It’s obvious that we made a huge mistake giving John Cohen the AD position... his #1 job is to hire coaches ( and not be Jim Ellis’ color guy)... we are in a big time League and were put in a position to succeed by Byrne and even Stricklin....we now have the second coming of Larry Templeton at AD...

Don't be ignorant. Everybody in the country talked about what a great hire we made. 90% of you idiots agreed. You sound like a bunch of delusional OM fans.

We won't win until we get a QB. Fire Moorhead and there isn't a decent coach in the country that would take the job. So if you want to get another AD and football coach start at the junior college ranks because that is all you will get.

There is a lot of quality AD’s and Head Coach’s that would come to MSU now... this is not pre 2009....

I don't think you could put a number on how many coaches could have done a better job than Croomhead with this team. We're approaching the LT era ineptness level at a high rate of speed as far as athletic director goes.

You are kidding yourself. If you get rid of Moorhead now there isn't a good coach in the country that will come to State.

Guaranteed a coach making 500k would take 3 mill for a chance. This theory makes zero sense.

You can certainly fire Cohen's ***. That would be a start in the right direction.

Bahaha. Thanks for agreeing. You even think we would get a 500k coach. Not exactly looking at a great coaching list there are we?

So when we drop to Croom level play on the football field for the next 2-4 years we can say... “well we got a nice baseball field”... but so will every other SEC school except Vandy....

Hiring Cohen as AD was the most mississippi state thing ever.

I totally agree! When we hired him I asked myself whether any other FBS university in the country would have hired him when we did, and my conclusion was and is NO, that absolutely no one else would have hired him as AD. Which makes me ask this question: Why the hell did we? It was definitely about as MSU thing as anything I have seen. Reminds me of the year that Rocky Fleker, when he was head coach, hired his defensive coordinator to be the offensive coordinator.

Well we couldn’t get Jeff Brihn now because that 36000 enrollment school is about make him a well paid Head Ball Coach. He would probably leave for Louisville, not a second tier SEC school like MSU.

But I would be willing to bet Neal Brown would come next year. But Auburn will probably scoop him up.

We could get a competent AD....We hired a guy who “sat in a few interviews” with Stricklin, who so far has failed miserably at hiring coaches.
