Was he on his way out and Auburn gave him a parachute? Or a good AD?

.... and thoughts on Nelle?

I still can’t believe Auburn hired him. He was about to get fired by State. It almost mirrored A&M hiring Bjork before we could fire him

He’s a great AD for Auburn. I hope he stays there forever.

He keeps falling up. He was hired by Ohio state right before we fired him. He nearly pushed through the Stoops hire, but the people’s rebellion killed that and forced him out.

Absolute dog shite AD.

He aways thought he was the smartest guy in the room.

He and Leach were not on good terms because Leach was a logical human being (and actually smart) and Cohen can't have that with his trans daughter running around.

He was a penny pincher and basically said to hell with NIL putting us far behind the curve to where we're just now catching up, but with a last name of Cohen, it shouldn't be a surprise he didn't want to spend any money.

Cohen can go eat a barge load of chodes for the shite he did behind the scenes. Mainly asshurt about his politics not being popular so he took it out on people personally. Y’all can have him and his messed up family.

Is this fact? Seriously, didn't know that.
It always seems the ones who advocate for that type (as his wife did) have one in the family

Our fanbase couldn’t stand him as AD. Selmon runs circles around him, especially when it comes to raising money.

Truly shocked when Auburn hired him. We were pretty pumped about that

I figured Auburn boosters just wanted somebody they could control idk

Good baseball coach though

Yes. Lots of friction with people inside the department and outside (donors and alumni) because of his wife always bringing up this shite. Many inside things done that seemed almost like purposely self sabotage. The only good thing from it was that we have seen an uptick in donations since he left. People are grateful to have him out of the building and program.

Awful AD thanks for "stealing" him. Arguably worse than Templeton for us.

Templeton was way better than Cohen.
Cohen was a great baseball coach.
At the beginning of his tenure as AD, I think he did a credible job but after a couple of years in, everything went South. And at the end, it was a relief when Auburn took him off our hands.

Big time liberals who let conservative Mississippians know it. He had no clue what to do with the NIL stuff.

I never understood the move for Auburn on that. Sexton sold them a bill of goods.
