I've been thinking this through and here is my prediction.

When Cohen canned Canny, what did he do? First he tried to get one of his best friends Tim Corbin, then he went after his other best friend Dan McDonald, then he went after known with Schloss, and, lastly, after all those went belly up, he went back to McDonnell and asked him "who would you hire?"

Thus, I expect Cohen to take the same strategy with the football hire. He knows his job will be on the line with this next hire and thus I expect him to go with safe and known.

I don't see him hiring a G5 coach that he doesn't know or has a super super trusted connection with.

Therefore, if Cohen repeats the successful strategy of his last under fire hire, then he'll go after a proven power 5 head coach and then probably call Mullen, Byrne, and Stricklin and ask them who they would hire.

After hiring a guy he didn't know or have a connection with in Moorhead, I can't see him taking that path again.
