Well shit
Obviously not a done deal.
And next up for public sloppy seconds is.....
This has the makings of a cluster.
Yeah that sucks
Well crap... Illinois or DBU coach next?
Who was 2nd on the list? Surely someone has the list that D1 posted by now.
Not good. Now the next guy knows he was not our first choice. Bad look
and i guess this shows there was not pre-arranged agreement for him to turn down a HC position earlier in the year...
As I recall....Quote:

The position has to be right for all parties. No need to panic because a guy from Cali wasn't the one.
I don't think there was any order of preference.Quote:

What? Cohen is the head coach....Avery was not even hired? What is your point here?
Avery was not Bama's first choice..
Could be any number of things. I would love to know his current salary vs. what we offered him, assuming it got to that point. I wonder how much time he and cohen spent talking on the phone. My first thoughts would be that he and Cohen's personalities or philosophies don't mesh or small town Starkville isn't where he wants to live.
There had to be serious initial interest considering what cohen was saying and others were reporting.
Wouldn't have been about $$$.
CSF Head coach was at 140k a year ago. Cohen is 650k+++.
I was told Butch was among top 5 highest paid assistants in the country.
Dietrich would have easily more than doubled maybe tripled his salary.
SEC, 2x-3x salary, 40MM stadium, Cohen's tweet all but announcing hire - something just doesn't add up.
About all it could be is Cohen, Starkville, Mama or a combination.
Wes Johnson.

Dietrich also might not want to hitch his coaching wagon to Cohen's coaching wagon. I don't expect it, but another year like last year and Cohen could be job hunting.
I wasn't looking forward to all our fans mispronouncing his name, anyway.
I'm sure Cohen had a list, and he didn't throw that list out the window when Dietrich got there.
My guess is he wants to be head coach somewhere. He prob interviewed out of courtesy. He almost got a HC job last year. And I would bet he gets one next summer.
I would go with Wes Johnson.

This may end up being a blessing. If it wasn't right for Dietrich- ALL of us would suffer.
Plus, we might end up with the guy I wanted all along- Wes Johnson.
It has got to be easier to convince kids from Texas to come to MSU that it would have been to convince kids from California.
I have to wonder if Gene freaked him out. Gene "just happened" to be at the same restaurant that Cohen and Dietrich were at and I'm pretty sure Gene goof trooped it up. At the very least I'm pretty sure he didn't represent our fan base well.Quote:

SEC is > whatever mid major conference that Cal State- Fullerton is in plus when he does get that head coaching job he would have some ties to the south for recruiting, plus a pay raise.Quote:

Nah, MSU pitching coach is only slightly better than Cal State Fullerton pitching coach. No need to switch jobs if you are close to a head gig.Quote:

I'm sure he got a better deal. However, even w that, he turned down way more money and WAY less in cost of living. This wasn't about money.....sorry copied wrong post somehow. Either way you would be correct!
He was gonna have to wear all of Butchs leftover muu muus. Deal breaker.
I'll tell you who else wasn't Bama's first choice...Nick Saban. They actually hired Rich Rod for like a day before he renigged on them. Then everybody laughed at how Bama was no longer a big player for coaches anymore and would have to settle for scraps. Yeah....that didn't happen.Quote:

That's not exactly true, that's when saban had told them no and no. They thought he wasn't coming and went to rich rod. Then they went back to saban with the last gasp effort and it worked. Miami had dropped a couple more games and the price went up!Quote:
