I was on vacation recently down south and visited several churches and thought "I would stink if I took a job here as a pastor. The pay would be much higher, but it's too formal for me. I would be a terrible fit here." It's important to realize those types of things. I am really seeing fruit where God has placed me, but put me in one of these other churches, and I would probably be fired within 2 years.
That's exactly the type of problem with Joe. To play in the SEC, the team has to have a toughness about it, and especially Mississippi State has to develop a physical and mental toughness. One can really say it's in our DNA. Some coaches are good at that and others aren't. However, as an AD, Coehen should know the DNA of the university and see that our coach just doesn't have what it takes to be successful here (what he displayed as baseball coach much of the time). Nothing personal against Joe, but it's not a good fit. It's not so much about wins and losses, but as Brandon Walker put it tonight, it's about getting embarrassed, and like other times, we got embarassed.
One more thing, within a church or organization, the last thing you want to do is make the supporters mad unless you absolutely have to. Joe will only dig himself further into a hole by snide remarks which will only result on less money people will spend.
BTW, I was on the fire Moorhead train pretty early. If I can afford it, I will gladly buy some meals for those on here who support Joe (except for Rupert) if Joe turns out to be a success, but I don't see it happening.
Cohen, if you read the Pack (and you should; it's really the core mindset of State fans, not as crazy as Elite Dawgs, but not a looser type of mentality like others), it's time to fire the guy.
