Not sure why it's so outlandish to think that the best AD for us is a guy that is MSU thru and thru.
Interseting to me that the best choice for MSU is always a MSU guy.

I think you can almost bet on one thing, whether we eventually hire Cohen or not this was let out by the CL for a reason and that reason was not intended to sell papers or help MSU. The CL would never set foot on campus with credentials as long as I was around if I was Keenum. Not until everyone from the editor to Bonner has been replaced.

We finally agree on something!

Agree 100%. The CL's need to scoop everybody else and "break" a story before any other newspaper was definitely not their MO. Underlying intentions were to arguably cause other reputable candidates to think "wtf" and "why do I want to get involved with an outfit like this if I'm being toyed with?" Regardless, Bonner's actions were highly unethical and lacked journalistic integrity, which has unfortunately has become the norm for media outlets across the nation.

I think that very well might be why. Now who wanted it done is another question. There are more than just one or two possibilities there.

This is the real question.

That what's making this extremely interesting is there are multiple possibilities and probably a combination of more than one.

Professional journalists go by the rule of 2 confirmations before going to print or air, Bonner did neither from what I have seen. It would be too easy to call for a comment or confirmation. What Bonner did, chasing a unconfirmed source or rumor is called Yellow Journalism. The Clarion Ledger is backing the story, because they have no choice, they put it out there. Sam Hall has no choice but to take action against the reporter and the editor who allowed a false story to be printed.
Keenum should threaten the Cl with pulling credentials. It worked for Mississippi, they get softball treatment and it cost Riley Blevins his job.
This comment will be copied and pasted to an e-mail to Sam Hall, Editor and Chief of the Clarion Ledger.

But when cohen actually becomes AD and Bonner actually reported it right, what does that mean?
-
And I thought the CL had to receive approval from OM people before they published an article on us? Oh!! wait...His sources told him?. I'm glad I dropped that piece of a crap newsrag several years ago.

Probably that MSU never intended to do a real national search or someone is trying to force Cohen to be the AD.

If Dr. Keenum said they are doing a nationwide seach then that is what is happening.

Like it's been already stated, even if Cohen is named AD it was false reporting. The university is still conducting a search. It doesn't matter if it is a legit search or if they are just going through the motions. They had not named him AD yet and CL reported falsely.

Exactly. I agree we should still tell the CL to piss off but if we do indeed hire Cohen, we are going to look dumb AF

I don't see how we are going to look dumb if we hire Cohen. Nobody said we aren't going to hire Cohen it was just said that the process isn't over. I'm sure some Bear fans and some media will claim we look dumb but the fact is that what Bonner reported is incorrect.
