He must have really treated people shitty behind the scenes because he was definitely improving the product on the field.

He had to have done something to get fired with fall practice starting soon.

He's a massive douche canoe but he had the program improving.

OU warned us. Undoubtedly he makes Petrino look like a saint in terms of being an all-around shitty human being.

Sonny doesn't have what most would call a sunny disposition.

Auburn apparently considered firing him after his first year for being a total douchebag to players and their families. He was warned to change his behavior, but he apparently refused to change. His own nephew reportedly hated playing for him at Oklahoma.

On another note, he does have two smoking hot daughters.

I'm assuming Auburn is angling for the bulk discount in purchasing coaches.

This has to be some off the field deal to fire a baseball coach this time of the year (unless he punched a player or something during Fall practice).

Butch Thompson - having worked at Auburn previously, he may want nothing to do with the current athletic department administration

I hope that's true. State doesn't need to lose the pitching coach during fall ball.

Only a matter of time before Thompson gets his chance.

So both the HC & one of his assistants were fired wks from fall ball starting? Had to be more than just built up complaints going back a yr or more. AU fans, what was your team supposed to look like this coming season?

I'm guessing the Athletic Coordinator is going to be pissed on Monday when he finds out his subordinates fired the wrong coach.

Not too long ago, many Auburn fans thought they had the top three coaches (in the top three sports) in the SEC.
