The word "microcosm" comes to mind.

Also "microscopic." As in "Going into John Cohen's 8th year as MSU skipper, his SEC win total is microscopic compared to his losses."

Hard to believe his first team finished better than his seventh. That is difficult for me to wrap my head around.

It's pretty sobering that even if you only count the "glory years" i.e. 2012-2014 he's 10 games over .500 in the SEC. Going into this weekend 4/14 SEC teams had a chance to finish 10 games or better over .500 this season.

The most significant reality about this abortion of a season that should stand out to Mark the most is the fact that Cohanim lost the team completely. This program has a fatal illness. Time for a complete work up. Time for drastic, earth-shaking action.

I don't know if it's realistic but I for one think Mark/Scott can make a great pitch to Dan McDonnell: New stadium, chance to put your old boss in his place, unrivaled fan involvement, and the first two seasons don't count.**

No doubt about it. I think it is borderline insane for anyone to think that the guy that got us into this hole can be the one to get us out of it. Time to clean it out and sweep out the corners.

Lost the team , This is just silly,

Any team that is losing a lot tends to lose focus, and interest.

That's just how it is.

Yeah, that is not true. We are all pissed off at how the season shook out, but no need to just make **** up.

Just look at the last 2 weeks....

Swept by 2 teams who are not very good. Ole Miss is below average and UT has Us to thank for getting in the tourney.

Against Ole Miss , We lose a 5 run lead in the 9th inning with 2 outs. We had 1st and 2nd with no outs and get a runner shot at the plate on a ball hit off of the wall. Game 3 , Ole Miss has the winning run at third in the bottom of the 10th with 1st and 2nd base open and we pitch to a hitter who already has a 2-0 advantage in the count and he only strikes out about once in every 12 at bats.

Today , UT has a hitter get a single and makes it to second base because We forgot to cover second base. WE FORGOT TO COVER SECOND BASE. Our coach puts a pitcher in the 9th inning who is already spent for the weekend. And then Our first baseman fails to tag a guy out standing between him and first base with the ball.

This is simply a poorly coached team. We can do better.

Crickets chirping here, while Ace Leroy has started 2 other threads wanting Cohen fired.

Tool.

Actually I have only started 1 since you posted that. I did not realize you had me on a limit.

Without even doing a coaching search on my own , I believe there are a lot of good coaches out there who would love to coach in the SEC and could also avoid finishing in 14th place out of 14 teams. Do you or any other posters believe there is no coach We could hire that could have gotten Us into that coveted 13th place with this team?

This is exactly how stupid and pathetic you really are in regards to MSU baseball. You are seriously judging by ONE damned season.

The goal is to win a national championship, nothing else.

Are you sure I am judging based on one season? You failed on counting how many threads I had started. Are you better at counting seasons?

I keep having to remind myself: There are some truly psychotic people in this world, that should be in an insane asylum. Back in the 1900's-1950's, they would be locked away probably in a public institution.
