What's Killing Auburn

[Godfather]

I don't think he went rogue at all.  I think he knows his ass is on the line with this hire, and he wanted it "blessed" by two of the three holy trinity of Auburn football, so if it does go south, he can say, "well, Sully and Bo said it was ok, and it didnt turn out ok, please don't fire my ass."

^^^^  Fuckin this.  ^^^^^^^

Maybe that was his motivation, but that still means 3 other Auburn men were involved in giving that blessing.

Is it not also possible that the search committee was mandated by those higher than Jacobs, thereby making the statement that we're not giving him the chance to fuck it up again all by himself?

I don't buy it at all.

And I know that Housel wasn't the reason Tuberville felt like he was hung out to dry in the years after Housel was out.   Jacobs had a chance to unify the family, instead he went Frosty the Snowman in regard to Tuberville. 

I loathe Jay Jacobs.  He makes me physically ill.  I'd probably vote for Hillary over him. 

I don't buy that he got any input from Bo or Sullivan or Cam. He may have said "this is who we are hiring" and asked them not to react negatively.  I've not once seen anyone but Jacobs say in public that they were either involved in or gave their approval to this hire.

Like GF, I would prefer that he not fail.  I hope he gets his shit together.  But I'm truly afraid that the learning curve is going to wash him out before we get to find out.   He's making some predictable (and yet pretty damaging) mistakes in management.

I don't know who you are anymore.

Jacobs got us that big, shiny new scoreboard.  Think of the wall he'd build.

I'll build a wall around Tuscaloosa and make Saban pay for it.

Agree whole heartedly with this.
