Lot of people retire this way with the honorary title and have no power, input, or decision. I hope Auburn is doing this to make it a clean, classy, and respectful break for appearance purposes. If the university burns him on his way out the door it will make getting a quality replacement more difficult. I'm glad we have decided to make a change.

Sad, but true. I think his future much more depends on what happens tomorrow, than the outcome of the GA, and Bama games. Lose to A&M, and he is done. Maybe not this year, but I think it will define his future at Auburn. No way we lose to A&M, and recover to win either of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no particular love for Jay Jacobs or hatred for him either. It seems that some people have a personal grudge against him that must involve more than his job performance to be displaying their level of hatred against him as a person. You're welcome. You've always posted in that manner and because of that you deserve the same. War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURealist 2,185 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Must be nice to have the option of adding a possible 6 months to your tenure by resigning. That gives AU plenty of time to find a new AD. So we might get a new football coach... when? March 2019? Sweet. What's another season of losses to LSU, UGA, uat, in the overall scheme of football things, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,963 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 My greatest fear is that they will hire David Benedict, former COO of Auburn athletic dept, now AD at UConn, who hired Lashlee as a favor to Gus. We need only remember Jacobs' predecessor to realize that it's not always wonderbar to get what we ask for, because then there's the possibility of even worse. Please, not Benedict. Please not anyone from Arky State or with any connection to Malzahn, Dye, Tuberville or Chizik. We need to change the culture in the athletic department. And please not some "up and comer" dude from some FCS school or some minor league FBS school. I got no names, just wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhill 5 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 This is unrelated yet related in some ways. Has anyone heard a rumor to the effect that Bruce Pearl is about to get the axe? I heard that rumor a little while ago and can neither confirm nor deny it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,780 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I don't doubt Jay's love for Auburn and I think he started out with the best of intentions but something got off the track along the way.
