however bad he absolutely screwed everything else up during his AD tenure it doesn't take away from his job as our coach IMO.
You want a coach that does not win games but talks like he won multiple conference and national titles?

A lot is made of how bad Polk II was but Polk II was better than following Serrano at Tennessee. 4 single Digit win seasons in 6 years but No sweat for Vitello. Butch inherited an Auburn program with 3 regionals in 10 years, has a better W% than Cohen and the same Omahas. Also better than Mings inheritance at UK, 2 regionals in 8 years prior.

If Winning and results are the prime measure. Cohen provided Butch (Auburn) and Mingione (Kentucky) results to MSU. One more Omaha than Ming but much fewer wins. All that with MSU facilities, fan base, tradition, and support.
