Cohen=figure head/scapegoat
This was not Cohen's decision
The man basically got kicked out of State and went to Auburn to get a pay raise and not have to worry about making tougher decisions than whether to bring Mr. Yellawood Glazed or Chocolate donuts
We need a little Tammy Wynette right now. Somebody queue up <Stand By Your Man>
BREAKING: John Cohen resigns under pressure; Auburn names Prince Andrew as new AD.
Very glad that he is gone.
Can't wait to hear Cohen talk about their extensive search for the right candidate and how Freeze checked all the boxes.
If Hugh goes 9-3 next year, they won’t be too upset.
There was a lot of talk about Freeze early on at AU.
he's gone by year 4 if he doesn't have a 10 win season. I doubt he makes it with the toxic fan base.
the woe is me crap won't last long. I've known him since 1999 and he was a greasy turd back then.
Would Cohen be a scape goat? Didn't this same scenario play out with our baseball hire?
Leading candidates name gets leaked. Leading candidate withdraws.
Cohen had as much input as I did on who the potential candidates in this case were. He was told that before he took the AD job there.
Regardless of who made the candidate list and final decision .....Cohen was AD for both and would know the names. Even if he is sitting in corner silent.
The names were leaked and resulted in moving on to other candidates.
Auburn has had 7 coaches since Saban became the Alabama coach.
Mullen was the longest surviving SEC coach while the MSU coach, then he took that promotion.
The current super survivor is Kentucky Stoops with 9 years.
At least Auburn fans understand now why we did not cry when he left.
Here I was and thought they were bringing in Cohen to avoid hiring freeze and lo and behold they brought him in just to be a shield. Ho hum. Have fun on the plains John
THIS - Kiifin's value had decreased since OM had been in the top 10 in the polls to not being ranked. Kiffin and Sexton wanted a pie in the sky contract. Auburn didn't agree. Some thought they could negotiate and maybe meet in the middle. They couldn't so Auburn went to 1B. Freeze . End of story.
Someone post some Twitter screen shots of IB getting destroyed please.
And Cohen wasn't allowed to take questions about the hire from the media.
Freezus may have been their number one choice the whole time. Listening to B'ham radio, it was reported that 6 months ago Freezus bought a house nearby at Lake Martin. His daughter goes to school at Auburn.
"Auburn thinks, given his past, if this goes bad we can probably fire him for cause"

He was. Kiffin smoke was for Kiffin and Sexton to get paid. That's all. You don't fire your AD months ahead of time to try and hire Kiffin. You fire your AD to get him out of the way to hire Freeze. Then you tell the new AD we already have our coach. Sit down and shut up.
