What makes it even more messed up, is that Cohen played for Polk.

Cohens act is usually difficult to watch. He was pretty tame this series. If it were always like that there'd be no issue.

A. Cohen is the Wikipedia poster boy for dickead/douche to his players, other coaches, umps, etc.
B. Starkville in and of itself doesn't help matters
C. Cowbells
D. Repeat A, B, C
E. The incident with Katz in 2013 solidified Cohen as A

You ever been to Starkville?

Yeah, Polk was pushing hard for Tommy Raffo to get the job. When Cohen got it instead, Polk disassociated himself with their program completely. He knew that Cohen was a douche and didn't feel he was the man to properly represent the program he had built.


Polk's problem was he felt like he should have been able to name his successor....as he said at "I'm the AD of Baseball" which wasn't true as Greg Byrne was the AD (now at Arizona) and I believe had worked in the AD at UK prior to coming to State to be AD...it wasn't that he didn't like Cohen (quite opposite actually) it was at he said at the time "Cohen has a job, and I want my boy Raffo because if he isn't the guy p, he won't have a job".....Bryne hired who he thought was the best guy....Polk gets pissed and pops off about removing name etc....after dust settles and Byrne leaves to Arizona, fences are mended...he still lives in Starkville and is a volunteer coach at UAB
