Here. JJ embaraased himself at the board meeting last week when discussing the new video board. Could not answer simple questions about plans. . In the past He was protected by MAC and a hands off president. He was told to come prepared with a long term strategy plan for the stadium at the next meeting. Have faith in the new Prez, the new Prez believes in winning. IMHO, JJ will announce his resignation. The Provost did that recently because he did not want to implement the change the new Prez will demand. Lots of changes coming to Auburn.



Good insight, thank you.

I like that it sounds like Leath is raising expectations in terms of what should be expected of the university and athletics. If this means people begin to quit then so be it. We need to get more people into important positions who deserve to be there.

I prefer your account, but sounds a little wishful. From what I understand, JJ's video board was approved without issue and Leath seems largely unconcerned with athletics for the moment.

There are a lot of rumors about JJ departing very, very soon, but that's not a new thing. Anyway, hope your connection is correct.

Yeah, well the scandals of late might be a bigger factor in the resignation than the supposed board meeting failure.

ETA: From what I've heard
