Cecil Hurt asserts this while writing about the SEC coaching landscape next year.
All are clearly chasing Saban now (unless you buy the Birmingham press and its frantic assertions that Chizik is somehow No. 1-A to Saban’s No. 1 on the basis of recruiting gurus that the same Birmingham press laughed at two years ago.)

Cecil Hurt is a homosexual fuckstick.

And a Gawdawful writer....I'm dumber for having read that mess.

Did Cecil ever pay Ray Keller back that loan money? For him to claim bias anywhere outside of his very own office is laughable. No one else, outside Finebaum and Karle, has been more proven to be in bed with the University of Alabama than Cecil Hurt.

He broke into media making Auburn jokes. That was his forte and what got him elevated to his current position. He's never been a good writer and he's always used his platform to take shots at Auburn. Always.
The fact that he's back to doing it directly is a symbol of his fear. Obviously something Auburn is doing has him worried. I can guarantee you, it won't be long at all before he begins to hint at improprieties at Auburn. That will be followed by another NyTimes piece that he's fed them with a bunch of innuendo and circumstantial evidence.
Don't make me tell the chocolate cake story again.

I was assigned to work the Alabama-Tennessee game one year at Legion Field. It was the year Peyton led the UT band from the field after beating UA so 1995 I guess. The Braves were on the TV in the pressbox.
It was an eventful trip. I got to interview Peyton, who was an incredibly nice kid then. I had two conversations with Finebaum, one where he acted like a normal guy and another where he acted like a complete ass.
And then there was Cecil. He was T'News Sports editor and had not had that position very long I don't think.
Somebody in the pressbox had a birthday that day and there was a giant chocolate cake on a table. Well before halftime, I noticed Cecil sitting at the table with the cake in front of him. He was watching the Braves or something (maybe even a sitcom) on the TV, his back to the field.
He had no plate and was forking bites of the cake directly from the sheet.
As I had zero interest in Alabama football, other than to enjoy the ass beating they were absorbing, I stayed on the upper level keeping a check on the Braves most of the time. As far as I could tell, Cecil never left the chocolate cake except to whiz or shit or whatever he did in the bathroom. Not once did he even glance at the field.
The next day in the T-News, he wrote a lengthy examination of the game. That's stuck with me for years. He didn't pay the least bit of attention to the game at all. His entire focus was on a big ass chocolate sheet cake. And yet he wrote a long piece as if no one in the state were more attuned to the heartbeat of the team than he was. The only thing that chump was in tune with was chocolate.

Isn't Hurt a regular Monday Finebaum guest?
Things are slow so I guess he wants to stir the pot.

Funny. A buddy of mine worked the SEC baseball tourney. My buddy goes to the media room down the first base side patio and he shakes on the bathroom door, but it was locked. He stands there for a few minutes door opens, out walks Cecil. My buddy said Cecil had fogged up the bathroom so bad he had to walk out and find a different pisser. I laugh about that story every time I hear him on finebaum.

I hate being reminded that it's the off season.
