Point is Gus has already provided you with a look at what you get with him. Someone mentioned th other day saying KS and NS’s records their first two years were comparable and they are but the truth is that Gus’s good year came the first year and has been downhill since. If I saw any improvement then I could have some hope. Problem is there has been none. With very little work by any coach AU can pull a top ten class because of who we are. TT didn’t because him and his gang refused to put any effort in it.i mean if your happy never competing for anything then Gus is your guy, but Gus is never going to win anything else because he is going backwards. Smart has it going so far but man he has had a cakewalk all his East rivals are terrible UT, UF, UK, Vandy...his only SEC competition will be Auburn until title game...Maybe USCe will give him a real game in the East. I would say Auburn will be both Alabama and Georgia’s toughest opponent in 2017 (at least in paper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetTiger 1,899 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Funny i remember someone a few years ago wanting Jurich from Louisville as AD...at that time it looked like a brilliant potential hire...all the major programs at Louisville were competing at a high level. Come to find out he was crooked as a roach leg.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Logic tells me that AU already has struck a deal for the new AD, but that person does not want it announced until after the regular season of football is over. That is why JJ continues to hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you did. Because we would be undefeated if it was not for gus ineptitude. It would cost us a national title potentially because I see no way a 2 loss team makes it in to the playoffs.

aubie57 119 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Does anybody know how long JJ has before he can “retire” from state employment? I am assuming that he is technically a state employee. In conversation today, I was told that CPD made a comment that JJ would be the AD through December. The reasoning was that come December he could draw his retirement. It does kind of make sense, JJ has been around a long time, I suppose it would be a way to let him go with out actually firing him. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is what it is. If Gus were fired mid-season I could see how it could be a distraction for the football team. I don't think firing JJ today, tomorrow or last month would be a distraction. Actually firing JJ back in September or August would have been great. Firing him sooner rather than later is what is best for AU. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Agree that firing JJ will have no effect one way or the other on the rest of our football season....but not sure what the rush is unless someone who is a prospective AD might get away. It's pretty possible to fire and hire an AD about anytime of the year if conditions are right....and by being right...I'm talking about having his replacement about 90% locked up. Otherwise, having an opening at the top (without a solid interim) does nothing good for the school.....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Why would JJ firing have any affect on football? JJ is over all sports. You would never find a time of the year that the AD didn't have a sport going on. I mean basketball starts in just a few days. Fire him now. Fire him in a month. It is not going to affect the sports programs other than make some happy that have Title IX issues against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
