johnnyAU 3,630 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My only request. Could we get someone with prior experience as a qualified AD at a D1 school this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFanAU 586 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I've always thought we could've done better, but regardless he should've stepped down years ago. Its clear the job became too much for him with all these terrible black clouds over several athletic programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this postpones any stadium "plans" JJ was heading up. They were already postponed for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta remember 64 there are some on here that have said they will be mad if we win out and Gus saves his job. Can you imagine that. Being mad if you beat UGA and Alabama. While I agree it was time for JJ to move on, he is an Auburn man through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the evaluation period like for finding another AD and for how long? Gus should not be able to step down also. Fire him! But as long as JJ is still AD he won't be fired...So whatever..smh I hate to break it to you but regardless if JJ were AD or not Gus is safe for now as long as he gets 1 of the last 3 conference games & isn't blown out in the losses.

AidiAU 1,270 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 What if Gus becomes the wizard head coach everyone initially thought now that JJ is gone?! I imagine their strained relationship didn’t help things. And yes, it doesn’t matter the circumstances - always play to win. I get that, but love that sunshine! Haha.

WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Must we always look to someone with Auburn ties? I want the BEST person for the job...Auburn ties or no Auburn ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Bring in the next sacrificial lamb... Granted that the recent string of controversy looks bad, I'm still not in the camp that Jacobs has done anything deserving of his release or resignation. To argue otherwise is to argue based on emotions. That said I believe we are in a unique position that we must make the most of as we look to replace Jacobs.

He should have & would have been the hire in 2004 when we hired Jacobs if Mike Hubbard had not stepped in and essentially blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
