Heard Ronnie Sanders on Finebaum talking about this.

Jacobs would be retained, Jackson reassigned, and one of the President's candidates is Shawn Watson.

Who is Shawn Watson?

The OC at Louisville.

Alleged top candidates to replace Tim Jackson?

I know you certainly don't mean as head coach.

11-22 in his head coaching experience.....great, sounds like we need just that!

If anyone has a login, can they tell us what is being said over there.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

If this is fucking true I will just give up on football. Everyone currently employed at Auburn University should be fired/tared and feathered.

I actually heard someone mention his name last week, but thought, wtf? and basically Yao faced.

Please tell me this is mistake? Please?

I don't believe it. There's no way he's a "top" candidate.

Well...11-22 is a step up from 5-19

PATIENCE

With JJ, he may be the only candidate.

When you go from head coach to coordinator in the college world, there is usually a reason for that. Auburn certainly can't be stupid enough to go down this road in hindsight of hiring Chizik.

Christ on a cracker.

Someone tell me this is all a bad dream.

The Louisville OC is our target?

AUBURN - Auburn president Jay Gogue has told some members of the Board of Trustees he is making preparations to possibly replace head football coach Gene Chizik, multiple sources confirm.

Gogue also told the trustees to whom he talked that he plans to retain athletics director Jay Jacobs and reassign executive associate athletics director Tim Jackson, who oversees football.

In telephone calls with some members of the Board of Trustees last week and early this week, Gogue said he intends to form a committee to help with the decision and plans to move quickly, ideally naming a new head coach within days after the end of the season should the decision be made that Chizik will not be retained.

Gogue mentioned at least one potential candidate: Louisville offensive coordinator Shawn Watson.

Mike Clardy, director of university communications, said earlier in the week Gogue would not comment on the football program.

"At this time Dr. Gogue does not plan on commenting on the football program any further than he did in the statement released on 10/25," Clardy said in an email.

If Gouge is making these decisions why is it that Jay Jacobs get to retain his job?

If I had to guess, Gouge told Jacobs he could keep his job if Chizik and Jackson were gone.

So he gets rid of Chizik, hires another "stellar" head coach, and reassigns his buddy to some other high paying position that gives him the ability to be a mole around the team.

I really don't believe any of this. I feel like this is another "BVG kicked out Wayne Bolt" story and PM is running too quickly with it.

I just fired off my thoughts on it to Gouge. Simple and to the point. Nip this in the bud people. Nip it. Nip it. Nip it.
