Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Jay Jacobs is laughing his butt off and enjoying his million dollar a year retirement. Jay told Gus after the 2016 season to fire his OC and hire a proven OC that would actually have unfettered control of the offense. Gus hired a yes man in Chip. Jacobs wanted badly to fire Gus but Gouge was on his way out and he didn’t want to be bothered with it. So Gus stayed. Then Leath was hired and he didn’t want to be bothered either and eventually forced Jay to retire. Gus and Sexton saw an opportunity with no AD and a president that had no conception of budget control ( see his mansion update cost) and AU with a chance to play in the SECCG and maybe the CFP, so they decided it was the perfect time to screw AU and did so. While JJ isn’t an all up and coming good guy in his own right he knew Gus cared more about himself than the team or AU. Now he can sit and enjoy Leath being fired ( hopefully for cause so he won’t collect a dime and never have another job anywhere close to this one) and Gus’s firing and AU having to pay a dear price for their stupidity.

No argument here but I thought the prevailing word was that Gus wanted the younger Briles and was told no. I’m asking not arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This would make a great book. How’d you get all that info on inside conversations? Because it doesn’t match anything that was reported during those times by respected AU beat writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURealist 2,185 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Briles isn't coming here just to sit in on the final season of the 'Gus Malzahn Project'. He'd be a fool. He's interviewing for the Texas State HC job and will probably get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
