Why Keenum railed on Bonner

I think that Bonner was one hundred percent informed when he announced that Cohen had been hired, however, Cohen insisted to Keenum to wait to announce the hire until Cohen had found a replacement baseball coach, so the signing class wouldn't fall apart in the uncertainty of who we would hire.

With that said, I am slightly disappointed that the defending SEC Champions couldn't get a bigger name coach. Optimistic though because I always felt like Cohen got in his own way pretty often coaching.

I can see how those would fit together, but I don't think that's accurate. If Bonner doesn't publish his article this all goes down 3 weeks ago. Keenum did all of this to distance himself from that article.

I don't think Cohen would wait this long to announce if it was a done deal 3 weeks ago, the longer you wait the more it affects signing class. I would think you announce it asap after details are worked it
