the lead. Our hitting is just not consistently good enough to come back like last sunday. When we do get great starts it's the coaches responsibility to make sure he chooses the right guy out of the pen to finish the job. no excuse to blow the great start yesterday when we had a three run lead.

 

[MissState1]

No. I want him completely gone.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

I expect the new coach to bring in his own folks. We are almost certainly going to get a sitting P5 head coach, and he’ll want to do things his way. I am pretty confident that at least one of the assistants (either pitching coach or hitting coach) will have ties to scouting/pro baseball circles. Maybe go get a MLB minor league pitching coordinator or something like that who has some ties to the area and has been a scout, similar to Alan Dunn at LSU.

 

[tired]

No. New head coach, new staff, more wins.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

I guess if I were willing to ask around about his recruiting and his relationships with players, that means I am considering. I just don't see a lot of obvious improvement from last year, and his management of the staff is poor. Even though the HC would ultimately make those decisions, it's concerning that he doesn't have more awareness of his players and the situation. It's also concerning that we don't have a single freshman pitcher contributing this year.

I'm sure we could do better, but I know nothing about up-and-coming college pitching coaches. It's probably just best to completely start over.

 

[dickiedawg]

I'd have no issue keeping Henderson on as pitching coach, personally.

Now, if the new guy wants to go a different route I obviously understand that, too.

Based on what I heard from people who knew him at UK, I wouldn't have hired him in the first place. But Cohen had worked with him, so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

In all fairness, I knew a guy that pitched for him when he was at Florida and he thought he was one of the best coaches he ever had. So there's that.

He's probably good as a pitching coach although I don't know what level of recruiter he is. Whole other ball game though to run the program. He did run the UK program but there is a whole different level of expectation from the UK baseball program to the MSU program.

Ill beat the dead horse here.... but if we throw pilk on sat and small on sun we win a lot more series including this w/e. Any decent coach would have long made this move

It seems me that it would be pretty easy for the opposing coach to counter that move.
