I’m not saying this to pile on Jay Jacobs, but the guy delegated most of his duties as AD.

I agree. Everything bad that has happened is because of Jacobs

Good.

More bureaucracies ought to have the intestinal fortitude to try that instead of remaining perpetual motion job machines.

I seriously doubt that you have what Jacobs duties were and how he handled them.

Please do share with us your direct expertise in this matter so that we may believe as well?

Did some contract work with the AD, so I have an idea. That place was a mess. Who does that start with?

How long of a period?

In the AD offices? Or remote?

Who were your direct reports?

You’re basically asking him to out himself.

As someone who has worked in the AD as well, that’s a good way to get blackballed or fired. They check message boards and don’t like people name dropping.

Anybody tangentially related to the AD knows the place was run incompetently under Jacobs.

We’ve succeeded by throwing around massive amounts of money. I hope the place will be run better going forward.

4 years within the AD. I don’t work for the company anymore. I’m not going into any more detail than that, so I don’t throw them under the bus. It would be really easy to figure out if I gave you anymore.

It’s not like Auburn is some huge place where you won’t ever run into anyone that’s worked closely with them.

Too hardheaded to concede that someone might actually know stuff on here. These old hats have a special place for JJ in their hearts. Kinda like how some of us have a irrational distaste for him

Spill it then. Who are you and what do you do? I’m sure you’ve never anonymously shite talked in your roughly 30k posts.

Yeah, not understanding the shade towards smoke. It's not like smoke is the type to drop names or claim insider knowledge.

I believe smoke myself.

beat has become a very angry old Auburn man...

Hi, my name is Bowl and I've hated Jay Jacobs since 2008.

Why though? You can't even make a compelling argument that JJ was even qualified to be AD of Samford, let alone Auburn.

I didn’t think I said anything that wasn’t already known or that controversial. Oh well
