Moorhead said it best earlier this summer in that podcast: "I was told just get to a bowl game and beat Ole Miss and I would be Ok."

Pretty evident there are still folks here besides Keenum that still hold that standard, which is a standard of mediocrity.
100%.

Don’t know about Cohen, but when we hired Salmon, we could have had Benko. Don’t know why we went with Salmon. I hear it’s for fund-raising ability, and that’s probably it, but I disagreed with that approach.
What am I missing with Benko? I'm asking that earnestly. I went and looked at his hires and I mean... Clay Helton has had two 6-win seasons in the Sun Belt. This season should end up better since they're 6-3, but I mean... it's not like he's setting the world on fire and is on the short list for a bunch of Power 4 jobs.

It's been 4 years and he hasn't been picked as an AD by any other Power 4 school. He got hired by Auburn, but not as the AD.

He was good here and he’s a fit here. He knows the need for getting a sure thing. He knows coach-hiring and he knows how to leverage program friends for REAL fund-raising - not just fleecing alumni.

He was also instrumental in hiring Leach because again…..we needed a sure thing. He knew Helton would be at worst, decent. Much better than Lenny for sure.

We 17ed up. But maybe we can get him again in a few years. Cohen knows he needs him, that’s why he’s at Auburn.

Sometimes simple is best, rather than rolling dice.

Also, I’m calling out the obvious bait: No MSU fan ever got drunk and posted on the internet. Ever.**********
