If we get McDonell then Louisville truly is toxic and its a great hire for us. Thats obviously best case scenario I just cant get my hopes up on that based on previous SEC coaching hires

What hour was it on... I will lost em to podcast. I think Cohen def goes for a big fish but I think it's about 50/50 on landing one. If not I would expect butch or jay johnson. I think rob Childress is s big fish that very few are talking about that I think Cohen would be going after. I still don't think Corbin is out of the running. If someone told me I had to bet 1000 bucks on one name it would be butch.
I'm trying to figure out whether or not this thread makes me happy or sad. and I haven't even read it.
After listening to Cohen today, I believe fully he's got his guy and it's gonna be a big fish. It's gonna be a Childress, Corbin, Schlosnagle, sully type of hire. I'm more convinced of that now. My money is no longer on butch after listening to that interview.
Can I get a link to the podcast?
I agree with coach’s reasoning here. With that said, who knows what is going on with any particular coach’s private life. Schlossnagle might have a mother in law living in West Alabama. McDonnell might hate the new ad.
I Won’t be surprised if we end up with a former sec assistant that has done well at a non power 5 school for three or four years. I’m not talking about butch or Mingione.
I got the impression McDonnell....?????Quote:

But he said definitely the choice has not been made.
I'm feeling better about it now

Cohen is very good at evaluating and hiring baseball coaches. It's pretty incredible that his first staff with us ended up having all three become head coaches at SEC schools or C-USA. And Lane could end up being a SEC coach one day as well. That doesn't include his staff at Kentucky which also had a staff that all became head coaches- Henderson, Bohannon, and Mingione.
The other thing that is comforting to me is Cohen knows what kind of coach it is going to take for us to get to a National Championship based on his hire of Cann. And the hiring of Cann to me makes it unlikely that it will be one of his old assistants because bringing back Butch or hiring Bohannon or even Mingione would have been the easy move at that point in time.
Cannizaro wasn’t really making that kind of money at State, was he? Now, he would have reached that level if he hadn’t been treating every day like Hump day. I seem to recall that he was started out at some point just under 500k
Cann didn't deserve a top payment.. He was about to become a first year hc. He was getting paid 533k average for 4 years. This next hire will be a lot more expensive..Quote:

I wonder how high Cohen is willing to go for a coach.
I assumed C34 was referring to o?conner since his post followed up a post about o?connor?s salary.Quote:

Then we are on the hook for a fancy, expensive stadium that no one goes to.Quote:
