WarDamnEagle#1 0 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Jay Jacobs: "I believe we should compete for championships in men's basketball. It's time for somebody else to have a turn. We need to find somebody to come in here and take what we have here now and put some more in and compete for SEC titles." http://www.auburntig.../031214aag.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,472 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 To be expected. I hope we're not seeing the next episode of Groundhog Day in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 This just totally caught me by surprise! I can't believe it. Jacobs thinks we should compete for championships. I'm behind you Jay!! Now, go out and get the right person this time. You didn't think I was talking about Barbee being fired that caught me by surprise did you? He quit halfway through the season and I quit watching them play. It just made me sick to watch the chaos. WAR EAGLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Wow. - Said no one I really, really wish him the best. Hope JJ has some help making the right choice for AU's next coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altima 200 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It was coming... but, Jay should've waited until tomorrow. Barbee should've been able to get his team back to campus, and meet with Jay innhis office. They're ripping us on ESPN, and personally, I agree. Letting Barbee go, that's fine... but do it the right way, with class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptau 169 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Barbee gets his money to leave and auburn gets more time to look for a coach. I hope the search committee has already been selected and ready to go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 @JayGTate: Jacobs’ rationale for tonight: Players were leaving for spring break. He wanted them to be able to talk with Barbee before they scattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I could give a damn what ESPN says, but this could've waited til in the morning. Lane Kiffin was fired from SC, at the airport. Now, I can't stand Kiffin, but that was a classless move by SC... He should've been able ride home with his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we can do the creed hugger thing and hire a mid major coach with 2 decent seasons on his resume. It's been so much fun the past two times.
