He handled that situation poorly, for sure but mostly because he was in over his head, rather than of moral failing.

He also hired Tony Barbee because it looked good on paper, despite everybody at UTEP warning us about what kind of person Barbee really is.

And let him coach for what, a couple of seasons without making him sign a contract?

Quite honestly I don't think he will be a negative at UF. But I'm not sure what he has to offer UF, especially since he should be riding off into the sunset with a huge pension.

Does he know any good bagmen that are willing to switch allegiances? He could really help us in that department.

He's going to be UF's Tim Jackson.

If there's a demonstrative example of someone violently raping the Peter Principle with the Good Ole Boy network then Jay Jacobs is the huckleberry.

Never outside of the city limits of Auburn and only the second not with AU, at least in his adult life


But the real question is, when am I going to get the credit i deserve for bringing this to this boards attention?

Trolls aside, Jay is fine, and he'll make a damn good AAD. He's a good moral guy and he's made some really good decisions as well as some decisions he missed on, just like every other human being on the planet. His hiring of Bruce Pearl and Butch Thompson were home runs. The basketball arena is top notch and our teams are competitive throughout the league for the most part...and we're in great shape financially. He did, however, ruin our absolute dynasty in men's and women's swimming.



I can support this. He pissed me off a few times and am I sorry he is out? No but I am not going to take a crap on him either.

BTW, I don't think I have seen this many Florida posters in a while.

Overall, a solid hire. I actually think it's the perfect role for him and Florida gains a ton of experience at that position few schools have.

Jacobs:
-second job ever outside of auburn
- ran off a swim coach that won something like 13 or 14 straight NCs in men's and women's
- hired Jeff Lebo who wasn't a great bball coach and replaced him with Tony's barbee who was a terrible basketball coach and one of the worse human beings to ever step foot on that campus
- fired Tom slater to hire John pawlowski to fire him and hire Sonny Golloway, who was such a bad person that Oklahoma was trying to push him out after he made the World Series.
- has the negotiating prowess of a 3 year old. If a coach wins a game and raises an eyebrow he gets an extension
- oversaw an athletic dept with more underqualified and overtitled people that had no role or no role that was needed, but were there under good ole boy rules. Our AD fired 6 of these this week, and they won't be the last
- was the AD when our softball and women's basketball programs went into some disgusting off field and court stuff, and probably helped cover things up and definitely didn't fire some guilty parties
-oversaw a crooked ticketing dept ultimately

Other than that, he did a good job for us and will probably be fine for you Florida
