Hey LSU fans.

Hearing we are close to naming Cohen AD and hiring Cannizaro as HC (don't like Cohen as AD but oh well).

I know zero about him. Care to enlighten me? Good recruiter? Quiet guy or intense?

Thanks

Bright young star but with no head coaching experience. I'd be very surprised if Miss State hired him, I think you can do better

ETA: Before the downvotes

better= more experience, proven winner as HC

AC is young when it comes to college baseball, as he's only been LSU's hitting coach for 2 yrs. Prior to that he was a minor league scout for the Yankees for several yrs. Well liked as a hitting coach but he was not hired as HC for Tulane this past offseason, his old school where he was one of its most famous players. Would be a loss for LSU as a hitting coach but he has no experience as a HC so hard to tell just how good/bad he may be.

Damn, that'd be a colossal jump for him. He's a great recruiter and good hitting coach. I just assumed he'd go somewhere smaller and get experience first though.

Great recruiter, motivator, has grown into his own as a collegiate hitting coach.

I think that would be a desperate move by Cohen hiring a hitting coach with 0 HC experience, only 2 years as an assistant coach at the college level, and expecting Omaha within 3-4 years.

Great Hire!

I would not worry about no HC experience!

He has been around a while

Can't imagine state is going to make Cohen AD. I wouldn't worry.

I thought Cohen as AD was already announced? Would be tough to lose Cannizaro for us, but you'd be getting a good one.

Word is Cohen thinks that Cannizaro is the next big name in college baseball and hes at the top of his list.

Not with Gary Henderson as pitching coach, he had been HC at Kentucky the past 8 years. Cohen wants to keep the current staff in place at MSU and thats another reason he wants to go with a young guy like Cannizaro.

Now that everyone has given you the scoop on Cannizaro, just wanted to say that Cohen is King Douche.

Will LSU fans have a different look at our baseball rivalry with Cohen gone and Cannizaro HC?

Solid hire but if I'm Cannizaro I don't know if I take a job without going through an entire offseason especially in the SEC.
I don't think he could turn it down but going into the fire before you are ready might burn his star too soon.

Maybe PM's trip to Chicago was to gauge the interest of the Cubs skipper, Maddon.
Seriously!

The guy who built the Red Sox up and broke their curse 14 years ago?

That's called experience at your job

You do realize he inherits the defending SEC champs. We had like 12 guys play in cape cod last summer and a solid incoming fr class
