Hire Will Coggin...
- Thread starter Faustdog
- Start date
He didn’t actually DO anything. He’s just a hard headed guy, with a cocky personality, and simply butted heads with the higher ups. He comes across as an a-hole. Even acted that way as a kid.
He wasn’t a scout. He was an agent and he was let go by Cann bc Gautreau was his buddy and he wanted to hire him.
I gotcha. I didn’t realize that. I thought he was just doing the agent thing
That is probably the biggest endorsement any potential candidate could receive. Hire him.
i would be a more than ok with mingione. he’s made kentucky competive in baseball. that’s a hard task. he understands mississippi state as well. i think he’d crush it here
guess who was responsible for recruiting those KY players that made it to the CWS? Coggin
Ahh yes, the tried and true Peaches Approach, primarily used by message board heroes and keyboard warriors 'round the world.
Auburn hired freezer we can do what we want
Thank you. I did not know any of that. So a cocky arrogant guy that was hard to get along with. I can buy that as a reason not to hire the guy.
I am just curious. But I guess thank you for the hero status confirmation. That rarely happens.
Fun fact: Will Coggins’ mom was my 7th grade English teacher. I don’t know how she’s looking these days, but in 1992, she was hot as the 17ing sun.
Man.....I think I'm with you. Obviously I like Burroughs, but I've also been thinking about Butch and O'Connor and yada yada.....but I think Coggin may truly be the answer. He's got a lot of Cannizaro in him so we just need to be careful that he's mature enough to not bring out the bad crap. Good news is, Coggin is 40, so a little older, and he's been at multiple schools and done well at each one.
When you start thinking about how he played under Polk and saw the bad way of doing things, then coached under Cohen and saw exactly how he/Burroughs/Butch rebuilt things, then he's been at JUCO, and then ID'ed Nate freaking Lowe and brought him to MSU. Recruited Kentucky's and Georgia's current teams.......
We might be onto something here. I wonder if he'd be amenable to keeping Parker around, and thus keeping some of our freshman pitchers (who are good) around.
ETA: I like the idea of bringing Ammo back too.
Sooo lets hire a 40 year old, thats never been a head coach at any level... and who was highly thought of enough that he was basically out of coaching for 3 years, has never been rumored to get any other job... and has tons of bad baggage that'll come along with him
Honestly think he's the answer? if he's even one of the first 10 guys you call... then this program is nowhere near the level we think it is.... to put it in perspective.. Geautreau's resume is probably on par than Coggins at this point if not better, #4 recruiting class to Tulane of all places, Interim HC experience, Natty, Assistant Coach of the year...
if your even thinking of going down the no experience, recruiter type... then call real programs that have had real success at the tip top of the mountain... start with UT, LSU, and work your way down to Kentucky and UGA (laughable)

Dang, if you don't even know, it must be some bad ****.
You misunderstand me. I was talking about those who say vague things while pretending to know more.
What’s the baggage? You keep implying sнit, but you ain’t sayin’ sнit.
I did have a misunderstanding there. Man do I feel dumb. I guess that is what reminds us we are alive, or you humans are alive anyway. Screwing up I mean.
