Good luck to Coach Cohu. He did a good job at JC.

Is this a fact or rumor?

Is this a fact or rumor?

Apparently it is a fact according to the Jackson Sun. http://www.jacksonsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...SPORTS/60605001

 

He is taking a track position at Liberty University.

Fact. He's going to Liberty University for a professor-track position in their sports management school. There's a full article on this in today's Sun, but it's not currently available online.

Any word on his replacement?

[Chester Cornhead]

Maybe Robert Akins from Boyd will apply. He just resigned there so he could be looking to move.

how come?

This is just a guess, but maybe he saw what happened to usj when they moved up to 2A and he see's the writing on the wall. USJ was a perennial power in 1A but when they get put in the same region as Huntingdon, Milan, etc. everything changed. Jackson is not a big market like nashville thus less athletes to share or recruit ( however you want to look at it) so you get what we have here, which is the way they want it, so they get it.

Umm, once again USJ being in 2A had nothing to do with them being bad last year. USJ got beat by Fayette Academy and JCS by the same margins as Huntingdon and Milan beat them. Hate to break it to you, but the quality of football is not THAT much better in 2A. Certainly not a reason for someone to quit their job. Get real, man. Cohu finished his doctorate and decided to become a college professor. Do you really think he sat down with his wife and said "we're moving to Virginia so we won't have to play them Bulldogs or Mustangs"?

 

A private school will win 7-2A before the next reclassification. Mark those words, big guy.
