How do you figure? Because of the fricking AD's kid? I swear, some of the posters on this board are so driven by emotion.

Na because he has the balls/audacity to still love his kid and hasn’t issued a public statement disowning em.

Some of these people shouldn’t breed.

Thanks for clarifying that, but thanks more importantly for the perspective from a parent living with and coping with that. I have a daughter close to the same age, and a younger son, and there is nothing they could tell me that would change how I feel about them. I said before that I doubt this is ideal for Cohen, but you don't stop loving your child. Part of love is learning to accept it, regardless of your opinion as you've shown here

All I care about is if Butch and Bruce sign off on him. If they are ok with it, sign him up, and let’s roll

I have no idea.

I saw one Auburn announcement on Facebook that said he was hired but most things say, not yet

The people here scared of a trans person and “wokeness” (Fox news fear mongering that you dumbasses fall for) are the same people that wouldn’t hesitate to hire Freeze.


Wrong.

I have the exact same opinion of a Freeze hire as I do hiring this guy.

BAD BUSINESS decision unless they are a guaranteed slam dunk hire. I would vomit over hiring that guy and his baggage.

Please don’t try to equate Bruce Pearl with this situation. That man had an illegal BBQ - no controversy in that at all.

Anyone that needs an AD or coach, or anyone in their families to be their moral compass, and the examples set for their kids probably shouldn't be spending time watching sports. Put things in perspective

My only concern with Cohen is not his political views but his wife, who is apparently pretty political publicly.
Auburn as a university needs to stay politically neutral for the benefit of the university. We need the support of BOTH parties in the legislature and Auburn does not need a politically divisive message coming out of the AD office. Politics are so polarizing as it is.
This is the only problem I have seen from my serious State friends with Cohen, they don’t appreciate the partisanship coming out of the AD’s office from his wife…..and before you say his wife is not the AD that is true, but she is STILL a representative of the university and needs to act as such.

Can agree with that, then Auburn will hopefully put measures in place if needed

Hoke posted again. Bunch of nothing really.

I can tell you that neither Butch Thompson or Bruce Pearl are going to badmouth John Cohen or the potential hire to anyone right now. I wouldn't characterize their positions as supporting or not supporting Cohen. I think they are neutral right now, letting Chris Roberts go through the process and make the hire he deems best.
No idea why he keeps posting when his credibility is taking a hit with every post unless its just comes out that he was the only person to had this right and everyone else was wrong.

He really needs to shut up. He's not helping anything.

Or maybe he is a failure at raising his kid properly?

Speaking of politics, did AU end up firing unvaxxed staff members?

I understand Bruce and Butch are good with this. That is good enough for me.
