No one hired the ULL coach?

[Jack Lambert]

Just curious.

[Johnson85]

He’s still only been a head coach two years. If he has a good year next year, he’ll be a hot commodity. If he has another two good years, he will be able to be picky for P5 HC Jobs. .

[Cooterpoot]

It’s cause he’s got that agreement with us.*

Yep that trouncing in his conf game didn't help any either.

They got beat by 7 and the only TD App State had in the 2nd half was a 16yd pick-6 which turned out to be the difference.

That's the game I saw... ULL made halftime adjustments. ULL could have packed it in, but they didn't. That's what a good coach does, motivate and adjust. How I wish we... Never mind

He inherited a 5-7 team that hadn't made a bowl in 3 years and was on probation. In year 2, he's 10-3 with his only loses coming to a SEC team and App State.

That's way more impressive to me than the App States guys resume: he took over a 11-2 team that was coming off 3 straight 10+ win seasons, and has gone 12-1 in 1 year. He didnt build anything, he didnt fix anything. He inherited a really really good program and team and has them 1 game better than their usual. We know nothing of his ability to build culture, spot talent, recruit, handle adversity, or anything else long term.

This 100%. There is no comparison between the two if you ask me.

According to sources, he had to keep a few other schools warm while we were negotiating the buyout with Moorhead on the afternoon of the egg bowl. He and his S&C coach, OL coach and Special Teams coordinator were all packed and ready to come to Starkville that Friday afternoon for a presser prior to Cohen getting cold feet.

Just ask anyone here.

No debating that just saying that may be reason some cooled, not saying I agree or think that is right.

[OLJWales]

He's waiting on us getting our asses kicked in Nashville which will flip a few cigar boys and then it will be a done deal. ****

Haha, beat it was hell on Cohen getting out of that signed contract!

Please stop w this. If we lose the bowl he's not getting fired. The decision to keep him, and I disagree w it, has been made for the year. I'll hope he improves....

[timotheus]

I agree homedawg. Heck, daffy duck could win 6 games at MSU next season and Joe will also which means he's here for 2021

[HoopsDawg]

Norvell didn't get hired 2 years ago either. Now he's the head coach at FSU.

You keep saying this and I’m sure you know. But if we get embarrassed, their will be a rising tide of alums again. As you know.

Winning six isn't the issue. It's going to be can he win 8.

[RiverCityDawg]

Winning six isn't the issue. It's going to be can he win 8.

I don't think he'll have to win 8 to save his job another year though. 6 including the Egg will probably do it, 7 will for sure.

To your point, if he can't win 8 next year with this schedule I don't know that he'll ever win 8 again before he's eventually let go. Maybe we'll judge him on that basis sort of like Missouri did with Odom.

[timotheus]

I'll stick with my proposal for the first 4 games next season. If we aren't 4-0 after those games, just cut hi loose before the A&M game. Doing this will solve embarrassing issue later in the season and we mite find somebody on the staff who actually can call plays.

If he goes to NC State in game two and lays a turd like at Tennessee he needs to be fired immediately.

Yes. Yes. Yes. And he needs to know that today.

[trojandawg]

Well with the Hill news. We will have a Walkers, Marks, and Witherspoon at running back next year. True Sophomore QB, and some changes on the line where we will lose experience there. our receiving corps doesn't look like it's going to be much better next year. So for it to be the make or break year to get to 6-6 or better more like 8. i just don't see that happening. Our running game was the offense this year. Mostly hill. With him gone it's all on Shraders shoulders. Unless our receivers get a lot better, We will be seeing Shrader tote the rock a lot next year.
