He's really willing to fight the whole world to keep a bad coach around 1 more year?

And what does " they do not have a choice at this point" mean, surely the boosters are powerful enough to force Cohens hand right
Cohen and Joe are extremely close friends. Talk on the phone for hours at a time after games and regularly meet, Thats one reason I wasnt suprised when he was defending him with Finebaum when he was on campus that was only the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, any other AD in the country would have probably fired him after that show he gave Thurs combined with everything else but apparently their personal relationship is what is getting in the way of any change being made. Cohen going to bat for his guy is what it boils down to.
