So the university is now putting out unarmed sources to try to justify their indefensible hire?DerekJohnson said:Per a reliable source, Cohen was basically the one who hired Petersen, in spite of Woodward.
If true... for those inclined like myself to think this was a bad hire born of nepotism, does this alter your opinion? -
as per sources, here's a picture of Jen Cohen working on the Petersen hire.

The lack of football wins in this list speaks volumes.Tequilla said:
There's a lot of FS here ...dnc said:I'm always skeptical about giving the assistant credit or blame for what the HC did. Every once in awhile there's a Chip Kelly/Mike Bellotti situation, but those are the exception, not the rule.
Regardless who negotiated the deal, Pete was Woody's hire, for better or for worse.
It's possible she turns out to be a decent AD. The smart money's on dumpster fire, though.
We don't really know one way or another what was going on in the AD, who was running what, and the like.
No question that the buck in the AD stopped at Woody but how much he farmed out you'd have to be on the inside to know and few can answer that question.
The reality is that forget the rest, Cohen's ultimately going to be measured on:
1) Taking a budget deficit to a surplus --> also known as football being the cash cow
2) Marketing the shit out of the program to aide in 1) happening
3) What she ultimately decides to do with Romar when she doesn't have the cover of a budget deficit to hide behind when it comes to firing Romar ... let's be honest here, if the boosters really wanted Romar gone they'd pony up the cash to buy him out. -
I like to say that Alabama stole Saban from LSU while forgetting that he had a failed NFL stint in between ... that's what I like to do

Sometimes I wonder why we bother out here. Derek tries to bring some info we are hearing and the usual idiots step all over it. We report what we hear. You can decide for yourselves. Just make sure that what you decide is what we say.

I won't know until after this season. If 9-3 or better then Kudos...DerekJohnson said:Per a reliable source, Cohen was basically the one who hired Petersen, in spite of Woodward.

If worse then its just more of the same... -
I've fought in three wars and lost a lot of brothers. I'm honoring those fallen brothers today, but quite honestly, Derek is as courageous as any of them.RaceBannon said:Sometimes I wonder why we bother out here.
