Random Poster's AD replacement

[PassInterference]

[preachermatt83]

Cohen as AD would be dumb. I like Weatherbee. I'd offer Byrne 1mil to come back.

[Liverpooldawg]

i probably should, but i just don't give a shit about marketing. i want someone who will run a competent gameday operation.

Marketing is MUCH more important than that. And before you start the game day operation IS part of marketing.

hahaaaaaaaaaa- just kidding

Scott Wetherbee is the guy. Already part of the department but he is somewhat of an outsider. Has done a great job on the marketing side of things. We have promoted from within the last couple of hires- but the guys we have promoted havent been State "good ol boy network" guys. They have worked other places and brought new ideas and energy.

Elitedawgs.com choice as AD

Not Cohen. No. **** No

Something we might just agree on. HORRORS. LOL.

Why are y'all so anti-Cohen AD? Is it because y'all don't want to lose him as baseball coach? Because I think he would be a phenomenal AD.

we shouldn't pay $500k+ for someone who can't do both. someone make this guy a Venn diagram: marketing is part of game day operations, but it takes much more.

Based on what?

How do you figure? He's as qualified as I am if that. If he has a masters in sports administration. Shit at least I have experience running a large business.

Isn't he currently our assistant AD? Do you have that on your CV/Resume?

I Seen It runs a 4 million dollar territory and all that goes with that. Cohen's budget isnt that big. He also has a sports admin degree

Ok...?

For less than 2 months he has had that title. He may eventually become AD and do well. But even he and Scott said it was more of something to start getting his feet wet as it MAY be something he wishes to pursue years from now after he is done coaching.

Absolutely the dumbest possible move that could be made. Tnere are 20 more qualified candidates. He's way to polarizing of a figure.

[lamont]

Ok...?

So why is Cohen more qualified?

[BeardoMSU]

So why is Cohen more qualified?

He is currently the assistant AD at Mississippi State University. I don't know....maybe that means something? Are you saying it means nothing?

And by your logic, does that mean than any successful business guy out there is a viable option for AD of a power 5 school?
is

I'm not saying that Cohen is, or should be, the guy, btw. Just to be clear. I just find it a little funny how everyone now is an "authority", despite having little to no experience in that area (and that's just a general statement, not a shot at I seen it).

[ScottH]

If it's inside the department it's Cohen or no one. Stricklin and Cohen have been pushing it for the better part of a week.

He is the only one being seriously considered from current staff. I just don't see it. (With grammar apologies to "I seen It").

You take one of the best baseball coaches in the country and move hime from that position to a position of zero experience. Sound management.

Granted he may do great. However being a P5 SEC west team we should have an almost pick of who we want. No gamble necessary.

Cohen does very little AD work- its a title given to bump his salary as baseball coach. ISeenIt has an athletic admin degree and has experience handling big budgets

I'm not saying he wouldnt be a good AD- but there's nothing saying he would either. There's no way he could continue on as baseball coach and be AD.

[BeardoMSU]

So if the Cohen rumor were to happen, what would we do about a baseball coach? Lol....shit.....

[I seen it dawg]

What does he do in that assoc ad title? Is he taking time out of his day that deals with running a baseball program to do ad things? Or is it a title mainly given to bump his pay?

[I seen it dawg]

So maybe I am more qualified...lol
