Does he hire Doug or try to find an accomplished women's coach. Word is DN want's the women's job and he has done plenty to stake his claim now plus he now has the fanbase on his side. On the other hand there are legitimate concerns about his ability to sustain a good women's program.
The thing is if Cohen chooses to give Doug the Gary Henderson treatment he better not miss or he will be eaten alive for not hiring Novak. Plus there is the distinct likelihood he will be preoccupied looking for a men's coach at the same time. The way I would look at it is Novak has enough talent coming back next year to have a pretty good season so give him a chance and see what he can build off of it. If it doesn't work then at least you gave him a chance. The howland replacement is a can't miss too and if I were him I would not want two of those on my plate at the same time. I'd hire Novak in a minute.
