doverstutts 1,643 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 with what I am listening to on Sportscall....I have now words....There is a sportswriter, Mathew Stevens, from the Montgomery Advertiser doing an interview with the guys and he is making so much sense that I am shaking. I don't think there are any podcasts available so I'll try to summerise what he was saying, and since halloween is close, it was a very appropriate interview because its literally scaring the hell out of me. In short: Fans don't matter, not even seasons ticket holders, only very wealthy donors As far as firing Nerdy Ned and hiring a new HC, who is going to do it because even if the idiot AD is fired, it will take several months to hire a new one Jethro Jacobs has a lot of support to remain as AD Anyone who says that they know what Leath is saying, thinking or doing, is lying....He is keeping things close to the vest ( i think he is shell-shocked) Again, former players,alumni, smaller donors,season ticket holders and average fans DO NOT MATTER Stevens expects that Jethro will "probably" (not certainly) be replaced and that Captain Quirk will still be HC at AU next season.... I am going to take this keyboard out of my lap,let the foot rest down on my recliner, crawl underneath my desk , curl up in the fetal position and blow spit bubbles for the rest of my miserable life......Very close to walking away and letting this become a part of my past....I cannot express my feeling right now....Hell, I don't think I have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug3020 842 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Gotta start somewhere. Might as well be axing the AD. The longer that takes, the longer we are stuck running it up the middle every first down. Has a university president hired a head football coach in recent history? If so, where?

penguin149 390 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If this upsets you this bad....you NEED to walk away. Happiness in life should not come from a bunch of 18-22 year old kids that are not your own (biologically). I've cussed, fussed and kicked the dog (not really!) this week but am ready for another game tomorrow night. If we come out and play like we are capable, the sting of last week will be a little less. If we lose? The next week is a bye and we'll have time to rest and recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Be realistic. Gus will lose at least two most likely 3 out the remaining games. He is gone . Jacobs is already gone just a matter of closing the door. Even if Gus would have had a great year there was to much with the scandals to save Jacob. The law firm will come back recommending JJ be gone . Gus going empty just makes it worse. Leath will appoint a committee to hire the coach and the AD. The new AD won’t have a say. And there is no love lost between JJ and Gus. They couldn’t and wouldn’t work another year together anyway. They hate each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Keep Jacobs and your asking for more scandals to hit the Athletic Department and the University. Keep Malzahn and you'll continue to whatch a this high school coach turn out more records between 7-6 and 8-5 during each year that he stays. We'll also continue to be the laughing stock and punching bag for the media to take shots at. Oh yeah, if Auburn ends up at 8-5 after this season, it will mark the 3rd time in 5 years that Gus Malzahn has coached Auburn to another 8-5 record. Who the heck would anyone want to keep this as head coach? Only the powers at be at Auburn. Auburn NEVER EVER wants to championships. Their happy having head coaches that wins 7, 8 or 9 wins a years. Mean while, across the state, Alabama continues to beat our ass and keep winning SEC and national championships EVERY year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kinda' jesting somewhat, but I did have issues this past weekend due to a buildup of anger toward Malzahn that has festered ever since he was hired.

ToomersStreet 795 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I would rather have another year of Gus than another day of Jacobs. Honestly Gus will take care of himself. He gets in his own way and finds a way to lose. Jacobs is doing exactly what I suspected he would, trying to convince anyone that will listen to him that he is still the guy to lead Auburn athletics.

AUApostle 7,648 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 So Matt Stevens is suggesting there is a power vacuum in Auburn?...not true and never will be true.

I'm with you on that.....I'm just so sick of this jackass society inside the AD.....I am so afraid that nothing will get done....I am going to bed hoping Arkansas wins tomorrow.....Pretty sure that won't last past kickoff, but I need to stay pissed off until then,anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep looking closely at your avatar, i do not see a sniper dot. lols. JJ has to look up to his superiors and try to maintain that Gus is the man, keep pulling the line after that contract extension. He's also fighting scandal fires in his office all day. Five dollars says he doesn't know the score from last week. And fans/allums/donors are barely on his map. Of course that's just my opinion. I do believe no matter what happens, JJ will not be the one to fire Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
