Listen to this. Be patient. He already stated that he would not entertain any openings until after their bowl game.Quote:

Now let?s root on our basketball team tomorrow. Apparently Vegas thinks the game will be close. Hope we finally play a complete game.
Apparently this Egg Bowl / Orange Bowl / Gator Bowl ('17 specifically) means a lot less to Mullen than it does most everyone else.Quote:

Isn't it though? We have a coaching candidate who is serious about winning and we're trying to low ball. Geez CohenQuote:

With Napier we have the leverage - we're the big job calling with no other suitors.

He'd be taking a big gamble that other big jobs will be interested next year.
The thing to keep in mind is that our FLOOR is Hud or Grantham and those are not terrible options. So Cohen isn't screwing up by not having a guy lined up when we fired Moorhead. That would have been true right after the Egg with the signing class in the balance, but now we can take our time. The only mistake that could be made was NOT firing Joe.
If we went after him around Egg Bowl time and backed out, I would be squeezing us too. Noncommittal is not a good look from us. So if he was ready then and we didn't pull the trigger and backed out, I would want additional financial guarantees as well.Quote:

That made me feel the best I have felt about him coming here since the Bert post. I was told Moorhead was gone Thurs night and Napier was the lead dawg but that means something in my eyes.Quote:

He's happy sitting right where he is and has the luxury of waiting.Quote:

Cohen may be thinking the rest of the 800k or so (if 34s figures are right) are gonna be valuable for his DC. Not sure.Quote:

I’m not sure why this is so difficult. Let’s just hire Hud and be done with all this
Lol hire who we think is the worse coach just so the fans dont have to wait 3 extra days? Seriously some of yall have no patience or foresight at allQuote:
