Took a pay cut to be our athletic director, while our former AD saw the dollar signs and said peace out and then came back to pick the low hanging fruit because he is bad at his job and couldn’t convince an elite coach to go to Florida, likely a Top 5 program nationally.

I am thankful for John Cohen. We’ve got a good one captaining the ship, guys.

I been trying

to tell folks on here since 2008 that Cohen was a bad dude.

Folks just wouldn't listen. Some are starting to see the light.

something has to be said for the man's love of school. dropped uk when we needed him, took a paycut to step into a bad situation, and seems to genuinely love the school like we do. on top of that, he is sharp among other things.

I agree with that. Put him at least back where he was when he coached baseball. We should be able to afford it without a blip since I'm sure Moorhead isn't making what Mullen was, or what he would have if he stayed.

It didn't bother me when Stricklin left, but it would bother me if Cohen left.

We've been pocketing $6-8mil/yr after all the bills are paid since Scott became AD here... Should have a tremendous nest egg built up at this point...

and Kentucky was about to offer him a humongous raise that would have been more than what we were paying him
