Patience is for when there is progress. There is no progress here. Mingione is a total fraud.

This was a stacked roster from a position player standpoint. He trampled all over some good veteran players while meanwhile giving all of us his dumb , goofy Schtick about Christianity and talking like he is some kind of Tony Robbins. We don’t need his Motivation on Monday mornings. Who is that goofy ego driven stuff even for ? His players don’t buy into it and just because us following the team buy into the crap he is selling dosmt mean it should continue on. But it will.
Here’s an exercise. The next time you listen to Mingione speak pretend that you believe that all his hokey , fairy tail nonesense is a total act and that everyone that
Not even Coach Cal carries on the way Nick does. Have you seen evidence at all in any season after 2017 that any of his players buy into any of this ?
There was waY more evidence that Kessler was what we know he is now . than there is evidence that this program is going in the right direction. Yet Mingione had no problem completely Chopping Kesslers legs out a super critical juncture in his own career path. Same goes for B3N and others too. Why is the head coach not held to the same standard that he held Kessler , B3N and many others Too ? Such as the senior Captain he cut before the start of the seaosn last year. I think we should do what Mingione would do. Let’s make Mingione sit out next year and let the assistant coach take the team while he sits there and watches.
And I will point out something else. Did you notice the goofy Monday Motivations ended abruptly ? It ended abruptly after that terrible incident. And Nick has gotten philosophical and went over the top with forcing his interpretation of the “ Lords word “ into way way less significant moments than that one was. Yet if you see his delayed reply it was wothout all the usual Nick fluff. Total written or edited by an attorney or someone in the school. I wonder why ?
28’s numbers may have been good but he was rarely clutch. Every time he was up in a clutch situation I just knew he wasn’t going to come through. He definitely underperformed like the rest of the bunch.
I never heard that but did hear from multiple people that Barnhart was turned down a few times and then Coen recommended Mingione.
Mingione really hasn’t performed well at all. Recruiting has been very lackluster and this year’s haul is not up to SEC level.
I wish I was still a subscriber to D1 baseball and I would link the story of Mingione being hired. Basically Minge was the 6th or 7th choice. There was three home run swings. Pat Casey, Brian O’Conner and Dan Heefner. Then there was Greg Goff, Travis Jewitt and another that I forgot. Then Minge was in the third group. Basically we traded Mississippi State Mingione for Gary Henderson.
Going to need that D1 subscription to keep up with all the transfer portal applications UK will be processing. Lol
So, here’s something interesting. At least I thought so. Gary Henderson was named the pitching coach at Mississippi State in 2016 before Mingione was named the head coach at Kentucky. Henderson stepped down on June 1st, was named the pitching coach on June 10th and Mingione was named the coach at Kentucky on June 13th.
Allegedly Henderson kind of saw the writing on the wall and knew he didn't really want to keep the UK job, so he stepped down. Wouldn't surprise me to find out that he'd secured a job elsewhere before he did that.
I remember reading at the time he said he was just burnt out at being a head coach. Plus, him and Cohen were, and still are from what I’ve heard, pretty good friends.
Had a connection to a player way back then that said Henderson couldn't handle the HC pressure. Would regularly freeze up and catchers would often call whole games because he couldn't do it. Don't know if that's entirely true, but that's the info I was passed a long time ago.
Going to take some serious hits with departures and recruiting class isn't even in top 40.
With the fairly new stadium, this is time to manufacture momentum by hiring a new coach. UK fans will support and attend baseball games- but Mitch has to show he is ready to reward the fans with winning baseball. He did the exact opposite with the Ming extension. They won’t draw flies next year if Ming is retained.
He did but I think Cohen had his hand more on that team then people realize. He was only named the coach because Andy Cannizaro was caught playing two hand touch with a football staff member. And that was a weird year for MSU anyway. Went 15-15 in SEC. Lost the opening round of the SEC tournament. Got beat in the first game of the regional 20-10.
I had heard something similar. Also heard that Bohannon and Brian Green did most of the coaching.
Still like the PC @U6. See no need to continue when you're losing/wasting a year.
