Without his dedication and leadership, we would never have Bruce Pearl as our head coach and would never have won the SEC Tournament without him

Here's to you Jay

Jay did a good job there. He knew much of the fanbase wanted Pearl and he made it happen. Same for when he went and got Muschamp. Jay wasn’t a horrible AD.

He gave us two solid hires before he left in Bruce and Butch. For that and for getting Auburn Arena built, I will give Jacobs the credit he deserves. But I will still never forgive that unqualified country bumpkin for ruining our swimming & diving program.



So glad to have Allen Greene now. It was awesome seeing him on the court after the game celebrating with Bruce and the team

Name a single SEC team that has had a year in the red in traffic last decade thanks to the AD?


Also Jacobs hired Barbee. Getting Pearl was like Mal Moore getting Saban. Things beyond his control lined up a time the right time.

And a lot of people were ok with this when it happened.

You can’t give him all the credit for hiring Barbee but no credit for hiring Pearl
