I quoted the statement about Roberts re: pushback and asked if Hoke was the only one reporting this. Don't know how that wasn't clear enough.

Please, who is reporting this besides Hoke then? Because he's the only one I've seen even make that statement.

Obviously. That's why I'm asking, because if we're taking Hoke's word as fact, then we might as well use The Onion as our source for news.

The Rivals side of mods has been quiet regarding the Thamel rumor and the pushback rumors unless it was mentioned in a brain drain session.


Actually, I do see where JGT said Cohen may be the guy based on process of elimination. He believes Nunez bounced and we told Hartwell “thanks, but no thanks”

He doesn’t know anything.

Just saw an E2C Network tweet sighting sources (one from each side) saying an offers not been made yet, but that's it.


Nothing about coach pushback.

PAM hasn’t heard anything about that. Harsin doesn’t matter. Butch likes the guy. Would Bruce care? Doubtful.

Butch Thompson coached under him so I doubt him. The WBB coach was at MSU before, but they had lots of success with him as AD. Those are the only 2 I could think of that would know Cohen.

There are no insiders. Thamel is the one who said it was a done deal.

Hoke just posted an update saying with absolutely certainty that there is pushback on Cohen being the hire, and that some of the pushback is coming from multiple AU coaches. Insiders have been far more miss than hit so who knows.


Just more made up bullshite to keep boomers subscribed.

Why does it seem like it's always Hoke who starts rumors about Auburn stuff

They should let Bruce make the hire. Our top leadership doesn’t know sports.

This is our football coach that got us blown out by fricking Arkansas at home

Having Bruce involved with hiring a football coach sounds crazy. But it honestly would not be a bad idea for Auburn. A new AD coming in would be just taking a stab in the dark. Just as Greene did.

That’s where I’m at. Bruce built his basketball empire here. Let him have a say so. Same thing with Butch in baseball. We are so close to dominating the big 3 sports.

If we make the right AD and football hire, we are on the cusp of athletic dominance in this conference.

I just feel like good coaches know good coaches. He should be able to get a feel for a new incoming coach and how they would fit in. Especially in the SEC since he has so much experience in it.

That’s who it seems to be. Maybe because she didn’t get a chance to be a HC there.

If Butch Thompson is one pushing back, I'd put a lot of weight into his opinion since he worked under Cohen as an assistant the entire time Cohen was HC of the MSU baseball team

If it's not Bruce or Butch pushing back, then it really shouldn't matter.
