Do you actually think Cohen had him above Leach in who he wanted to hire? Hell no
so did Cohen reach out to Leach first before Napier ???
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

On another note, He stole our kicker Ruiz, lol. I was actually excited about Ruiz.
Maybe he just determined it wasn't the right fit for him to set himself for the long term. He made a subjective decision for him and we are applying objective logic without considering personal motives. Clearly more money is better when viewed by a 3rd party with no horse in the race, and maybe it will be his only/best P5 opportunity, but he weighed factors and might've determined for the next 20-30 years, he'd rather wait for something else for a myriad of reasons we'll never know.

not a single poster on here knows the answer to that. It should be more than clear by now that the 'sources" people have here are either completely fake or full of BS

I don't care! Regardless how it happened the football gods were looking after us. He is by far the best case we could have ended up with. We came out way better than Ole Miss and Arkansas. Look at it this way. Everyone got what they wanted. We beat ole miss, we went to a bowl game and we got a really good HC. I am happy and don't care how we got to this point.

Perspective. Worked out perfectly for us. Other than losing the Music City Bowl. Small price to pay though.

But losing the bowl made getting Leach possible.

Agree. I do wonder if the Gay/Shrader incident was enough to warrant firing even with a bowl win though. We'll never know but Stansbury was fired after a winning season if I remember correctly.

He was but we had a minimum sweet 16 caliber team and we lost in the first round of the NIT.

Sounds similar to our 8 win caliber football team that won 6. We'll never really know but I believed the Gay/Shrader incident was the last straw.

And the 10 win caliber team the year before that only won 8.

We talked to Napier's agent before the Egg Bowl. Leach's people werent contacted until after Willie Gay beat Shrader's ass. After the fight, we resumed talking to agents. The loss in the bowl game was the final straw. Cohen was serious when he said the bowl game was a business trip. He wanted a good showing

Then I'm glad we lost, yea I said it....would rather have won it and still gotten Leach though.

Good thing CML had his people reach out to Cohen.

Napier (or his agent) was campaigning to get his name out there as available, much like Dan used to do. As a result, his name came up in EVERY search this past season. That can be smart, but don't think he would have stopped had he ended up at State. Not only do I like Leach as a coach better than Napier, I like the fact that he is not going to campaign to have his name is not going to come up in every high profile search in the future.

It wasn?t the fight that did him in, it was another incident that didn?t get out that actually did it.

Just learn to ignore him. He's here to troll and dole out backhanded compliments... all the while many on here think he's a good guy. People liked Token Bammer too, until he showed his true colors.
