A Message to the Auburn Family about Auburn Football

The Auburn spirit is part of everything we do - in the classroom and beyond. It includes the spirit we show when we support those who represent us on the playing field.

Later today, Auburn students and the local community will gather to cheer on the football team as they practice. I encourage others to follow their example by coming together and getting behind the young men who wear the orange and blue each fall Saturday.

In the past few weeks, many of you have contacted me, and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to share your thoughts about the football program. I know your concerns are sincere and heartfelt, and I share many of them. As we do every year, the football program will be evaluated in an objective, thorough and professional process.

For everything there is a time, and now is the time to support. The young men and women - our students - who make up Auburn University are grateful for the dedication of their extended Auburn Family. So am I.

War Eagle!

Jay Gogue

I wonder if any of the letters go like this.

Dear Dr. Gouge

Please fire Jay Jacobs.

Signed,
Concerned in the Burn.

Says everything and says nothing...or vice versa...whatever.  I was talking with someone yesterday that was saying they need to make a change right now.  Nope, ain't gonna' happen.  And I don't care if they bring in the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi to take over the team.  You don't fire the head coach mid season unless there's something going on well outside wins and losses on the field.  And not a man who did lead us to a MNC.

Now to be fair, I have hollered for the entire staff to be boiled in hot oil, hanged and quartered and then shipped off to Siberia...during just about every game this season.  But all's fair while the game is on.

Agree 100%

But I wouldn't mind if they fired Jacobs now.

Sounds like JG is getting an ear full, and his inbox crammed full too.  He's been hands off on athletics, but people are going over JJ's head now.  JG is smart enough to know his job is contingent on football (revenue) too, and this statement speaks loud and clear.  Sounds to me like they'll wait until the end of the season, which will be in late November, to announce the decision that has already been made.

JMHO, YMMV, but I don't think a statement like this comes from the president unless it means changes are coming.  You get coach speak from the AD and the HC, but not from the president.

Agreed.  Just saying if they canned Chiz in mid season, I'd lose a ton of respect for the people running the show.

Yeah, but if they would've done it at Halftime of the aTm Slaughter, I would've stood up and cheered.

Btw, that's what giving up looks like (aTm 56+).

Also, why the FUCK hasn't Jonathan Wallace played a lot more?

Next week's starter at QB should be Wallace (it'll be interesting to see what the interm coach does).

Amazing what we might learn about our receivers, not named Emory Blake, if we have a QB worth a shit (it looks like Wallace is worth said shit).

And that's why he needs to go immediately.  This is absurd.  And we've had similar questions like this the past four years.

It's not like frazier and Moseley aren't doing enough; they aren't doing anything at all!  Three touchdowns in 174 passing attempts?  And Wallace has two in one game, nine attempts? 

Why not give the kid a vote of confidence?  Why not communicate to your fan base that you have an idea of what to do going forward? 

I don't know what happened to chizik.  I used to like him.  Maybe he's always been this way.  But right now?  He's a cancer.  He's a cancer to the entire program with his nonchalant, smug, political responses to what should be easy questions.
