Not quite. Cohen was at Kentucky in 2007,

I'm pretty sure the Arkansas, Aggy, Tennessee and MSU fanbases on the rant have dispelled the myth that you actually need to win something of significance to brag.

Reservoir dawg, at the risk of hijacking this thread, but then the POS link may be there: why did Polk dislike Cohen so much? Was it because Cohen was a POS or was it something professional? I presume they have kissed & made up by now?

Not Resevoir Dawg but I can give it a shot. Polk really loved all of his former players. Stayed in contact with many, bought a suite so they could come back and visit (don't know if he still has it or not) but he didn't dislike John but created a rift that I do not know whether it has been mended yet or not. I know on the surface it is but deep down; not sure. Polk opposed Cohen's hiring not because of Cohen but because Tommy Raffo was passed over. Tommy played a little later than Cohen but then came on as a coach and was there for a good number of years. Polk thought Raffo deserved the job and was quite irreverent about it.

Yep, just to add Tommy Raffo was pretty much the head coach in waiting and got passed over due to his association with the end of Polk's tenure. Had Polk retired one season earlier he likely would have named his own successor. As things ended so poorly new blood was chosen, thus the rift. Again this was not an anti Cohen thing just bruised ego's over Tommy Raffo.
