There is some smoke coming from the whittingham deal......
As in, people are upset that he was passed over or that something may happen with this going forward?Quote:

If the rumors are true, and I suspect they are, Cohen should be fired solely for this. Passing over a proven HC at a P5 school who has been largely successful for a guy whose only HC experience came at freaking Fordham? Idc how innovative his offense looked, you go with the proven guy 10 times out of 10.Quote:

Cohen didn’t pass on him in a sense. Whittingham, was playing both sides trying to get more money from Utah. Cohen got tired of it and said this is what we offer and make a decision. Whittingham stayed at Utah.
Guys, let it all play out. “Stuff” will happen one way or the other.
I'm cool with letting this play out. But what I am wary of is if Cohen goes it alone on the next hire. Day by day as this lingers and wanes, so does faith in Cohen.
We’re paying for hiring an inexperienced AD. But as long as some people are happy that’s all that matters.**Quote:

I like to think that. But more and more I've begun to feel like he's a bit of a fraud. IB my a$$.Quote:

I’m sure he had growing pains at Northwestern State when he started out as a coach there too. I’m sure he has learned lessons from his coaching hires too. We’ll see if he can apply what he has learned now.Quote:

They?re trying to hold the class together.
Him being AD was a planned move by certain people. It should’ve never happened. You never hire a coach on staff to be the AD.Quote:
