There's lots of rumors coming out of Starkville that John Cohen will become the new AD at Mississippi State and Gary Henderson will be named interim coach for the 2017 season.

Whoa... that would be absolutely insane, and if I were MSU fans I would be absolutely pissed. Not sure why you'd want a baseball guy to become your athletic director. Personally, I am bigger fan of finding someone who has been an AD, or assistant AD for years and has his finger on the pulse in most sports rather than just knowing one. Should be interesting to see how that plays out though.

These days you don't want a coach for an administrator any more than you want an administrator for a coach. Not to mention someone who couldn't get the job done at Kentucky at one of the highest profile BB HC jobs in the country.

Henderson will not last very long at Miss. State. The Bulldog fans are big on their baseball and they will not take mediocrity for very long. Henderson did a good job recruiting here, but he was rarely ever able to translate that to on the field success. So, I don't have a real reason to believe that he'll be much, if any more, successful at Miss State. Plus, their alumni and ex-players will be much more keyed into what is going on with the baseball program and if the rumors were true that Henderson was not well liked by his players (and their families) as a head coach then the alumni of MSU will not stand for him being their head man for very long.
