re: Is everyone overreacting?

You need to go take a look at Jacobs body of work since he has been at Auburn. AU has a losing record in ALL SPORTS against SEC competition over the last 10 years. TEN MOTHER FREAKING YEARS. We have a list of failed and paid off coaches who were bad hires, and various scandals with the NCAA and now FBI. The one constant is Jay Motherfricking Jacobs. I am seeing very little return on investment by the donors and Alumni who contribute to AU. Without the miracle that was Cam Newton, and 2013, we'd be Mississippi State. We need a new Athletic department leader. Then we probably need a new football coach, because I think Gus has run out of ideas. Jacobs does NOT need to be involved in any more coaching hires at Auburn. Ever.
