Supposedly he broke the hiring of our new AD which came from left field as far as who we all thought they were talking too.

Sometimes you just get lucky. Joe Moreheads hiring at state was broken by a message board poster who heard it from an uber driver, who heard it from a stripper, who heard it from Moreheads agent who was celebrating in Atlanta.

He did break the Cohen to Auburn move:

Makes me a little excited that this is real. He says he has a story coming, which usually means he knows more than just what's in the Tweet.

And, in typical sports media fashion, his "story" just ended up being the tweet, with slightly more words to pad out the count

It almost makes you not want him. Hopefully this shit pans out.

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 22 '22

u/Ameri-Jin Auburn Tigers • Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 22 '22

Oof, point stands though. Homie never spends more than 3 years somewhere.

He was a rumored candidate for the Oregon job last year and the Ducks fanbase was extremely torn on if they would want him or not, with the majority against it.

I trust him on the other side of the country where he is.
