Instead Cohen tried to get cute. This was a massive opportunity squandered by our AD that will set the MSU football program back years. This is squarely on the head of Cohen and I'm ****ing mad as hell.
That's exactly what I don't understand. 15-20 years ago, this was the way to go (paying what we did for a "Moorhead"), but now with SEC revenue, we are a top-25 paying school with an "in-the-black" athletic department and we should never short-change coaching talent again!!! Paying $2-million for a HC was absurd when we were already paying top-15 nationally to Mullen.
