If Joe has been fired yet.
No? Ok, then I'm not wasting any more words. Until he's gone there is no use in discussing MSU football. He needs to go this week, and if he doesn't, Cohen needs to go next week.

I agree Moorhead needs to go. I think the MSU fanbase is 1000% behind this. We should then go and hire the guy we should have hired in the first place. The guy who has been a winner everywhere he’s been and done miraculous work at UAB. Bill Clark. He fits our mentality and culture to a T and is a builder. He’s our guy!
If Moorhead is still the coach come Monday, Cohen will have completely lost the majority of leftover, if any, confidence he had at this point I'd believe. Could be wrong, but I feel like the fan base is pretty damn one-sided at this point minus a few stragglers. And if I had any clout within the program, I'm Cohen's office Monday morning asking for an explanation because any money that is donated to cover Moorhead's full salary is being stolen at this point.Quote:

Admittingly I don't know much about UAB. Looks like Clark has been successful everywhere he's been. What type of offense does he run? Type of mentality, hardnose? What D?
Not necessarily a negative but pretty sure Clark has only lived in Alabama his entire life. Pretty unique considering he's in a profession that frequently requires working at different schools. He'll need to leave the state of Alabama if he coaches here.
I don’t think it would really make much of a difference. You could put a folding chair on the sideline and get about as much coaching.Quote:

I'm typically the same way, but at this point it doesn't really matter. Greg Knox did a better job in one game than Joe has in 2 seasons, so just stick somebody in there. Can't do worseQuote:

After watching some Clark videos I'd now be onboard with it.
Just don't see what the gain is.... not saying you're wrong. But don't see what you get from it.Quote:

I doubt it's common for a coach to call a recruit like that but he sure didn't have too.Quote:

With no coach. Doesn't matter.Quote:

I hear you. Not a fan of it but OM is so bad he could find a way to win the Egg Bowl and Arkansas. And then it gets tougher to fire him.Quote:

Then his program got the death penalty from the University of Alabama board of regents and what does he do when the program comes back after two years on hiatus? He goes 8-5 and 11-3. How the hell is he still at UAB? Cohen was an idiot for not hiring him in the first place.Quote:

Heck let Hughes finish out as interm HC. Maybe he has a Mullen playbook around. Heck maybe he'll use KT. Still don't trust JoMo's thinking on QB last or this year. And at least Hill won't be required to pass block as much.Quote:
