Well spill it.
Lemonis***
Haven’t heard anything but for everything real please let this happen
He's retiring??? Or he's going to Auburn??? Or Florida is firing Strick and Cohen is going there???
Best case scenario for us and Cohen.... does he take Leach with him?Quote:

We can honestly get a much worse AD then Cohen. I know a bunch of yall hate him, but it's not like we have been the worst in the SEC with him here
Don’t know what ya got, till it’s gone.
No one hates him; in fact most, including myself, have been fans of John as a player, coach and AD. But I for one believe the odds are much greater a change will improve our football standing.Quote:

I just don’t see an SEC School hiring another SEC AD that’s about to be fired.
That may totally be what’s happening, but I just don’t understand that.

Steve says hokanson report that Cohen was told to look elsewhere is false
If it's just him looking, surely we won't give him bigger $ to stay. If he goes do we have another in-house, no AD experience, on the job training type to replace him? Maybe an ex-basketball or track coach or something?**
John Cohen has done an awful job as our Athletic Director in regards to our football program, which is the only sport that really matters and what pays the bills.Quote:

Auburn people never lie lol. I'm with you it's not trueQuote:

But I don’t see him leaving unless it’s encouraged. I figured he was as maroon as it gets.

I know plenty of community colleges in Mississippi that have hired Failed baseball coaches as their AD?s with 0 experience
No way, you can't have two smartest people in the room!***Quote:

No way he was about to be fired, but there are improvements that could be made in several areas across the entire athletic department. Cohen was "steady Eddie." He had a big part of the baseball natty, so he's got something to hang his hat on. As someone else said in another thread, having two MSU friendly AD's at other schools isn't the worst thing in the world.
So... who's next?
This is hilarious to me. Wow.
Missed ya. Good to see you postQuote:

I think Rosbud is wearing his fake dread locks a little too tight and he’s lacking brain circulation

For all those that think Cohen stinks when it comes to football, go back and look at all the head coaches some of you wanted to hire over the last 5 years and where they all are now.
Also, check to see if you've increased or decreased your giving to our university or have contributed in any way to NIL.
Cohen has done a pretty good job. Lemonis won a championship. Soccer, softball, and volleyball have all been ranked in the Top 25 in the last year and are plying as good as they ever have. He fired Howland and I think made a solid hire in Jans. And Leach has been about as good as our history indicates a football coach will be.
Plus we have the premiere college baseball stadium in the country and are handling renovations at the Hump.
Not sure what else you all want from Cohen honestly.
True.Quote:
