He has done a great job of adjusting to his team rather than expecting the team to adjust to him (paraphrased). Well stated.

I have not participated in the Moorhead bashing and won't, but that sounds a bit like what he wasn't able to accomplish.

Was just about to post that Moorhead absolutely does not approve of that quote

Reminds me of when Mullen won over the fan base by saying basically the same thing after years of us having that complaint about Croom.

The videos I have seen of him talking to the team... the man knows the right mental approach to baseball. Impressed.

The jury’s still out on Cohen about certain things that are under his umbrella as AD, but I’m not sure how anyone can question his understanding of what’s needed to win big in college baseball

Comparing adjusting in football and baseball is apples and oranges though. You pitch and you hit and you field in baseball, it pretty much is what it is. Yes, you can use different approaches at the plate and in game strategy but there is much less flexibility. In football, heck, you can run anything from a wishbone to a wide open passing spread. And there are various schemes to run on defense as well. If you hire an offensive coach for a HC in football then you have pretty much hired his offensive philosophy at the same time. If you don't like what his philosophy is you had best not hire him. To blame him for running what he believes in after the fact just because it wasn't the best personnel fit is not wise. Cohen had every opportunity to have hired a guy sold out to the run game if he just wanted to win big in 2018.

That's great. It's what good coaches do.

Where was Joe Moorhead when he stated this??

Teaching our run first QB's how to stand in the pocket for an extended time, while simultaneously reading the safety, DE, defensive coordinator and opposing water boy.

This ****'s gonna work boys!**

Wish Moorhead would take the hint to heart even it is a year late.

I need to hear this quote

Go to the Out of Bounds podcast for March 4th at the 2:39 mark and you will hear it. Unless you just have to hear it with your own ears, here is the quote word for word...."Chris Lemonis has done a great job with this club adapting to the group instead of vice versa".

The vibe I kind of get from Cohen is that Baseball is the priority and as long as the other sports are above average, then he will be satisfied.

It sure sounded like its what Moorhead WANTED to accomplish....but that we didn't see. I don't know how many articles I read -- including quotes from Moorhead -- that said his offense was adaptable to whatever personnel he had.

Maybe they weren't counting the QB position as being adaptable.

Not sure how you can adapt an offense that puts emphasis on the deep passing game to a QB who is not accurate throwing the deep ball to a below average group of WRs that don't catch very well.
