I think his boogeyman status came from being involved with the tickets and stuff for the AD. Made a lot of folks mad. He was close to JJ too.

Thanks I’ve had a built in negative perception of him and didn’t even know why. So he was probably JJ’s stooge but he may not be that bad of a hire. Am I to believe if he was AD two years ago we definitely would’ve hired Steele or none of this Harsin stuff would’ve ever happened if he did hire Harsin. And would we be more stable?

Jackson would be the ultimate GOB “safe” hire. If memory serves, he’s like JJ in that he’s never had a job outside of Lee County in his life.

If he ends up being the guy, best case scenario is Harsin has a decent enough season to get a gig somewhere back out west to spare us his buyout, and we end up hiring Rodney G as HC. At least Corch and me would be on board with that.

Corch would get rock hard. I didn’t know you would be fine with that as well.

G would be our Ed O w/o the Cajun seasoning. It’s not a bad idea but 0% see that happening.

I think he would be a considerably better choice than Steele, or anyone else from The Fambly the GOBs would consider hiring. Plus the guy’s been a pretty solid coach and recruiter over the years. We could do a lot worse.

Checked Jackson’s bio, he’s been on campus continually since March 1988.

I read that shite too, but I come here to find out who is legit and who isn’t. Just a fortnight ago Jamal posted a recently promoted nobody was an arse kisser that drove Gus’s drunk daughter home and that’s the 411 I am here for.

TJ is deep state Auburn.

He is all Auburn.

Maybe that's what we need.

I didn’t think that was correct about Cecil. That was Rich, right?

Tim was Cam’s jock sniffer during his he is an campaign. He was a fundraiser dude w/ Tigers Unlimited but otherwise just falls up.

People forget that Mal Moore hired Franchione, then pursued Mike Riley (who turned down the gig) before hiring Mike “Its Rolling Baby” Price, then hired Shula, and essentially hired RichRod before Sexton called him up and said WTF ARE YOU DOING DUMBSHIT and they yanked the offer to RR and ended up with the GOAT.

IMHO, Tim Jackson is about as close to a Mal Moore clone as you’re gonna find at AU. Take that FWIW.

Lord I wouldn’t want a Mal Moore type. Mal was a crony like JJ and Tim Jackson.

I want David Benedict from UConn. ????? But not holding my breath

Rich McGlynn was the one that got us out of the Cecil Newton stuff.

Hoke made a post also saying there’s a real chance it’s someone like Rich or Tim Jackson with TJ being the most likely of the two, and if it’s TJ then Rane will likely push hard to circle back and get Steele as HC.

We had one and he just quit. I think our boosters overstep as much as the next person, but the fact of the matter is when you give that much money you have some level of pull.

If it is TJ, it would be for the interim Job. PAM does not thing it would be for the permanent job. I still believe it will be General Burgess for the interim. Burgess has a lot on his plate, but I believe is trusted by all of the BOT.

President Roberts is a smart person with a lot on his plate with three deans and provost to hire. But he knows he will be judged heavily by this decision.
