At least Auburn realizes our athletic department hasn't been very good in recent years. That is why you have so many coaches in their first or second year and why so many people wanted to fire Jay Jacobs

People haven't forgotten how basketball has been lacking in recent years, but it isn't like we are just content with it. We went out and paid good money for a coach who most fans and most analysts thought was going to be a home run hire. It hasn't quite worked out that way but after next year, if things aren't showing signs of improvement we will probably be looking for another coach.

What was the fire that got under Jacobs arse? Was it the AU students hanging bed sheets from balconies during Spring Break 2012 calling for his firing that finally got Jay's attention?
