Mark My Words

[Tiger Wench]

I want this on the record, so I will have it this time next year. 

I think this was a coaching hire of monumentally, epically stupid proportions.  Our AD is a moron who could not hire his way out of a wet paper bag.  Our Athletic Department dances to the tune of a rich fuck who could give one rat's ass about what is good for our beloved University. I reserve the right to bitch, moan and complain about this and any other crap moves made by Mr. Jay Incompetence. 

However.

I officially state for the record that I will be more than happy to eat a big huge plate of crow at this time next year if the program shows signs of improvement, not just in wins, but also in recruitment, and if the character aspects of our team remain at the high level that they currently hold. 

Who's with me?

I hope I am proven wrong, but I don't see it happening and I am more concerned over the larger problems that seem to exist with our athletic department.

[Snaggletiger]

But, that's what gets me Sani.  Who is pulling the strings here?  Like a lot of schools, the football program at Auburn is the proverbial goose and golden egg.  It generates mega-kwazillions every year.  Who could have possibly looked at this thing and said, "Yeah, Gene Chizik.  That's what we need." 

Like Jen and just about everyone else, I'm wondering how the hell this will ever work and will happily bake up a healthy serving of crow if it does.  Is it Lowder?  McWhorter?  Jacobs? (Does he even have the power to make this decision?) As Scarbinsky suggests, did Pat Dye have that much influence?

I want to know who in Beelzebub's name said to go with Chizik over all these other seemingly more worthy candidates...and WHY???

This pretty much sums up my feelings as well.  I think this will turn out to be a hire that will put us back on the Barfield Bus.  I hope Chizik can prove me wrong, and if he does, I will happily eat a shit-ton of crow.  Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be buying any of these in the near future:

I hear that. You'd think somewhere along the way someone would say "No, dude, seriously. Let's just hold off til after bowl season if that's the best we can come up with now."

This has taught me that on top of ignorance and foolishness, whoever's in charge of the Athletic Department at Auburn is also an old racist.

Looking at Gill's resume vs. Chizik's there is no possible way to spin one thing in favor of Chizik's over Gill's. One took a decent program and made them decline statistically in every category each year since he's been there including wins, failing to post over three in a season. The other took a program from rock bottom of D1 football and turned them into conference champions in essentially the same amount of time, winning more games each season he's been there. One would have united the fans with excitement and had a clear majority of fan support. Those who didn't have him as their #1 guy could at least see why he would be a good hire and would have gotten behind him. The other guy...you have the pitchforks and torches you see now.

Tell me. WHAT the fuck is Chizik's advantage over Gill? The only thing that could have been perceived as an advantage by the old country bumpkin racist fucks is that his skin is white.

GIVE THAT MAN A DOLLAR

I think this is the #1 question on everyones mind.  

Its kinda like the fat chick you see at the mall wearing the spandex. You wonder WTF shes thinking when she stands in front of the mirrior "God damn I look hot with all my fat folds showing...mmmmm"

[Buzz Killington]

Here's a little snippet from the first meeting between the BOT and Jacobs when considering the hire...

Bobby Lowder:    I wanna put together a team that will help us relocate to Miami.

Jay Jacobs:    What do ya mean? Some of these guys are furniture movers?

Bobby Lowder:    Any ideas?

Jay Jacobs:    On how we can get worse? How about a series of fines for good play? Maybe a thirty-thousand dollar bonus for the guy voted least valuable player?

[Saniflush]

Screw Chizik.  He said "you guys".  That's a Yankee term.  

[Godfather]

There are four in 53 for whomever wants them.

Who's with me?

I will eat whatever if Jay Jabobs is no longer associated with Auburn University in any way, shape or form.  I want him gone at whatever cost.

I hate that motherfucker worse than I ever hated any Alabama fan. 

I started bitching about Jacobs two years ago.  Who heard me? I believe I was told to calm down. Just like I was told to calm down when I went into meltdown mode over Tony Franklin when we won the first game of the season. 

I'm stating for the record that the next person to tell me to calm down can go fuck themselves. 

[points]

agree totally. Jacobs needs running out of town on a rail.

I clicked on permanently bypass.  And I mean it.

Looking at Gill's resume vs. Chizik's there is no possible way to spin one thing in favor of Chizik's over Gill's.

The only thing I can come up with is that Gil showed up to the interview in pink pajamas with purple unicorns on it.

He'd have to have had a dead baby attached to his dick to be a worse choice than Chizik.

[Tiger Wench]

What if Gill said no?  What if Chizok was NOT choice #1?  Any possibility of that?

[Saniflush]

What if Gill said no?  What if Chizok was NOT choice #1?  Any possibility of that?

Possible.  Did everyone including Charlie Manson say no as well though?

[Kaos]

What if Gill said no?  What if Chizok was NOT choice #1?  Any possibility of that?

Based on the comments made by Barkley -- who talked with Gill -- there's no way he would have turned it down. 

And even if Jacobs got down to the end of his idiotic B-Movie list and Chizik was the only name on it, he should have wadded it up, gone back to the drawing board and made another list. 

He didn't HAVE to hire somebody today.  Go back, get more money (it's no object, you know) and start anew with a different set of targets. 

Jacobs looks like the fucking douchebag who takes a big fat, greasy girl to the prom because he's too scared to wait it out and see if some of the other decent looking girls he's asked will say yes.  He takes the first one who agrees to it.  Fucking moron. Fucking MORON.

[Tiger Wench]

I wonder why I never got a response to my email?  Surely Jay the Dickhead would want to clear all this up for us loyal alumni... right?
