There doesn't seem to be much due diligence you can do beyond taking a shot at a disciple of one of those elites, which Cohen did. I don't know how much of her propensity for political expression was known prior to her hire, but regardless I highly doubt it would have mattered if she'd been a better coach. Bottom line is we were fortunate to have our run and it was always very unlikely to be sustainable after Vic no matter who we hired.
Her politics had absolutely nothing to do with her coaching. She was in over her head and it showed. Just like Cohen?s politics have nothing to do with him being a crappy AD. He is in over his head and he continually shows it.
