I seem to be in the minority that think quite a bit of this does fall on Cohen’s shoulders. While no one ever makes great hires 100% of the time, this hire was his first, in his sport, and to be his successor. He owns some of the blame.

His legacy will be about hires/fires in the 3 big sports and he isn’t off to a good start....
Bc SS hired a bad COACH. He took a gamble on an unknown and Ray sucked as a coach.

Cohen hired a great coach when nobody knew the guy would be a great coach. He took a gamble on an unknown and his instincts were right. Not his fault Cann couldn?t keep in his pants.

You can argue Cohen?s instincts were off regarding Cann as a person, but you can?t argue his instincts in hiring a ball coach. Far superior to those of SS.
