Does Cooper loose his job?

[@youtubetube9723]

I don’t think so

[@kylejohnson5493]

The lighting would be dumb to let him go they need to let Blashill walk and get a new guy for the defense

[@floridahockeynow]

He would have a new job before he left the building

[@jadenwaz9585]

absolutely no way

[@KayBailey-qk5pm]

Did you LOOSE your education?
