Butthead 525 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ah what a mess we are in. So who will be the new AD? If the current and future president are are smart (tbd) they would spend the money they just saved on the Coach buyout and go hire a really good one. I don’t dislike our current AD but an experienced one should have headed this mess off before the ish hit the fan. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,235 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Tim Jackson. That's who certain people on the board want... They'll push the new president that direction. They've hated AG from the beginning and basically neutered him. Edited February 12, 2022 by Randman5000 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 You should really ask yourself what your definition of "great" is. Because your definition is probably staunchly different than Auburn's 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTAU 3,355 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Has the current AD been fired? Or is he hooking up with his assistant also? <sarcasm> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucom96 1,640 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) AG is either too weak or too inexperienced to cut it at Auburn. The vetting job on Harsin was pitiful considering what we’re up against in the SEC. The complete lack of leadership or public relations during this past week has been unacceptable. We need a new AD worse than a football coach and that’s saying a lot. Edited February 12, 2022 by aucom96 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,778 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Is there any evidence Greene is leaving or is that just wishful thinking? Edited February 12, 2022 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,528 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Greene’s contract expires in January. I doubt we force him out prior (as if we need any more bad optics) but it’s pretty well known, including to him, he won’t be given an extension. TJ and Rich are the names to watch with TJ being the heir apparent if we go internal. It will be interesting to see how/if Roberts asserts himself here. But first, he’s got two other positions (Provost, Dean of Engineering) to address. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'll be the heretic and say I think Alan Greene is a good AD. ADs during covid everywhere were hamstrung, Auburn athletics since his coming on have been strong and he's an excellent ambassador for Auburn. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I thought it was posted both here and elsewhere that the General was pleasantly surprised to see some good things from AG. That he and Roberts are fans of him. Seems like common sense that he's out with Roberts wanting his own dude, but please no TJ or Rich. Go outside 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizTiger 242 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 What has ADAG not done that he should have done and was allowed to do? What has ADAG done that shouldn't have been done and wasn't previously told/recommended to do by someone above him? If these 2 questions can't be clearly and easily answered without mental contortion, what are we having this discussion for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On question 2, made unilateral 10% cuts in athletic program spending which forced at least a few instances of subpar travel accommodations. Rumor is this was used against us on the recruiting trail. This was done at a time when the AD budget was increasing to record levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizTiger 242 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) The only negative on ADAG's resume IMO is football, and the football program won't thrive until the head coach has autonomy over his program. Sure, let's fire him. And when the next guy is hired, tell him to bring pitchforks for us to inevitably use on him before his contract ink is dry like we've done with the other outside hires...

Imagine the losses without the cuts. LOL, I don't think "we may have a global pandemic that reduces soaring revenue by 20%" was part of the decision space in 2019. We tracked a $30M surplus the two years prior. He is a bean-counter, and fortunately Pres. Gogue saw that and put in some additional oversight via Gen. Burgess. Meanwhile, Director's Cup Standings trend downward (AD JJ was consistent in this regard, but still firmly a Tier 2 type of AD overall): 2010: 26th 2011: 31st 2012: 28 2013: 33 2014: 34 2015: 32 2016: 35 2017: 28 2018: 18 (handoff year between JJ and AG) 2019: 37 2020: N/A 2021: 50 Current: 118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor is this was used against us on the recruiting trail. This was done at a time when the AD budget was increasing to record levels. You seem to forget the President of the University told him to make the cuts. I am sure in the AD's position you would have told the president where to go. AG brought in a new Volleyball coach and we have seen an improvement, He brought in a new swimming coach and we have seen an improvement, he brought in a new Woman's basketball coach and we have seen an improvement, The football only complex was finally approved while he was AD (Credit for that goes to many people). Woman's basketball locker room approval for being upgraded on his watch and I believe I heard a second Practice court solely for the men. As for vetting Harsin he was fighting the people who were pushing Steele which had put the search behind he tried some other coaches first but they were afraid of the PTB and its reputation for interfering as evidences by Jetgate and the Steele push. Arky State AD the other day put to rest the notion they were going to fire him and said they wanted to keep him. It may be true he did not understand what it takes to recruit in the SEC because of where he came from but if you basically said we only hire people who have coached in SEC you lose a lot of possible talent. After what just happened it will be even more difficult for him to recruit because every opposing staff will tell players we are recruiting that he is a lame duck and gone plus if the money men were even partially behind what just happened they might not put up the NIL dollars. We obviously did not have the backing like some programs A&M and Longhorns when it came to NIL and bama has been doing NIL under the table for years as has Georgia.

That's not the only negative, I mean go look at the situation about ADAG and Bruce, Bruce doesn't like him because he tried to take money for the Bball program, there are others you just have to look it up.

eaglenest 332 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 For the people defending AG thank you! for the ones drumming up bogus nonsense kick rocks, it doesn't take captain obvious to see why he is not wanted here.

Why do you think Burgess got involved? Nothing personal but there’s some uninformed posters on this board. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
