ellitor 33,114 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Do you think with this contract extension and bigger buyout JJ has sealed his fate with Gus and both will be out if Gus doesn't produce? That's a lot of money to just throw away. As long as JJ has Gogue in his corner he is safe for now And as long as student athletes are graduating & the AD is making money overall Gogue is happy regardless of on field performance.

IronMan70 3,277 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 All I have to say is... finally. We needed to do this to combat the talk from our rivals and even though we realize that it's technically meaningless, a high school kid is going to see it as a vote of confidence for the staff and it should help to both alleviate concerns and make them question what they are being told by bama, UGA, etc. yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is doing his freaking job and the sooner AU fans realize that fact the less irritated they will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,663 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Two things we know now: 1- What JJ means by a "long, long time" 2- JJ is not doing this for the recruits....he's doing is for the many "loyal" AU fans who are predicting the demise of Gus before this season even gets under way and to get that off the message board and comments sections of blogs. His message to those loyal fans is....find some other subject to peddle the gloom and doom and let Gus run the football program. I don't think he is doing it for #2. I think he is doing it for stability sake & to show the coaching & recruiting community he's willing to at least try to shake the "Auburn has a quick trigger" label that we have perceptually.I think it's a good move. I have made no bones about it that I'm Mizzou on Gus right now.but there is no question he is a great Xs &Os offensive guy & coach. Let's give him more time & see if he can learn to be a good HC overall. If he does then we will have a real good HC. This is clearly being done for recruiting. Another 2.7m to Gus's contract means nothing to Jay. Gus wins just 7 games this year he is still gone IMO. The timing of this release should tell everyone how Jay feels about this extension. Release the statement when the least blow back will happen. Interesting that 7 wins would get him fired considering our schedule is pretty difficult this season. I was think more along the lines of another 6 win season but if that does happen no way JJ should survive again. We certainly need stability so i'll take a good season at the expense of keeping JJ around for a little while longer. When do we NOT have a difficult schedule? Every year is extremely hard b/c we're in the west and we always play UGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year is extremely hard b/c we're in the west and we always play UGA. Of course i'm aware we have a tough schedule almost every year and we play in the toughest conference and division in CFB. It doesn't help we start the first game with a NC contender. I'm speaking in regards to our team issues of having so many unknowns and esp. at the most important position....QB and add the tough schedule. That's all. I just thinking more along the lines with all of those factors that 7 wins would likely save Gus considering he does have JJ in his corner..that's all.

Certainly makes you go ummm. That's asinine. If the deal was signed in April nobody could have known softball was going to be in the finals. Hell they could have been eliminated in regionals. Was it good timing? Yes. Was it planned? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but most are undertandably ticked off our men's programs are 13th out of 14 in the SEC. They have every right to feel that is completely unacceptable.
