So it was Keenum that wouldn't fire Joe, not Cohen.

This makes more sense now. The fightgate and blowout loss to UL now has Keenum 2nd guessing his original decision after the Egg Bowl. It's okay to admit your mistake Mark, go ahead and make the right decision now..

I don't post much anymore but still read. Had to jump in here, because this is 100% not true.
I'm not sure how much some of you know about the job of a university president, but being involved with every detail of athletics is not on the list. I can also assure you that he had no part in stepping in to save JoMo.

Who are the cigar boys? Since they are running things and making decisions that affect all of us, seems fitting we know who they are. These unelected officials should have some accountability and transparency. Anybody wanna start compiling a roster?

I was in the locker room after the egg bowl and Keenum’s speech to Moorhead made it clear he was staying on for another year. I walked out knowing there was no way Joe would be fired after the way Keenum praised him. If Joe gets fired in the next few days, that means Keenum is the one who had a change of heart.

Your and idiot. It was Keenum that saved Joe. You know we won the damn Egg Bowl.

He's gone now though.

Anyone that says Dr Keenum isn’t involved in every single aspect of MSU Athletics should be banned from this discussion. I do agree he doesn’t have time to fool with it but he does.

I won't care if we really do change coaches.

Too many folks try to protect Keenum when he is a miserable micromanager. His fingerprints are on everything that goes on in the athletic department. If he spent as much time on academics as he does meddling in the AD, he might have us going in the right direction. It was absolutely him that saved JoMo.
