Cann (scandal), NMP (bad coach and died), Moorhead (bad coach fired), Leach (good coach but poor recruiter and died), and of course whiffed on Schloss to get us Lemon. And of course lost both Mullen and Schaefer. But did a great job getting us going on NIL.... oh wait. I actually think Cohen was worse that Templeton ever was as an AD.
Cohen did make the right decision at the time hiring Leach and he did make a good hire with Jans. He made a better hire his 2nd time around with women?s basketball, but none of that equates to the awful hire he made with Moorhead. Also his lack of interest in NIL and letting all the other schools pool ahead of us was just horrible management. I am glad he is not our problem anymore but there are still a lot of impacts to this day on his hiring decisions. He was definitely not a good AD
