not at all

And now Gene says he guesses Cohen. You know what that means right? We can go ahead and get ready for Raffo. Please Swan, for once in your career, be right about this.

I'll say this. It sure seems like most of the rumors include Raffo. I figured he'd get a token interview and then you'd spend the bulk of your search on the "real" candidates. If the SixPack rumors have any basis, which they usually do at least to an extent, then it sure seems like he's a definite possibility. In a way, I'm hoping you hire someone else just so we can see what crazy **** Polk might pull.

If Byrne goes with Raffo over Cohen, I would lose alot of faith in him if I was a MSU fan.

Personally, my Greg Byrne faith-o-meter will go way the hell down if we hire Little Ron.</p>

.....taking Raffo over Cohen. It would be made clear that Cohen was offered, but that he was happy at UK and prefers to stay there...............in a tiny ball park.......with no fans........at a school where only basketball matters........yep.

 

[rebel law]

I realize you are being sarcastic but even if Cohen was to say no, MSU baseball could do a hell of alot better than Raffo.</p>

 

[ArrowDawg]

I certainly agree with you about that. Even Kinnison at Delta State would be a better choice to me than Raffo.

 

[maroonmania]

then its strictly based on nepotism and taking the easy way out, at least as it goes with dealing with Polk and his faction. There are many coaches out there who would love to have the MSU job that would have more tangible qualifications. The only thing we really know about Raffo is that he has been our hitting coach and chief recruiter. How's our hitting and recruiting been lately? Nuf said. If Raffo is hired it definitely will not be because he is the most qualified available candidate. And yes, its within the realm of possibility that he could do a great job at MSU, but all signs point against it and I certainly won't hold my breath. But hey, at least our players won't get yelled at right?

...he's about the biggest polar opposite from Polk I've ever met. Quite possibly the most intense human I've ever met.

 

[basedog]

GB is doing the right thing (if this rumor is correct) by leaking Raffo is in the running. Regardless of what most think which isn't much as for as Raffo being the HC at Msu, he is still one of "us". It would look real bad to the outside if we ignored Raffo's service by not showing some love.
I'm pretty sure on a hunch Cohen will be named HC shortly.
