According to the Clarion-Ledger, Alabama has expressed interest in MSU coach John Cohen.
quote:

The coaching moves also may not be finished. Sources told The Clarion-Ledger that Alabama is interested in John Cohen, while Arkansas is looking at pitching coach Wes Johnson, who arrived on campus earlier this year. Cohen grew up in Tuscaloosa, while Johnson is a native of Sherwood, Arkansas, and graduated from Arkansas-Monticello

I smell someone fishing for a raise. 1) the report is in the Clarion-Ledger, meaning the story was leaked from the Cohen camp or it would be in a different newspaper most likely. 2) Cohen's name came out of nowhere with the tenuous link to Bama being that he is from Tuscaloosa. Big deal, StarkVegas is an hour down the road. It's not like he's in California. 3) he played at State. He's AT home for all intents and purposes. Why would he want to coach for Bama?
I maintain we are still talking with our targets or they are still playing ball and Cohen isnt among either group but wants a bump in pay so he called a contact in Jackson and leaked his name in connection to the Tide. It'll probably work too but it's not hard to see through.

I believe we are still targeting Pierce, the ECU guy, or possibly Calvi at USA. I did hear an interesting if slightly far fetched story on another board that the TCU guy is on the radar and his interest is being measured. That would be a home run hire for sure but I think it's just an interesting rumor.

Well. The second part of that blurb from the Clarion-Ledger is indeed true. Arkansas has hired State's pitching coach to the same position.
