Given what went down, Cohen & Schaefer’s disagreement was inevitable. We don’t have the money to dump into WBB while it continues to lose millions for the university. Tough nature of women’s athletics
she's great. Speaks her mind with a clever wit.
Eventually everyone will realize, nobody likes John Cohen. Polk was right all those years ago.
my wife and i walked from Davis Wade to the Sanderson Center with Coach Polk last year, and i got a chance to ask him some stuff he might not discuss with media. He was open because my uncle is one of his good friends. I told him he was right about Cohen while we were walking. We'd been talking about some things that were relevant to what I said. He had been talking our heads off the whole walk, but when I told him that, he didn't say anything. Just looked ahead with his head slightly down and smiled. Then we changed the subject.
No. He wasn’t. He’s got a lot of faults, but Cohen rebuilt our baseball program from the ashes. Raffo would have been a disaster.
No he wasn’t.
Hiring who Polk wanted to hire would have been terrible for msu baseball.
Nobody said Polk was right about Raffo. Polk was right about the person Cohen is. And Cohen was dysfunctional outside of baseball. And that damn turf he put on the baseball field is trash too. When a guy's coach and employer throw shade at his ***, it's bad.
And he built it even bigger by the hire he made after he left….with the guy that brought us the natty. Made some other good hires and bad ones. Wasn’t perfect of course, but still a Bulldog who advanced MSU athletics much further than many other coaches and administrators in our past.
With the stuff the keenums have posted like that. There must have been some serious **** go down between them before cohen left. Weren't we supposed to get a story about that from someone?
Dr. Keenum was very diplomatic when interviewed about the conversation between him and Cohen about leaving. Obviously his wife has let us know his true feelings. 17 Cohen.
Winning a Championship in a sport 90% of the NCAA don’t even try at was a great accomplishment
And for the record, I was fine with him being the baseball hire. He was a solid coach. Overthought things sometimes, but good.
I was very anti-Cohen but the fan base needs to stop holding Schaefer’s departure against JC. Everything points to Vic being out of line. Cohen had many faults but that situation he handled 100% correctly.
A more accurate description would be that he was dysfunctional outside of actual athletics. Fund raising, NIL, schmoozing, etc. He was aloof and/or an *******, depending on who you ask. But only WBB is in worse shape than when he took over (unavoidable), and many other sports are better.
I often wondered why the folks who had such vitriol towards Cohen the AD didn’t direct their anger towards the ones that made him AD in the first place. Cohen didn’t unilaterally hire himself, and it really wasn’t entirely Keenum’s decision, either.
I was glad he left, I just am shocked with this type of statement coming out, from this direction.
Ah men.
Ah men.
Football isn't better. Baseball is a wait and see now, because the talent from another coach is gone. WBB is a train wreck. Basketball is about the same as Howland just a different version right now. Recruiting will determine that. Outside of baseball one season, nothing to brag about. But baseball was his thing. Cohen alienated a lot of people including some that hired him. I ripped on those when we hired him. It's was a disgusting move by certain people to get what they wanted. He's a turd, they're turds. Both hurt us outside of one baseball season.
I was disappointed but understood when Auburn hired Freeze. I still don't have a clue why they hired Cohen.
Cohen let the greatest womens basketball coach in school history leave. We were on the verge of becoming the next UCONN. Even if we were losing money in womens basketball if we begin winning multiple NC’s we would recuperate that back in enrollment. I miss Vic and I’m glad Cohen has gone to The Barn. I’m grateful for the Keenum family and I truly believe he is the best president in school history.
And what a season it was, a Natty on the record books will be here long after this board is gone.
Cohen’s biggest strength is he’s very smart. His biggest weakness is he always has to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room. And sometimes he does some really stupid things trying to prove that.
Allegedly his daughter was in a relationship with a player while she was an assistant coach. Allegedly. If true, Cohen was right to call him on it. His hire to replace him was a disaster.
No, we weren't. We had an incredibly special group of players that had a great run, but even Vic was starting to lose the next group towards the end. And, again, if the rumors are true, Cohen had no choice.
No it doesn’t. Some bs internet rumors point to that, but that’s not what happened. If there were inappropriate relationships going on, Mrs Keenum wouldn’t have made this comment. Nel and Cohen road Vic so hard on complete bs that he left.
So you just hated Cohen at AD to begin with and have been bitter since 2016 it seems. What a delusional post.
Football isn’t better? Please. We were wrapping up a 5-7 regular season when he took over in 2016. Was a bumpy road to get here, but 9 wins and the Egg is territory we haven’t seen since 2010.
Baseball is “wait and see” now? Idiotic. And Lemonis himself recruited Bednar, who pretty much carried us to that title. Not to mention Yeager and all the other portal guys this year, along with top rated HS kids.
The men’s basketball product is so far ahead of what Howland put on the floor (with Jans trying to make it work with inherited trash), that its not even funny. Saying we are the same as with Howland is borderline troll territory.
Women’s basketball is light years ahead of the past 2 seasons. 15 wins already and middle of the pack in the SEC. Pretty much right where we should be when we don’t have a Vic level coach. But since we aren’t a perreniel Top 5 program, people are going to continue to not give a crap. Oh well.
To be clear, I hated the Cohen to AD move in 2016 because I thought we were messing with good things in both baseball and the Bryan Building. And it was certainly a bumpy ride at times….all the way to the end. He had worn out his welcome with the NIL era moving in. But the athletic department didn’t implode, and baseball actually got better. Before Leach unexpectedly passed, we were looking to be in a really good spot long term in all of the big 4 sports.
Nobody wants to acknowledge that Cohen had multiple flaws and multiple strengths at the same time. We saw both….he wasn’t all good or all bad. He’s where he needs to be now. Time to just let go of the hate.

There’s a reason certain players rumored to have been involved transferred out when they would have been guaranteed a starting spot under NMP. No such thing as a coincidence
Ever considered they didn’t want to play for NMP? Players transfer all the time.
I have tried to tell y’all what went down bout Vic & Cohen and Cohen lying and not being truthful with Keenum. Only a few folks know the real deal and it will piss u if u knew everything. There is a reason Cohen ain’t here anymore… and don’t forget he Voted Ole Miss as the 64th and last team in last year when he could have voted Alabama in… his own ******* hometown. The AD department need’s BLOWING UP All the way to Everyone associated with the Bulldog Club. Entitled lazy and arrogant and expect us to give and literally get nothing back what a **** show.
One more thing… Rhonda Keenum can out drink and out cuss anyone on this board.
