Paul saying it looks like Cohen will be AD

[msstate7]

Why would 2012 be a deciding factor for job searching in 2015? Not following that.

Dak made things more bearable... I don't know. I put 3 seconds of thought in that post, which is less than my normal 5 haha

[confucius say]

Keenum probably just wanted to announce someone other than Cohen first to save some face. If Cohen is announced shortly, keenum looks like a clown

How? Bonner was wrong and that's obvious. Details people.

Andy Cannizaro will be our next baseball coach. He's making about 400K now and will be making a little over a million as our new coach.

Bonner was right all along, he just let the cat out of the bag and it pissed Keenum off.

[Bucky Dog]

Word is Mullen supports Cohen. Cohen is demanding coaching changes, insert Hev, and Mullen respects him. Mullen WILL be our football coach next year. Our next baseball coach will be Brian O'Connor from VA. It's time to take advantage guys!!

[Cooterpoot]

Look for O'Conner from UVA or the hitting coach from LSU to be named Head Coach of our baseball program if this happens.

Also, from what I've been told Strick was told to look around by Mark. Mark told him he needed to do something about some assistants on the football team and Strick refused to press the issue on Mullen.

Cohen knows how to recruit to Starkville as well as Howland. If they're bringing big time guys here, so can our football coach. The talent we have here is a result of someone wanting to get out and handing recruiting over to Sleepy and Tony while he, Gonzo look for HC jobs. Cohen also will demand excellence from his coaches, I think it has a potential to be a great hire.

Wait a second, Cohen and Howland know how to recruit to State? Half the fans were ready to fire Cohen a couple years ago. His program defines rollercoaster. He had one big year like Mullen.
Howland has yet to prove a damn thing on the court. So the jury is still out on him.

Maybe it's my profession, but I don't see it that way. He said the search was over (we've interviewed at least four people since then, so all evidence is to the contrary), Cohen had been chosen (to believe this you would have to believe we interviewed at least four people just for show and there is zero evidence of that), and it would be announced on Tuesday (factually wrong).

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Keenum looks like a clown show for his remarks. Mother of god. Embarrassing.

Why? For not wanting the news of this to get out yet? Even if Cohen was and is the lead candidate but they were going to interview others, I would'nt want the news out prematurely either.

Ummm...I'm guessing you missed it, but Howland has a pretty good record of success on the court. Certainly the jury was out on whether he could recruit to MSU, but I think his track record already puts the jury in on that one, and he can recruit.

He doesn't have that track record at State. I don't care if his classes are top 10 every year if we don't win games. He's still got to prove he can win games here. Using him as an example of success at State just isn't possible yet. People forget, Mullen's classes, while low in the SEC, are still some of the highest rated classes State has seen.

There is a right way to dispute that report and a wrong way. Keenum painted himself in a corner for no reason. He looks awful when we hire Cohen. Absolutely pathatics optics on this one and that's the president of the university. Go reread the statement he put out.

This all damn day.

If Cohen is the guy, you ignore the report or simply say he is a candidate.

Keenun comes across terrible in this shitshow.

Cohen is like Ricky Bobby. He pisses excellence! He won't let lazy staff members get pay checks like Hev

[BossDawg]

It would be an absolute fail if we go with Cannozarro, he may end up being a good coach. I don't want to be the school that finds out if he can sink or swim as a HC especially when we are getting close to getting our new stadium etc. Honestly, I think Cohen might could make a good AD but, I think what is best for MSU right now is for Cohen to stick to baseball for several more years. Let us get the stadium built and hopefully he snags an NC at some point in the near future and then I would be fine with him replacing whoever takes over as AD. But, we are just now getting stable in baseball and all it will take is one tank of a hire to send us right back to where we were. If we had some of the built in advantages that LSU, UF, and Vandy have then I wouldn't be nearly as nervous. Obviously our baseball job is a pretty coveted one but it is not a top 3-5 job like some would like to think.

This. I could handle Cohen as AD as long as we end up with a legit home run hire for baseball. I don't want to bring in some experiment with a 50/50 shot of having success. We SHOULD be able to get damn near any coach in the country. The thought of Cannozaro or some other "hot" assistant really does concern me.

Only if you ignore details.

His statement never said we would not hire Cohen, only that the search was not over. Keenum has never said we would not hire Cohen. Only that the search was not over.

[tireddawg]

From what I've heard & the plan that is in place, it looks to be a very good plan. Guys be patient & see what unfolds. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If any of you think Cohen won't demand excellence, I don't know what to say. Cohen is a very intelligent individual & has been grooming for this long before he was given a title.

Not really. If they hadn't made the decision to hire Cohen yet, even if they were leaning in that direction, then he was completely in the right to get pissed about it. Especially if they were still doing interviews, and he claimed they were.

[smootness]

No, Keenum pretty much looks like a clown no matter what if Cohen ends up being the final pick. His fence straddling of the state flag issue for political points, handling of this AD situation, and alleged chewing out of Mullen after the Will Redmond scandal have all severely lowered my opinion of him. He can GTFO and go ahead and run for governor or Congress as far as I'm concerned.

Oh goodness, now we're trying to get Keenum fired?

You people are insane.

Im not saying fire or anything like that but HSV's post is dead on
