I'll gladly eat crow. 

However, I'll NEVER give Jay Jacobs any credit.  This will always be considered a dumbass hire even if Chizik wins 100 games in a row at Auburn.  There was no reason to hire Chizik. 

If I take a shit in my front yard and it makes the grass grow greener, I still took a shit in my front yard.

This thread is funny...

I really wanted Gill. 

[Snaggletiger]

Now, I will officially go on the record and state, that was embarrassing to to read.  I may as well have been the guy at the airport.   


I think the funniest thing though, is that Jen now wants to have his babies....coming out wearing little leather jackets.

Its sad that the PR is more important than the substance of the hire.  That 2 seasons at a shit hole program defines Chizik's 25 year coaching career.  That people that watch football think they know more than those doing it for a living.  Did Jacobs get lu cv ky?  Maybe, or maybe he knew something most others didn't

Your evil twin.

This is a funny thread.  Funny how people's memories warp reality.

So Sani.....those tix in 53 still available?

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. 

The Chin has done all those things, beyond anyone's wildest dreams.  And I prefer my crow bacon wrapped, please, with a nice bottle of Pinot.

But still, in no way do I believe Jay Jacobs was some kind of hiring savant when he hired Chiz.  The whole PR thing of "Just wait - trust me - I promise I did the right thing - you'll see..." was kind of stupid.  It smacks of some sort of superiority complex - kind of like when the Dems say we should just sit back and blindly follow them - they are better stewards of our money and they will take good care of us, now just relax...

No, it did not blow up in Jacob's face - just the opposite.  But I credit that to dumb luck, and a certain JuCo QB, not his mad hiring skillz.

You'll have to ask whoever had them last year.

I'm feeling pretty smug for not having grabbed a pitchfork.

In fact, I believe I wrote a little piece telling everyone that the Chiz was a fine coach and that his stint in Ames was not indicative of his skillz.

Yes, that's an "I told you so".  Suck it, Trebek.

I would like to go on record as stating that 3 days after my post in this thread, I wrote this.

[Snaggletiger]

I would like to go on record as saying when Chizik's name was announced, I asked "What the fuck?" on a daily basis for 2 weeks.  I also kicked the cat and gave up sniffing glue for almost a month.

[AUsweetheart]

Yes, that's an "I told you so".  Suck it, Trebek.

You really know how to make the little people love you.

Yeah, well, fuck them.

Isn't it awful when someone turns on their own kind...

Aight...the buffet of crow is now open.  DIG IN!!!
