No doubt! Isn’t that always the case when it’s another program?

no. A lot of boosters and fans did not like cohen when he was here. Toward the end there were some major disagreements with him and higher ups at the university as well

At the end of the day it worked out for both parties though.

Greg Byrne is a good AD but if I was Auburn I would be sweating profusely. Cohen suuuuuuuuucks.

Honest Question, I did not give full attention to the game. Did Utah sell out to stop the run? Looks like they did with the QB putting up 330 yards.

I think it was a combination of our offensive line being inexperienced and not good right now and Napier pulling the plug too quickly.

Yea Cohen is too full of pride to accept advice and Stricklin is nothing but an errand boy. Now who in conference can we get to hire Lemonhead next.....?

You have my exact thoughts. That performance was so bad that if there's not some sort of improvement that you can't keep him or Florida would've basically swapped with Tennessee for a bit.

I was just talking to an FSU fan who's a client of mine, and he's super pumped that Florida looks like they won't be worth a shite for while. After last night, I think I agree.

We’ve had a shitty AD since Pat Dye lost the job, if Cohen goes sideways it’s just business as usual at Auburn. We were born in this fire.

How has Auburn's athletic dept. been "ruined" by our current AD?

Someone posted the “talent” stats earlier this week. And Florida ranked 15th in country. That Florida team last night was nowhere close to 15th.

15. Florida - 1 5*, 43 4* (44)

I think Florida was a lot further down than most people realized when he took over

Florida had 6 guys drafted, which was tied for the 5th most of any school in the country and the 3rd most in the sec. That included your quarterback being selected 4th overall. I don’t think talent was the problem last year.

Yes, Mullen needed a few more years to build the OL and DL but would’ve brought a championship to Florida for sure

Mullen also had a losing season his third year at Mississippi State but later had 10 and 9 win seasons. He would’ve figured it out and had the right players eventually.

What’s so great about Billy Bob that’s better than Mullen? Talk about a downgrade!
