6-1 right now, could have easily beaten UCF a year ago, 32-15 at Memphis, UCA grad, recruits our area already. Makes too much sense. Get it done Cohen.

Cohen isn't going to hire a guy with many rumored skeletons in his closet after his Cannizzaro hire. I agree that Norvell would be a good hire, but it ain't happening with Cohen. Many other AD's won't either, which is probably why he's still at Memphis
If he doesnt, its on us. The hell with that. Its not like he is Art Briles. He got another job, no reason to play the moral superiority card here. Especially when its all basically speculationQuote:

Can't say I disagree with you. But you and I both know Cohen is scared to screw up with another Cannizzaro situation in fear for his own future. Sucks, but I'm afraid it's true. Maybe he'll surprise us though.Quote:

Cohen, I hope is currently worried bout his own future with this sloppy joe guy.
AgreeQuote:

Finebaum kind of had him in a corner, Cohen isnt dumb, he knows Moorhead aint itQuote:

I’m in Memphis every day. Around tigers fans everyday. I talk football often with them. I’ve never heard of these “rumors”. I’m not saying they aren’t true. But if we hired him, I doubt anyone would mention his dark secrets in the bio.
Most likely y’all are being played by Highland Hundreds to look elsewhere.
These rumors are bullshit floated out to keep some top programs from outbidding for their coach. You guys, don't be suckers. He's a head coach at Memphis right now and everything is fine. He and that program are doing great. Why will a move to another school all of a sudden make these rumors important. Ya'll are being played. If Cohen doesn't grab him up after this season ending at 4-8/5-7 (which I think it will) then we know we have the wrong football HC and the wrong AD.
