The AD search

[Kaos]

Still going on quietly it appears. 

Apparently the woman who is rumored to have spread her jelly among many in high school has rescinded her interest -- or was told she didn't have a prayer.

Two others (Flint Whitrock and Benedict Denson or some such) are also out. 

Does it even matter?

No, you completely misunderstood. I said I licked the jelly off Tim Cook. Wait. This is PM, right?

I think we're gonna miss Jay when this is over.

I think we're gonna miss Jay when this is over.

I have never hoped that you were more wrong about something.

But seriously, wouldn’t it be just like us?

Who else could ever beat both teams soundly that are playing in the national championship game and yet be sitting at the house? And get beat by ucf to boot?

Go undefeated in the SEC and yet get left out as we’ve also done.

Point is, we are capable of getting rid of Jay and downgrading. This is for certain.

Because I really don’t think he is the worst we could do. He did some really good things. But it’s definitely time to get someone new in there. New blood with adequate  AD experience, a good leader with vision. And few AU connections. This is my wish.

Make it so.

Edit: The new person needs to copy Jay’s attention to game day experience and continue to focus on it. I think he did a really good job with this part. I hate most of the stadium stuff but game day is 🍑y.

I will never miss Jay Jacobs.

[The Six]

No, it doesn't matter. Rinse. Repeat. Wear orange and blue. Fans pay for everything. Sigh.

7 years of coulda, woulda, shoulda may help Auburn's football teams in 2020's.

I'm hearing Jimmy Rane's name thrown out a lot lately on my skreets.

Just found an 8th sign of the apocalypse. I read this all the way through and agreed with it 100% as if I typed it myself, and then looked at the author afterward.

But seriously, the Auburn fan hyperbole that Jacobs was the absolute worst possible AD could very well be tested and disproven with this next hire. Just feels like a very Auburn thing to do.

McKenna-Doyle seemed to tick all the right boxes. Had national prominence. Worked her way to a top ranking position with the NFL. Had a business acumen rather than being just some former player. But best-of-both-worlds in that her placement wouldn't be nepotistic hire who "played for Dye", but at the same time actually did go to Auburn and loves Auburn. Bonus points for having a vagina given the current political climate, especially considering what went down with the softball staff. That aspect would have been seen as Auburn doing something proactive to combat that scandal, and probably would have gotten ESPN off of our nuts a bit.

But somehow we managed to fuck that right up, so we're probably gonna end up hiring Yellawood or some other incestial hire and be worse off than we started. War Eagle anyway.

Let's just put Milty in charge.

I'd like to amend my "I will never miss Jay" response.

I'm hearing today that the usual suspects are pressuring Leath to hire Tim Jackson. 

 

I'm not sure that's something that I can support or live with.  I might turn my back on AU athletics and just support the college as a whole.  I'm a little pissed at the school, too, honestly.  So I don't know.

Tim Jackson would be a punch in the nuts.

I sure hope this is wrong.

Not about you getting punched in the nuts. About Tim Jackson.

I’d seriously have to kneel on that one.

[Buzz Killington]

I wanted to let you guys know first...I am pulling my name from consideration.

I’m not Liking that you’re not going to stay on the running for the AD job.

I’m Liking because I appreciate your letting us know so that I won’t continue to have my hopes up.

I finally realized that I cannot compete with the likes of Tim Jackson.

I thought Jimmy Sexton was choosing our A.D.

Not that I disagree at all but isn't someone "with vagina" in our Athletic Dept at the center of the clusterfuck handling of the softball situation?

I knew Jacobs was a lesbian!

Yeah, but Jay still got blamed for it. I guess it was seen as she was "just following orders" from Jay.

And if we get Tim Jackson, yeah, exactly what I said applies in spades.

Agree on Jackson. Much much worse than Jay. If leath is smart he will know better. There is a reason jay is leaving and hiring jackson just makes jay resigning null and void. Only worse.
