wareagle987 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Lebo will be gone after this season. I'm convinced of that. I just want to caution everyone. Do not expect us to go out and hire a big name coach. No big name coach from another conference similar to the SEC is going to come to Auburn. Forget Mike Anderson. We had a chance to get him and didn't. It's most likely to be either someone else's assistant or a head coach from a lesser conference. I can not believe they would spend $92.5 million on a new areana and then hire a high school coach. I refuse to believe MORONS are running Auburn University.

I agree, although I have no illusions that we would bring in an elite level coach (i.e. Calipari, Pitino, etc.), I think we could still get a very willing and able HC with some name recognition that would bring excitement and a new level of talent to AU. One thing is for certain- Lebo cannot get it done, at least at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagle987 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 We should be able to land someone like Mike Anderson or Drew Scott with this new arena. We should not settle for less because "Auburn aint no basketball school" bull crap. Bring someone in that can coach, recruit and win then the fans will come.

InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I refuse to believe the old excuse AU can never be good at BB because we are a football school. The only part of that statement that would hold true, is if that is how the Athletic Dept. feels and just does not care about BB. The clearest case of a "football school" coming up big in BB is UF. There is no reason why we can not do the same thing. I will watch with interest once this horrible season is over. If Jacobs does nothing to improve out BB coaching, then he is essentially spitting in the face of every AU BB fan, which I consider myself even with the 6 years of hell that Lebo has given us.

SignalMtnTiger 0 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I have all the confidence in Jay Jacobs to make the best decision for AU. He didn't hire the current basketball coach or the last baseball coach. What he has done, is hire a fantastic football coach (and person for that matter), which most people thought was a terrible decision, and he hired a new baseball coach after the baseball program was taking a dive. He is also responsible for building the new arena, which can only help our basketball program. I, for one, am ashamed of Beard-Eaves. When you compare it to all other college basketball arenas it's absolutely terrible (feels like a dungeon). Beyond that, Jay Jacobs has done nothing but improve Auburn Athletics since he has been the AD. I don't understand why there is such a hate for the guy. I believe Jay Jacobs already has the intention to replace Lebo, but he will do it so that it causes the least amount of embarrasement for the University (which is at the end of the season).

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 What are the odds if Jay Jacobs firing Jeff Lebo at years end? does Jacobs have what it takes to fire Lebo and bring in a proven coach? we've seen that Jay doesn't have a good track record for bringing in top coaches.

wrdmegle 0 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 I know I made a lot of enemies with my post on this topic, but I am really just tired of all the excuses for Lebo. Sorry if I offended anyone by posting that, but its tough for me to think that Lebo's only problem is that he's running too clean a program.

alabamapaper 0 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I am one of the biggest Auburn fans there is. If Auburn wants to fill the stands, the program has to at least be competitive. Going to an Auburn basketball game right now is like going over to your best friends house to see them come to harm. Alabama is a football state. Fans are not going to come to Auburn to see other universities great teams. If we fans are going to come, it is to see Auburn do well. I can't even watch an entire game that we win right now. It is so frustrating to see poorly played basketball at Auburn. I can see where we might have inferior talent some times. Even then we should be playing fundamentally sound basketball. Where is our low post offense? We might be over manned under the board, but we still have got to try. This pathetic form of basketball has frustrated me to no end.

dancedr1345162814 0 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Cliff Ellis???? Really??? Program was so out of sorts... Very few went to class... Lots of behind closed door dealings....and our recruiting is still hampered by their(Ellis') dealings with that AAU coach. I am not taking up for Lebo, because this team and several of his other teams have frustrated me to no end! I enjoyed last years tema tough defense and guys working their tails off. But every missed free throw or wild errant pass is like pouring acid on an open wound. There definitely needs to be some kind of change. I remember running a more complicated half court offense in Junior HIGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
