Yep.

All these people are freaking out like they KNOW Cohen would be a bad hire. He likely wouldn't be, but nobody knows. Besides, none of us know a damn thing about hiring an AD. Saying Cohen is a "lazy" choice, or "I'm done if we hire Cohen", is just so damn ridiculous. From a fans perspective, Cohen has everything I want in an AD....involved in all sports on campus, smart guy, knows how to raise funds, knows how to recruit and how important recruiting is in all sports, and wants MSU to win Championships. Plus, nobody walks on Cohen like they do Stricklin.

To anyone saying John's a terrible hire, give me YOUR short list for AD and what makes them the guy for the job. I'll hang up and listen.
