Gary Henderson, associate head coach and pitching coach under Cohen, will be the successor. Mitch Barnhart, UK’s athletics director, made the announcement during a Friday afternoon press conference. Cohen is leaving to take another job – presumably with his alma mater, Mississippi State.

Barnhart told the Herald-Leader only two days earlier that he anticipated that Cohen would be his coach next season. A soon-to-be-built stadium and a raise in salary were among the incentives that Barnhart thought would keep Cohen with the Wildcats.

In six years at UK, Cohen compiled a record of 175-112-1, leading the Wildcats to their first Southeastern Conference championship and twice taking the Cats to NCAA regionals, finishing each time with a school-record 44 victories.

Cohen came to UK after two years as an assistant at Florida. Before that, he was head coach at Northwestern State for four years, going 146-84.

His overall record as a head coach is 321-196-1 over 10 years.
