I'll tell you exactly what they're saying.

This means Yellawood is unhappy.

 

[AstroDog]

Bobby Lowder?....is that you lurking around again?

 

[Perd Hapley]

That’s cute. Its a done deal. Auburn folks can either get on board, or cry about it until they can afford the buyout….which might be awhile if their football coach is any indication.

[WilCoDawg]

Here I was thinking MSU always made the worst hires and then Auburn asks us to hold their PBR.

 

[Preacher Franklin]

Wonder what the Leo Seale family is thinking?

I don't give a rat's *** how much pushback they're getting. Even if the deal falls through we ain't taking you back, John.

 

[patdog]

Damn! Don't tell me yesterday was all just one big tease. Why do they have to pick NOW of all times to use a bit of common sense in their hirings and firings?

I reported on our site yesterday that John Cohen spoke with Auburn representatives about the position this week. I also reported last night that Mississippi State has already informed Cohen they'd be moving on from him (at some point) and to look for other opportunities.

And your report about Mississippi State officials is completely false.

I've been as big of a John Cohen apologist on this board as anyone, but holy 17 John. Camel back broken.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Yeah hard to hold onto him now. Sorry John. If you wanted to interview, make sure you did it secretly.

 

[AstroDog]

In my professional life, I sure as heck didn't let my current employer know I was interviewing.....that's just a basic job strategy. My guess is Auburn Cigar Boys can push back all they want, but if both parties have already signed the papers.........too bad or in their case.....tough titty said the kitty. Should make this coming Saturday's game truly more special than what we originally anticipated. Think John will be introducing guests all throughout the game like he normally does?.....ha, ha!! Doubt it.

 

[SteelCurtain74]

As a Steelers fan, I've always liked Coach Tomlin's saying that "We want volunteers, not hostages" when describing team and organizational buy in. Cohen doesn't seem to be bought in and needs to go. There's a small part of me that hopes Auburn changes course and hires someone else just to see Cohen get screwed over but for the bigger picture I hope they keep him.

On a side note, can we stop with the "They are an MSU grad or they have ties to MSU/Mississippi" so they must go to the top of the list when it comes to our next AD. The last two AD'S we had both were that and have left. I just want the best person possible that can move the needle for our athletic program.

For me, it's pretty simple. You hire the best man you can for the job with in your budget. You offer the most competitive pay you can, you let it be known his responsibility is. etc.

Oh the money people can make any deal go away.

If they don't want him, they have proven the person coming in has no chance, Just like with Hasin. That guy never had a chance and they went after his family on day 1. How pathetic is it that because you didn't agree with the hire that you gather together to ruin a man's life.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Auburn is FULL of MSU people. I'm sure they have an opinion.

 

[AstroDog]

Yes....Money people can make it go away, but it will cost them dearly. Cohen could then retire comfortably anywhere in the world he wants.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Cohen is consistent. He's always going to struggle to close the deal.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Auburn is letting everyone see who is really in charge of that athletic program. No worry! They've done a smashing job of driving the car from the backseat the last decade.

He can already. We had just raised him 3 months ago to 1.1 million.

Eh. Here’s the deal from where I see it:

Auburn boosters are likely pissed off.

But they’re also looking at John’s age.

He’s 56. He wanted to make a move from State while he would still be young enough to do so.

They know he’s not going to be at Auburn long.

I give Cohen 4-6 years on the Plains before he retires— depending on how good a decision he’s allowed to make on the football coach.

[Pilgrimdawg]

Too late. Unemployment office is right down the road.

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Maybe WE need to just shut up, and hope that it goes thru.

 

[MStateU]

Can you imagine Cohen and Bruce Pearl working together? I can’t imagine that’s going to be a good relationship.

 

[Statefan92]

Well 17!!!

 

[Xenomorph]

Doesn’t matter if he’s doing the hiring or the one being hired.. if Cohen is involved it becomes a sh!tshow.

Oddly, I have read they are already close friends.

Steve is reporting what Cohen is saying and he's tight with Cohen, so he's being a good soldier. The other guy has a high placed source at Mississippi State.

mmm... That doesn't sound smart if true.

That's how the whole Harsin deal happened. Those boosters are willing to ruin anybody that steps in their way of running the show. So the President and Cohen (if they don't want him) are done soon.

Sounds like they've heard about Nelle.

Candidate for Auburn AD praised by and with close ties to Mississippi…

While many expect Mississippi State’s John Cohen to take over soon as Auburn University’s athletic director, it has not been without some pushback from…

You have to give them credit for given Newton the money and twisting it, so it was not against NCAA rules at the time. Yes, their money guys might be stupid but at least they have balls unlike ours. Stupid rich people with balls will come through every time. They will just fix a mistake with another mistake until one time it's not a mistake.

Well I guess if Cohen didn’t know how crazy Auburn was, he does now. Pretty crappy that they’d stoop to that level, but its what he signed up for I suppose.
