So is Cohen going or not?

[Tough Dawg]

I for one hope he goes. Anybody heard anything?

[MaroonFlounder]

I'm pretty sure they are just still working out contract details.

He is gone.

[MagicDawg]

Whether he signs with Auburn or not, he is done at State. Even if the deal fell through, there would be no coming back from being so obviously willing/ready to go.

[Goldendawg]

Cohen, comes home with tail between his legs to MSU (wife) after a wild night out that all the neighbors (SEC) know about. MSU, wife, says get your tale back in here. Guess you'll stay at home where you belong from now on!***** I better be wrong! Don't let door hit you on the way out, (JMO)!

[Santiago]

It has been posted tonight on Auburn and MSU boards that there is a delay, because some boosters have been pushing for their guy as the AD, and instead the president is trying to hire Cohen.
Assuming this is the typical Auburn drama, but even if Cohen is hired he better be ready that some big boosters wanted someone else.

I doubt Jimmy Rane would even allow the president to even interview Cohen without approving it.

John Cohen is on the plains

Isn't there a board or group of boosters, even though Jimmy is the main man?

[Tough Dawg]

So I hope Keemun is aggressively moving forward with interviews. Any idea on which BDC members might be pulling the strings on this?

[Tough Dawg]

Circle of trust here***

[PikeDawg15]

It also doesn?t matter who the AD is going to be, they just want a guy that will do what they say to do.

Auburn is the type that would hire Hugh Freeze and I still think that?s who it is.

I think there is pushback today, because the President did not do it the Auburn way of running it by key boosters first. Not all of them see Cohen as a homerun hire, and with no homerun hire they would prefer the interim guy. Probably for the reasons you mention, so they can have a guy answer to them.
Cohen, Mr. Smartest Man in the Room, should have known this situation is there as we all do. So he really wanted the hell out of here.

Yeah, we need to find out for sure what happened here. He just got an extension and raise, correct?

This whole situation is just off because so many people are saying so many different things it?s hard to know what to believe.

I just hope if it falls through, we dont become the wife that lets her cheating husband back in the house.

[PikeDawg15]

Correct , earlier this year he got a extension and raise. So many different things have been said , this whole situation is just really weird

[PikeDawg15]

I know that he pissed off some high status people but how does that get you the auburn AD job. It?s just awkward

[Catfish]

If that happened then he should have known when he talked and interviewed at Auburn his job here was gone?

What makes this situation really weird is, Cohen at Auburn. What are they thinking?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Catfish again.

[calidawg]

The deal is dead in the water. Cohen is now staying. This is a disaster

[Santiago]

If he is staying, it better be off campus.

Cotton is definitely making a bold move on the Plains if he defies the boosters. Pretty sure the ousted the last President for thinking for himself and putting the needs of the university first.

I wonder how much Keenum had to do with pushing this forward

Yep. That's always the question: were you seeking a new job, or were you encouraged to do so....

Hope AU likes very long lines at metal detectors at games, stinky soft drink cups, running out of food at upper deck concession stands, not spending enough $ to properly paint end zones, often ugly uniforms for "special occasion" football games, etc, etc. Won't miss him at all!

Hopefully not the ones that put Cohen in charge in the first place.

[Goldendawg]

So, Tusk, are you shaking in your boots that AU may be getting "the smartest guy in the room"?

[HaggardDawg]

There?s no way if this falls through that he remains our AD right? Right?

You won't be there. Ole Miss and/or LSU is going to beat you.

Even if they do make it, TN will beat y’all by 14 this time
