That hires security on each other.

Auburn football hires security firm to enforce curfews | The Montgomery Advertiser | montgomeryadvertiser.com

AUBURN - The Auburn football program has contracted with a private security firm to help enforce player curfews, an official with the company confirmed to The Advertiser.

Stanley Dallas, the Auburn Regional Manager of the Event Operations Group, confirmed members of his staff are working in conjunction with members of Auburn’s football player development department to “enforce” player curfews throughout the week.

The Event Operations Group, Inc. is a “national full service event management, staffing, and security provider,” according to its website. The firm is used by facilities across the country, including at Auburn and other SEC schools such as Ole Miss and Mississippi State, to staff on-campus events in a variety of capacities including security, parking attendants and stadium ushers.

Curfews are a common practice on the evenings before games but Auburn instituted a nightly curfew, a far more rare practice, and the use of paid personnel from a private security firm to assist in enforcing a curfew may be unprecedented.
William Walley, the EOG District Manager at Ole Miss, said his staff does not perform such responsibilities with the Rebels teams.

Dallas said the operation – which includes members of his staff going to the homes of football players who live off-campus and confirming they are home by the team’s 11 p.m. curfew – began shortly after the arrest of center Reese Dismukes for public intoxication on Aug. 25. Dallas said when the use of his staff for curfew checks began a few players were not pleased and had to be spoken to by members of the Player Development staff.

How many members of the EOG are used in the operation, their works hours, compensation and level of training is unclear. When called by the Advertiser for additional information, Dallas said he would have to check with his corporate office to see what he could disclose.

The decision to use such aggressive tactics sheds light onto the level of trust between Auburn’s coaches and players, stemming back even before a game was played by Auburn (2-7, 0-6 SEC) which is in the midst of its worst football season in 60 years.

Would seem to indicate they've lost the team in a big way.

Could the results from this season be a backlash from the players against this action?

Panic move IMO. After the shootings, Pike getting in trouble, then Reese's ass getting busted the WEEK BEFORE THE OPENER I'm sure CGC finally said enough of this shit. I don't think this was the right answer (I more of a believer of the Red Foreman foot in your ass) but with all the shit CGC has had to deal with off the field, I can see him wanting to keep a tight check on their asses. Old saying, you wanna be treated like an adult, start acting like one.

Have wondered if the report of our two recruiters being pulled from the road might be out of precaution (playing it safe) rather than some impropriety on their part.

Not a knee jerk reaction. Its bad.

I can tell you from a direct source of mine that works closely with this area of the AD that this team has been like this for a while. It's  "out of control" were the words they used. The dismukes, dyer, fab 4 and all the others are not isolated. This team is totally lost and has been for a while. We just had no idea until we started seeing the symptoms in the form of badly played games.

The telling part is this has been in place since August. This team has been a mess all season and now all these stories start coming out as the final pieces of yarn unravel.

Gang, this only happens when the PTB is about to move on a coach. I would have never thought the AD would let Chizik go but I suppose self-preservation trumps all supposed loyalties.

When the NCAA struck down football dorms, it started this type of downward spiral. We didn't have a lot of these issues back in Sewell. Every night the curfew was 11. Except on weekends out of season.

Funny you don't hear about this at Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Florida, Alabama, etc. Oh sure, they have their "incidents" but not this. This is  :facepalm: embarrassing.

Maybe they are making a case for "just cause" dismissal to get out of the $7.5 mil?

I think you may be correct...at least I hope so.  Free up some money for the new AD and HC.

Their police departments are on board. When we got rid of AUPD, it all went downhill. Of course all of this happened on obama's watch. So it could be his fault too.

I didn't think he was hip enough to be on the football team anymore.
