I'm not even necessarily calling for Malzahn to be fired. We just have to decide what we're willing to tolerate.
Giant TVs and corporatized tailgating? Obnoxious music blaring from blind-o-vision as opposed to the fantastic Auburn band setting the tone? A head coach who is clearly learning (and fucking up) on the job? A head coach who is now panic-coaching as opposed to actually developing players?
Something has to change and it has to change at the top. Jay Jacobs is a slimy weasel. I knew it from the first time I went to Auburn after he became AD and watched the drastic change in how things were handled than they were under his predecessor. David Housel was gracious, he was friendly, he was approachable, he was good with people. Jacobs is a prima donna assclown whose actual value is a mere fraction of his perceived self-worth. He is, without peer, the biggest assbaby I've ever met who was associated with Auburn. Everything from his $200 gel haircut to his pussy-soft flabby handshake reeks of douchenozzle.
I knew when he ditched the decent meals served in the pressbox and instead had us served fucked up stadium dogs and some stale cookies that he was a dumbass.
He froze Tuberville out by acting like a bitch and failing to support him, sabotaged his assistant coaching hires and eventually ran him out of town. He hired Chizik. He hired Malzahn. Not because they were the best for the job but because he went to church with Chizik and wanted to tweak Tuberville and because Gus was a godly Auburn man. Pfftttt.
One ugly departure and two pretty shitty hires. What coach in his right mind would take a job at Auburn now as long as that fleshy dough fuck is AD? Jacobs has poisoned the position. We used to be a place a coach would want to be. We have money, facilities, dedicated fans, a strong alumni base and all the tools anyone needs to win at a Top 10 level. Now? Every job in the SEC with the exception of Kentucky, Missouri and Vandy are as good or better than ours. If it's down to us and LSU? Us and A&M? Us and Florida? Us and Georgia? Us and Tennessee? We're not getting the guy we want.
Everything Jay Jacobs has done, with the exception of hiring Cliff Meyers and possibly hiring Bruce Pearl, has been detrimental to the program. Baseball is a twat waffle after once being one of the SEC's flagship programs. He destroyed the swimming program by being a jackass toward Marsh. Basketball will always be basketball but maybe it'll be better. I've yet to hear a single Auburn fan express anything but disdain or annoyance at his biggest accomplishment -- a big screen TV. He's shredded the Auburn tailgating experience by selling out sections and pushing the fans back.
Fuck Jay Jacobs. I'd suffer a couple of 3-9 seasons if it would get his podunk ass demoted back to ticket salesman.
