I think it may be more of a what he didn't do.

If they fail to do this, Cohen will have a tough time when the demons come.

Cohen refused to get involved in NIL/fund raising from what I’ve read, and Auburn has loads of NIL which don’t require the AD to get involved in fund raising. That sounds about right. He’s definitely dropped the ball on NIL.

Cohen just rubbed people the wrong way. He had a knack for ignoring the most important donors we have in the BDC. Heck, I know he never even introduced himself to over half of the top 50 donors, and that's unacceptable. He was within a whisker of being fired last year. Keenum kept that from happening, but in hindsight, he obviously changed his mind. Cohen also is very stubborn with NIL changes and was not open to promoting NIL giving.

Adapt or die.
Hopefully the next guy will be willing to maximize state's position in the world...

It's all about salesmanship.

I was at a game during the end of Jackie years when we were looking bad and losing at halftime. As i was standing with a group of generous BDC members, LT had gotten off the elevator and walked by us. I looked at him and said, "Mr. Templeton, we have some problems out there." He stopped, looked at me, smartly turned on his heels, and walked away. Guess he was in a hurry.** So, maybe this is why Cohen was called LT 2.0 by some. Hope AU falls further.

That's going to be everywhere though. The more people give to NIL the less they are going to donate to the school.
