Who will be Auburn's next athletic director? The impending departure of Jay Jacobs has Auburn with an opening at athletic director for the first time since 2004. In the wake of numerous scandals, internal investigations, fundraising difficulties and an athletic department in need of an overhaul, Auburn has a chance to make a needed cultural change with its new hire. There does not appear to be a viable internal candidate for the position, though several of the potential candidates do have connections to Auburn. Athletic directors have increasingly shifted towards those with greater business acumen compared to former coaches and most of these these potential candidates have executive experience.

Tubs has been openly pursuing the job for the last couple of months.

Tommy Tuberville, former Auburn coach and ESPN analyst After considering a run for governor, Tuberville instead went into the broadcast booth but would absolutely be interested in the athletic director job. While he's an accomplished coach and revered by Auburn fans, Tuberville's lack of experience in an administrative capacity seemingly makes his candidacy for the position a long shot at best.

I agree with you on that. It could be someone within the department

We Auburn fans have learned nothing about our program.
History shows it will be Tim Jackson.

Why would you hire a CIO as an AD. I work in IT and would never do that.

If the CIO has the right skillset (MBA, experience in finances, contract negotiation, marketing, and/or sports management) it could work.

No issues with Tubs at all. He did a lot of great things at Auburn. But he was let go for a reason and I do not want him to be or AD.
No thank you
