His last 3 coaching hires Joe Moorhead Mike Leach (RIP) Hugh Freeze


Leach was a good hire

The other two were thought at the time to be solid hires they just didn’t pan out

Yes, and also a "safe" hire.

Cohen absolutely didn't want Leach. He hated Leach. Too based for him. Leach was his last resort.

He was an abhorrent AD. Good baseball coach, dog shite AD. What he did to stifle our NIL fundraising should be criminal.

Good luck Auburn. You'll need it.

Cohen passed on a ton of good coaches because he couldn’t put his ego away.

Again. Good luck Auburn. You’ll need it.

Dang, even Cohen knows how to get his buyout papers at Auburn.


Auburn, where mediocrity goes to get paid off.

Still don’t really understand why State fired Moorhead.

He was 14-12 (7-9) in his two years at State. They would kill for that right now.

Also, the hire of Mike Leach was a good one

Wasn’t a win/loss thing with Moorhead. We had bad internal discipline issues with him. Players walked all over him.

The SEC needs to get crappy with the middle of the pack teams, let us skate to the playoffs like the big 10.

I don't know if allowed, but it is relevant. This guy and Tim from Apple will hire the most DEI hire they can find.

Fairly certain it is an indicator that Durkin is the man and has to retain current staff, with potential exceptions approved by him as AD. Saves all the staff buyouts and complete overhaul for new staff, while holding current recruiting ties intact

If Cohen is truly choosing. Get ready for some the following names to pop up:

Mike Denbrock
Jimbo Fisher
Shannon Dawson

Fit his previous hires to a t.

I wouldn't be surprised if Karine Jean-Pierre isn't on the list. Her and Beth Mowens.

Horrific internal discipline along with him not being a cultural fit.

Hell after they beat us in the Egg Bowl he told State fans that were calling for him to be fired to “pound sand”.

The last straw was when one of their defensive players punched and broke their starting QBs orbital bone in a bowl game practice.
