Fired Tubs after he went 85-40. Tubs brought in a ton of money with good auburn teams. The only way Jacobs has a job is cam newton.

Yep. We tend to be fickle and revise our history around these parts...

Off the top of my head, these are the major things that Jacobs gets blamed for. HOWEVER, he has also received major praise for them as well.

1. Gene Chizik
2. Gus Malzahn
3. Will Muschamp
4. Sunny Golloway
5. The $14m TV

Currently, we selectively forget two great hires, or explain them away as if any old ding dong could have made them happen.

1. Bruce Pearl
2. Clint Myers

I have my own qualms about contract structures and money stuff....but the guy is not a total failure. Also...I still refuse to believe that he unilaterally gets to make any of these decisions.
