New DC: Mullen & Cohen

[CochiseCowbell]

Am I the only one who feels that Cohen had more of a heavy hand in this than is being discussed? Granted, it behooves both of them, the football program, & the university to never publically delve into the specifics of decision making/pants wearing inner workings of their professional relationship.

But, all these posts about whether Sirmon was looking first, told to look by Mullen but not fired, Mullen found out he was looking at CU then did so & so... ad nauseam, with Cohen simply making the funds available seem to discount the possibility of the latter's impact.

Caveat: I have zero connections or inside info. Just my opinion here.

I like to think it went like this:
JC: "Ok, enough 17'ing around, Dan. What do you need to win?"
DM: "Eh, I dunno, maybe let's give Hev a raise? Heh heh, just kidding there boss... Ehhhh, I'm good... Yep, got it all under control."
JC: "********. What about that swiss cheese you called a defense? Don't we need to do something there?"
DM: "Oh, yeah, well eh I guess we could deal with a new guy over there on that side of the ball there."
JC: "Good answer. Go find the best guy we can get - I'm talking about a no-******** real-deal guy who's run a defense before. Don't come back with some linebacker coach I've never heard of from the Pac-17'ing-12. Report back Friday with a short list and how much it'll cost."

Why wouldn't that conversation occur with the OL corch.....I like Cohen a lot as AD but I know The Ninja and he's no ninja but maybe he's just as good

John...Dan, what do you need to make this thing work?

Dan: A good D coordinator,

John ...ok, go hire one, and get out of his way.

Screw the cost...make it happen.

I doubt if any of us will ever find out. All I care is that we made a major upgrade.

Whoever made the call is a better man than I am. Having the ability to pay $600k+ for a defensive coordinator should guarantee us a defense in the top half of college football at least.
