Dye comments on Finebaum

This is too good to avoid.

  • "Nobody had any part in this hiring except Jay (Jacobs)."

  • "The Houston Nutt thing was put out by Jimmy Sexton, his agent."

  • He said someone told him Nutt had been offered $4 million. "That's a lie. I knew (Jacobs) wouldn't touch Nutt with a 10-foot pole. Jay said: `I haven't even thought about (Nutt).' I asked Frank Broyles about it and he said: `That's Jimmy Sexton. He did the same thing when Houston was out here with the Nebraska job. He did the same thing with Tommy last year with Arkansas and Texas A&M.'"

  • Dye said he called former Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum about Tuberville's alleged candidiacy last year: "Tommy's name hadn't even been mentioned out here."

  • On Jimbo Fisher and Will Muschamp: "We ain't talked to them. That's Sexton."

  • On Tony Barnhart reporting that trustees talked with Fisher and Muschamp: "They can talk to him all they want. Jay Jacobs is doing the hiring."

  • "There's a lot of misinformation out there. It gets everybody stirred up."

  • What is Sexton's motive?: "Money. Getting Nutt a raise at Ole Miss. Getting Jimbo a raise at Florida State. Getting Muschamp a raise. Getting Tommy (Tuberville) a raise. Money!"

  • "It's Floirda nation. It's Alabama nation. It's the Auburn family. They're screwing around with our family. The press! They're calling us racists and saying we have a plantation mentality."

  • "I probably would have gone and hired Rodney Garner or Patrick Nix -- two of my former players."

  • "If you're going to coach at Auburn and everything is equal, I think it would be smart to have someone who loves Auburn on your staff. That would be a tremendous advantage. That's Gene Chizik's decision. I haven't recommended one person to him."

  • On Chizik: "He's a polished guy. His players love him. For Carlos Rogers to fly to Atlanta and rent a car and drive to Auburn to be there for his coach -- that shows you."

  • He mistakenly believes Travis Williams appeared at the press conference. It was Antarrious Williams. Totally different guy.

  • "Kurt (Crain) called me this morning and wanted me to recommend him to Gene. I told him: I'm not recommending anyone."

  • Watson Brown as OC?: "That ain't happening."

  • "We really don't need to worry about what's being said on the radio. If they want to listen to you, fine. It doesn't bother me what you say. I know you talk about me when I get off the air ..."

  • He claims to have written the note you read here yesterday (and Tigers Unlimited people read the day before).

  • Chizik: "I like it and I do like it. War eagle."

  • So why write a letter?: He gets up early. "I had a spell come over me while I was riding around on the farm. I felt like I needed to talk to the Auburn people. I didn't know how to do it -- if it should be an editorial. I don't know how you all do this electrical stuff nowadays."

  • Is Harper Lee behind this?: He wants to see her in January. "I've got some unfinished business we need to talk about."

    Ewwwww.

  • On Barkley: "People don't need to get bent out of shape with him. He's an Auburn man. He did not have enough information and he over-reacted. I've done the same thing (in the past). On this issue, he's wrong. He needs to call Jay and talk to him or call Turner Gill and talk to him."

  • On Nebraska's 41-7 win against Auburn in 1982. Gill was Nebraska's quarterback that day: "That was a good, old-fashioned, country ass-whooping."

  • Advice to Paul: "Ease up a little bit. If you get away from Birmingham, come on down to the plantation."

awww Aubie - how sweet of you! ;-)

Blogger mytommyd said...

It's easy to be sweet when you're wearing a poo hat Monica

Blogger Monica said...

Dye got the bammers all whipped up today. Now if he performed like this every time I could support his appearance on Fbaum!

5:15 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Finebaum has linked Jay's commentary to his website homepage...

5:16 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Then let them wear poo hats!

lol

Coach Dye-ism ...

You can only truly get ready to play 2-3 times a year ... so, this was one of his.

But you gotta love him.

5:17 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

You say that now, but you never know. Finebaum is like HABOTN crack...you want to turn away from it, but you can't.

5:17 PM  
Blogger Aubie said...

speaking of poo hats, wifey is calling me for dinner. see you later
(yes the guy with the poo hat has a wife)

5:21 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

No Finebaum is not like crack. At all. Finebaum is like Jagermeister. You try it once. It makes you sick and you know you will never make that mistake again.

5:22 PM  
Blogger mdaniel said...

Guys,
What happened to K-Fed?

5:22 PM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

Kristina, that and people continue to talk about Jagermeister and then you get sick of hearing about it because you remember that time you tried it.

5:23 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

The voice of experience I presume?

5:24 PM  
Blogger weagle251 said...

I don't mind F-bomb too much, but the mouthbreathers that call into his show are unbearable. Entirely too much speculation, innuendo, and outright slander to be even remotely entertaining. I think the only time I've ever laughed at that show was when he'd get Phyllis so fired up, she would yell, "LEAVE 'EM ALONE, PEOPLE!" Lady sounded like she smoked three packs a day.

5:24 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Exactly Sean. Exactly.

Faker, no comment.

5:28 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Coach Chizik spent an hour with the Hoover coaching staff and made a great impression.

5:29 PM  
Blogger mytommyd said...

Sugar Bowl 1988. There were ads for Jager all around the place. Said it was "sooo smoooooth". Somehow i started drinking a good bit of it, didn't get sick, and now am one of the few people (other than my roomate at the time) that actually enjoy the Jager.

5:29 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Coach Dye did a hellova job flippin the dog today. I'm impressed.

5:30 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

I didn't realize we had so many lushes on here..

:-)

5:32 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Hate I missed it, Mon.

Faker, I really miss your old avatar. The new one sucks.

5:33 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Mr Tommy. Well good for you then ;-)

5:34 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

astatguy, both Dye and Barkley have earned respect.

5:36 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

I do think, overall, Dye did a very good job today. Actually, I thought Finebaum was a bit taken aback by how assertive Dye was. Haven't seen Dye that assertive on Finebaum before.

As for Dye's attacks on Bama, I'm not crazy about that, but I understand it. I just think it is time that Auburn doesn't measure itself with respect to what Alabama is doing.

5:39 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

yes, Steve, but nothing unites the troops like a common enemy and there's nothing more common than bama.

hee hee

5:41 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Steve ...

I believe it was Rudyard Kipling who said that if you hit a mule in the nose with a shovel that he might not like you, but he will be aware of your movements thereafter.

Every now and then, it's good to hit Bama with a shovel.

5:43 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Agree, Monica.

5:43 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

I hate that i missed the HABOTN drama yesterday. I stopped by for a second and she was on lock down. Then, i came back later and Jay made it not ever exist. Oh well.

As soon as we quit being the national media whipping boy, i think I will be ok with this hire. According to Auburnsports.com Chizik is definately putting forth the effort on the recruiting trail. If he can pull a few unexpected recruits and assemble a good staff I think he will get the fans behind him.

5:47 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Good grief.. I catch crap from all sides....

5:48 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

that's what happens when you play all sides
;-)

5:49 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Excellent point, Monica.

5:50 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Talking about Jager up above brings me back to my last year at Alabama, 1996.....

A. most. excellent. year.

So many women...So little time.

5:53 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

and you hush Monica...

:-)

5:54 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Monica, I do like your point. Everyone hate on FSJ!!!

5:55 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Hating on him right now, Steve. ;-)

5:57 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

At times, I think there should be a ban on rednecks on the Finebaum show. On the other hand, it would probably be the death of the show.

5:58 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Okay Crap!!! The IQ of the average caller on Finebaum just dropped rapidly. A caller asked if Gill would have been willing to leave Buffalo for Auburn. Someone get the defibrillators and give that lady a shot to the head. Clear!!!

6:00 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

hushing :-)

though it is very difficult

6:00 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

I think some Hotties should call into Finebaum regularly.

I bet Monica could whip him into shape.

Zoo Keeper would probably get all flustered and just sit there.

6:04 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

He's not fun to talk to. He just sits there. I like a little fight in my men.

6:05 PM  
Blogger krewe said...

You have to believe Tubbs ostracized Dye and company for a reason. I have a feeling we will find out why over the next year or so.

6:06 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

New thread up.

6:07 PM  
Blogger Quitstina said...

Yes, faker. That's it exactly. That is why I dont call in. I get flustered. Right.

6:08 PM  
Blogger Guruwill said...

Jay,

Anything on assistant coaches..any names floating around i've heard maybe the WR coach at Troy.
