If these “multiple AU coaches” are current football coaches, then I want Cohen even more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-24 3,063 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I thought one of the main reasons we picked the school president that we chose, was to avoid all of this Auburn drama. At this point, I don’t know what to believe but if it took him 2 1/2 months to replace Greene, and he’s just now hearing from coaches about this, it sounds pretty suspect to say the least. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After waiting almost 2 months to make the decision? I’m telling you, I just don’t get it. Pause… Now that I’ve taken a deep breath and calmed down, I guess it could just be the paysites got this all wrong and screwed it up again.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,652 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 How do you cancel Hartwell’s interview and get Cohen in, if the coaches already signed of one guy. What could possibly put Cohen over Nunez in that scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucom96 1,618 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Yeah, I really hope the foggy chain of events click jockeys have forged is wrong, because if it's even anywhere near true than we've become less capable in our leadership, not more. I've seen numerous State fans make the allegation that Cohen and Thompson do not get along, and that one of the problems with the guy is he isn't well liked. In the world according to "sources", this guy was on no one's radar until the day the presumed favorite candidate is supposed to interview. Now we're backing away? What a mess. JABA has never been more JABA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autiger88 3,777 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) None of this is surprising or atleast it shouldn't be...I said it yesterday that nothing was concrete... Everybody jumped to soon on the Cohen hire, I don't believe for a second though that this has to do with any coaches for the simple fact they've had to known about this for a while so that doesn't make sense...I honestly don't believe he was that much of a surprise either...So Called insiders backtracking is my belief until proven otherwise.

ArTiger 37 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 it’s very simple - If he can bring in Coach Prime I will say Cohen is a good hire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEAugirl 9,623 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I find it curious Thamel is the one that first broke all this since he has been Harsin’s mouthpiece and after the whole Cam saga I am not sure who at Auburn who would “know” would give him the time of day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforwinger 443 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hilarious. Until proven wrong, I’ll assume the latest rumors are just the guys on the pay sites trying to backtrack on their original “reporting” to make themselves look less like rumor mongers. Probably just selling future subscriptions to the people who love to say JABA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyinsocal 831 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Leadership 101. If I'm vetting Cohen, input from Butch, AND Johnnie Harris would be a requirement. She followed Vic Schaefer to A&M after not getting the job as his replacement. Secondly, don't ever hire someone your people are not expecting. If this part is true?
