So not only is he good at selecting talented coaches, but also leaders. We need some leadership around here right now.
We need someone that isn't tied to Starkville.

And you are being short sighted with the baseball coach hire. What about Coggin and Henderson? We may have to get new assistant or we're going to hire a coach that is going to be coming in with assistants he didn't hire and is going to have to work with. The rumor is we're going to hire an assistant coach with for baseball with no head coaching experience although I will admit he is a good hitting coach. But my point is that's a major hire for us among two or three major hires that our athletic department is staring down the barrel at. How many football coaches are former Cohen assistants? How can Cohen lead when he has no experience in marketing and all of the other myriad of duties an AD has to do? You know what will happen there- the "people that know what they are doing" will take care of it right? How is he going to handle Ole Miss turning us in to the NCAA in retaliation in a couple of years?

This is VERY critical time for us and we need someone with experience. NOT the good ol boy network. But **** it. We never learn.
