    I'm pretty sure they are just still working out contract details.

    He is gone.

    Whether he signs with Auburn or not, he is done at State. Even if the deal fell through, there would be no coming back from being so obviously willing/ready to go.

    Cohen, comes home with tail between his legs to MSU (wife) after a wild night out that all the neighbors (SEC) know about. MSU, wife, says get your tale back in here. Guess you'll stay at home where you belong from now on!***** I better be wrong! Don't let door hit you on the way out, (JMO)!

    It has been posted tonight on Auburn and MSU boards that there is a delay, because some boosters have been pushing for their guy as the AD, and instead the president is trying to hire Cohen.
    Assuming this is the typical Auburn drama, but even if Cohen is hired he better be ready that some big boosters wanted someone else.

    I doubt Jimmy Rane would even allow the president to even interview Cohen without approving it.

    John Cohen is on the plains

    Isn't there a board or group of boosters, even though Jimmy is the main man?

    So I hope Keemun is aggressively moving forward with interviews. Any idea on which BDC members might be pulling the strings on this?

    It also doesn?t matter who the AD is going to be, they just want a guy that will do what they say to do.

    Auburn is the type that would hire Hugh Freeze and I still think that?s who it is.

    I think there is pushback today, because the President did not do it the Auburn way of running it by key boosters first. Not all of them see Cohen as a homerun hire, and with no homerun hire they would prefer the interim guy. Probably for the reasons you mention, so they can have a guy answer to them.
    Cohen, Mr. Smartest Man in the Room, should have known this situation is there as we all do. So he really wanted the hell out of here.

    Yeah, we need to find out for sure what happened here. He just got an extension and raise, correct?

    This whole situation is just off because so many people are saying so many different things it?s hard to know what to believe.

    I just hope if it falls through, we dont become the wife that lets her cheating husband back in the house.

    If that happened then he should have known when he talked and interviewed at Auburn his job here was gone?

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Catfish again.

    If he is staying, it better be off campus.
