    We should just go try to rehire Cohen again. He sucks as an AD anyway and was much better as a baseball coach.

    On one condition, he becomes 2008-2013 John Cohen again. Complete asshole to players and fans alike and just grinds 24/7/365.

    Going to be a couple more top assistant names and HC names. I'll go ahead and say I don't believe Coggin, Burroughs, Godwin(but watch this one), Ostrander will be on the list since they come up a lot.
    I think we've got our shit in order and will make a great hire. Watch list O'Connor, maybe Godwin but that's big maybe with other rumors there. Going to be some big names but will we get them/will they come?

    Gotta feel like there were some talks before making the move today.

    I don't think we fire someone midseason if we haven't

    This is 100% Kendall Rogers trying to get him a raise and drive up clicks, but he says Brian O'Conner is a possibility. Said he almost left for A&M last year.

    Again, it won't happen. But... could you imagine??

    He and Godwin are in the same boat IMO- Innuendo and wishful thinking

    The fact that he is only 53 is shocking. But you are right, Kendall Rodgers is going to do what he usually does in these searches, get coaches raises because he spouts exactly what these agents tell him to say.

    I've already penciled in Godwin at Ole Miss when Bianco retires

    It's not BS on O'Conner. I mentioned him on this board a couple of months ago. He's not happy with the UVA NIL situation. They are having a rough year this year. He was going to take the Ole Miss job if Bianco was fired. The funny thing is, I'm not sure if I even want him.

    I think he's great, but also can't win the big one

    He probably thinks he can win the big one at MSU though.

    Probably so, & he might. But his assistant is a big part of it and he's probably getting that job if O'Connor leaves

    Selmon has been having conversations since before this season began. He is no idiot. And Cohen better never get. Job here again in any capacity. He would suck as a coach in the portal era.
