What the heck are we talking about here? SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEBACLE SHOULD BE FIRED. I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE SCORES!!! AUBURN'S LAST TWO CONFERENCE GAMES AT HOME WERE OVER AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER!!!!!!! THE WORST EVER. It is going take years to clean up this mess if someone does not act quickly. There is a BIG difference between a bad season and THE WORST SEASON EVER. Tuberville's last team goes 5-7 and gets blown out by Bama. That is a bad season but yes you can get over that but a team that goes 0-8 and is this bad, that is another story entirely.
I will repeat again what I said last week: "I do not care if Jacobs or anybody else is an "Auburn man" if he is completely failing at his job. At this high level, if you mess up this bad you lose your job, it is as simple as that. It has been one thing after another with Jacobs and his group. It started with running off maybe the greatest college swimming coach ever, it continued through two seasons of continous unprofessional bickering with Tommy Tuberville and has finished us off with this even more unprofessional relationship with his "chosen one" Gene Chizik not to mention many other things (like "associate athletic director in charge of football" Tim Jackson).
There is no point even discussing the merits of Coach Gene Chizik any more. You go 0-8 and get skunked in conference with this team then you lose your job. Again it is as simple as that. You cannot make 3.5 million dollars with the highest paid assistants in the nation (or close to it) and be this bad. Nobody in the country at any BCS school would keep a coach that did that. End of story."
I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL DEFENDING JAY JACOBS. Again this is not just a bad season it is THE WORST EVER. Everyone associated with this debacle needs to be fired. The entire program needs to be disinfected. I am going to PUKE if I hear one more time what "a good man" Jacobs or whoever is. Listen people there are lots of "good men" who are Christian and love Auburn but they are not qualified to be athletic director. You want a job with stability? DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE ATHLETICS THEN. It is a multi-million dollar all-out arms race. Whether that is right or not is IRRELEVENT. That is the way it is.
Anyone who gets involved in big time college athletics should know the score. Is there anyone in leadership at Auburn with any guts and vision whatsoever? Is there anyone or any group willing to do what needs to be done here? I do not care if it is hard to rebuild an athletic department and hire a coach at the same time. Whoever is at the top and right now that appears to be President Jay Gogue needs to do what is best for Auburn. I believe last night made it clear that the best thing for Auburn is to completely clean out the group of people who have brought this debacle about.
I cannot emphasize enough the need for swift and decisive action. I will continue to repeat that this is not just another bad season, this is THE BAD SEASON. As I have said the last few weeks, wrong choices could lead to a prolonged down period for Auburn football. My gosh, we have not been even competitive against anybody good except for a couple of times the last TWO seasons while we have been absolutely run out of the stadium over and over again. The last two games in Jordan Hare have been outright disasters with the bulk of the crowd gone at halftime. THE TEAM HAS COMPLETELY QUIT along with their HIGHLY PAID COACHES.
Oh and by the way I feel like the media is trying to slam our fans because they leave before the game is over. Give me a break, there were plenty of early exits in 1997, 2000 and 2003 in Tuscaloosa so give it a rest. Frankly I think all of the fans deserve awards for even showing up to see an Auburn game this year. What is the point in wasting good money going to see this team? In fact, not going and not spending money is the only way to show the powers-that-be that we will not stand for this and a complete house cleaning is needed.
There is precedent for this at Auburn. Auburn was 0-10 in 1950 and headed toward the abyss till THERE WAS FIRST A CHANGE AT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. Jeff Beard came in and then hired Shug Jordan, arguably Auburn's greatest football coach, and became Auburn's greatest athletic director. The official Auburn web site states: "Garland Washington "Jeff" Beard could generally be considered the father of modern Auburn athletics". THE SAME NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW OR AUBURN IS IN BIG TROUBLE. But of course that would be just par for the course in this season... THE WORST EVER.
