This one is for the players
Always The Last To Know
Good vids, Jay.
I watched this thing again in its entirety. I do not see much that I can call BS on in regards to Jay's posture, his replies, and his general sense of ease while addressing the media.
"Tommy's been thinking about this a long time."
That's fact.
Good to know that much like Lebowski's doctor, Jay Jacobs is very thorough.
Thanks for the vid, Jay.
I think everything was pretty straight forward and no subterfuge.
He seemed to shuffle a little bit on the buyout question.
Hmmm....
Thanks for the video Jay
I didn't detect a shuffle. I dont think JJ is that good of an actor.
I feel the need, the need for speed,,,,,really the need for a campfire.
I'm buying everyone a round of anti-conspiracy juice.
I will counteract your anti-conspiracy juice with a round of I-Know-An-Insider-Who-Knows juice for everyone.
I'm open to a campfire later tonight.
If you're a regular poster and you're not in the Facebook group, you're wasting opportunities.
Clearly you're going to force me to administer a 24 hour, intravenous drip of nothing good can be true, everything bad must be true cocktail.
Jay - Finally you have found Facebook's value relative to the HABOTN.
The i know an insider who knows the real scoop is the best. I think the people who repeat that think they know or think they are trying to get the record straight. But the fact is, unless they were in the room, they are getting fed information that puts the person doing the feeding in the best light.
Yes. I can relay stuff to The Inner Circle.
Question...
Did Chris Todd play for Leach at TT???
That'd be pretty crazy if he made it back to AU to coach him again.
effin a. You bunch of facebookers in your ivory tower. Well screw you guys, me and Jaybar are going out for a drink where more scoop will be shared than you can fit in a Volkswagen beetle.
Michael why do you not get a facebook account. We can send secret messages and stuff
HABOTN + Facebook + HABOTN t-shirt = greatest thing on the planet
(well, you know what i mean, it's ausome!)
great vid. is it just me or does Jacobs look 10 years older overnite? maybe it's just the angle.
yeah michael, doesn't Jan Terri have a facebook account? what gives with you?
I didn't think we needed facebook for secret messages, Crum. What about all the World War II secret phrases we share around here?
my parole officer wont let me on facebook or myspace..
true
I have facebook, but I am friends with supervisors at work on facebook, and I fear one thing leading to another and the discovery that some days I may spend a little more time here on the HABOTN than is approved. How secret it all of it?
hi hotties!!!! ... hope everyone is well ... rumor has it that some of you had an issue with me earlier today ... true?
I want to continue to be part of the facebook ivory tower, but I also desire and value Jaybar's scoop. Hmmmm. Delima there.
somehow CTT leaving reminds me of the soliliqy by Tommie Lee Jones at the end of No Country For Old Men.
What must one do to become a member of this Facebook society?
DougA,
You need to come on my show sometime.
http://www.joebanddenny.com/
Give my producer Dave Jennings an email.
YEAH?
Frankenbummer is right. Jaybar doesn't take very kindly to facebookers.
"If you're a regular poster and you're not in the Facebook group, you're wasting opportunities."
Jay... how can I find the facebook group? how do I get in on this campfire?
who is DougA ?
Doug - It's all in the last thread in black and white. No need to rely on rumor.
have him email me at damos@faulkner.edu ...
I don't know what's going on elsewhere, but me and Janis Joplin are rockin out in the middle of the everglades trying to forget about Jay Jacobs and the turmoil at Auburn.
Just win - Just go to facebook.com and set yourself up an account.
Michael - Set up an account just for HABOTN! Must I always be the one to instruct y'all in the art of sneakatude???
please share it with me in cliff notes form ... getting ready for a basketball game, and was just told by a few folks that I took a beating ... just was curious about it ...
I joined Facebook reluctantly ... but it's been pretty fun.
Well I'm off to a family birthday party. If y'all Campfire before I get back have fun!
What's funny is I already have a fake account I made for an officemate I made up a few years ago. His name is Francis McMoron. He actually ran for president this last year and is somewhat obsessed with whales. Look him up!
It was all fake steve jobs, doug. That guy said something about how he hates charity and this is america, if you want something you have to work for it.
dang. I've never heard of a reporter giving a hoot or show interest in other's opinions. Amos, I don't know what you said or was said about you, but I solute your search for scoop on yourself.
whales? really? i gotz to see this.
Ok, I set up an account, now will someone please let me in?
Doug,
I can't listen to your show because mine begins at roughly the same time. Next time you are in Louisville, come look me and Joe B up. We now have 21 affilites and are more popular than Sonny and Wimp ever where.
Doug, question for you. Who is going to be the next head coach at Faulkner?
Ok -- I requested membership with a new facebook account ---
"Inverness Chris"
so, I get the secret handshake or what?
You need to get Kristina. She is the zookeeper.
Good videos Jay G.
I broke down and did the Facebook thing today. Made me feel old for some reason?
Anyone ever seen that show on cable "Whale Wars?" Its about a group of crazy animal rights activists whose only concern in life is to attck whaling ships in the Pacific Ocean. Pretty crazy stuff.
Was that on IFC?
I have a job interview tomorrow -- Auto biz ain't what it used to be -- anyone have any suggestions?
What to wear.
Say?
Look?
Either go Spud from Trainspotting or Peter from Office Space.
Trainspotting
of course you could go dressed as Col Sanders.
Looks like we have a little football to watch tonight between Louisville and Rutgers. I guess I will watch it until the Office comes on.
What time is the campfire?
showing up naked to an interview always leaves a strong impression, chris.
Trainspotting and a video camera
definitely Trainspotting. If the questions get too personal, you don't have to answer them. I learned that today.
I think its a series on the history channel. Don't quote me in that, though.
or wear what will ferrell had on in that patriotic skit on snl
Juco Lineman Jermaine Johnson out i hear...
Oh and THANKS to those who requested to be in the facebook group and actually sent me a message or e-mail with your HABOTN user name.
Kristina, what gives? u want another HABOTN tee or what? Eddie? McFly? j/k.
Jay, any chance of an early % chance of the most mentioned names of potential HC? Or is it still too early for that? It was really interesting watching how the % changed on CTT being fired during the season. Thanks.
If you are really into percentages, we have 78% humidity where I am at right now.
Yeah Scottie, my husband just got onto me for not calling you today. Curse Tommy Tuberville and his resignation...getting in the way of my HABOTN T.
Will call tomorrow.
I asked this earlier but no one answered so I'll ask again. Does anyone think JJ saying that money will be no object going to hurt Auburn in this search?
No
Probably, because coaches hate money.
JustWin, I think it depends on who it is. Obviously different people will be worth different amounts. I think they meant it from the standpoint of buying someone else out of a contract rather than a base salary number.
BTW, that was comment number 69
thanks Kristina. i was just teasing. it has been a pretty tumultuous 48 hours.
i'm going to compile a 'naughty' list tomorrow of those HOTTIES who requested a shirt but have never paid. please let me know if you have sent your payment in the past few days. christmas is just 21 days away. don't tempt fate. you know what i'm sayin'?
congrats Denny...69. you crazy old hall-of-famer you!
i heard on the radio on the way home that Lane Kiffin is getting around $2 mil from UT FWIW.
The reason I ask is because I think if we may have the man we want but because money is no object he may try to hold us hostage for more ca$h.
First, I would like to complement Jay Jacobs. He had one of the best I don't know what the heck was going on faces I have seen in recent memory. He would make Mike Shula proud.
I also feel a bit different about his after seeing it on video. I tend to believe most of what Jacobs said, which is surprising to me. I do think the the $5.1 Million had a lot more to do with getting a new coach to Auburn than it did as appreciation to Tuberville. I don't think they wanted to fire him.
I know many people seem to have issues with Jacobs, but from what I have seen, he has done a pretty good job, other than how this firing/resignation was handled. I do think they should have had some discussion during the previous off week and made sure the coaches were in house for this.
I must say, this is one of the weirdest firings/resignings that I have seen.
hey Kristina, thanks for adding me to the facebook group. I dont post much but read all of the time (during class). I know its a stretch (and kind of getting back to the "search") but Ive been big on Butch Davis. Does anyone think we have a chance there?
To get Davis, I think we would have to put him in the highest paid coach category. It is possible. I just don't see it as likely.
Jay, any idea on the time of the campfire?
Why not Charlie Strong? It would be a great PR move. It would be good for recruiting. We would know that we'd have a good defense every year. We could spend the 3 or 4 million on the entire staff instead of 1 head coach. Pay Strong 1.5 million and get good OC and DC's for $600k each.
It seems like a no-brainer to me.
Chris,
Here is a great interviewing tip sheet. (It's a pdf download.)
Does anyone think Auburn will try to have a coach in place by the weekend? If we could get the right guy, it would be awesome to introduce him this weekend while all the national media is focused on the SEC. Just my thoughts...
Hey Scottie, I requested but I'm broke until next Friday...I guess I am on the naughty list.
I think it will be a couple weeks or so before we have a new coach
One of the more interesting candidates mentioned by Marshall is Steve Spurrier. At one point I thought the guy was too arogant, but how he straightened out the South Carolina program impressed me.
Somehow I don't see it happening, but it would be very intriguing. If I had to guess, if Spurrier was looking to make a move he would have been a serious contender at Tennessee.
Hey all, crazy day for me. So what is the latest. I'm here for awhile and looking forward to chatting.
Except that nobody is chatting
anyone have a time for campfire?
Watching ESPN ticker run the number of decommits out of Auburn during the Louisville game. Currently showing 5
I'll go to chatroll and see what's up
ouch. I hated losing Montex Robertson, although I am sure Auburn would have run his considerable skills into the ground
Jay will send a message thru facebook when the campfire is up so check there for the time...
he wont name time here. cant get on face book here
Charlie Strong does look interesting...defensive coach but also coached wide receivers for a time. I just think AU is looking for a big name not an up and comer.
Cool. I will check the email.
I agree we want a big name. I just don't see alot of big names out there
Jay, or whom ever,
How do I sign up for Facebook? My wife is on it but I have refused. So, now I am relenting. What do I do to sign up for the facebook group?
Thanks Mr Sense --- my wife is actual an executive recruiter for a company that specializes in Engereering/ project managers.
She sent me much of the same so I could work on my skillz during my workday.
Anyone need to buy a effin car?!
I wouldn't mind Charlie Strong. I think we would get a positive spin on the hire. I think he could recruit Florida well for us. I would like to see Willis retained and work for Strong if he came in. If Strong was hired who would you like for the OC?
So who is the Super Bowl winning coach we are coing after?
McBain, set up an account for yourself. It's very easy and straight forward. Of get your wife to do it for you ;-) Then search for HABOTN and request membership. Send me an e-mail letting me know it's you and then Jay or I will admit you to the group.
Is Chuck Knoll still alive? we should get that guy
Eddie, super bowl winning coach? More info, please.
Michael throwing me under the bus earlier....NICE....
What is it about Kristina and her superiority complex relative to male/female interaction? Arrrggghhhh.
According to wiki, yes Chuck Knoll is still alive and kicking at 76.
wow! he's younger than JoePa
How well does charlie Strong know Offense? The fans need to see some offense and we don't need to repeat CTT's skill set.
Faker, faker, faker...does the phrase quit while you're ahead mean anything to you? I already admitted we were evil, what more do you want from me?
Somebody on the bunker is swearing that Bill Cowher is a legitimate candidate. I find that funny. I don't believe there is anyway he would come to Auburn.
Kristina, how many of the rugular posters live in Auburn
Hoopie,
You ok after yesterday's events?
I was worried about you.
I said before he is way to scary to coach college ball. He even scares me through the tv.
I'm not sure Harrison. I think Montgomery and Auburn make up a big chunk but, Jay, I think can get the actual stats.
Eddie:
No way on Cower...He'll be back in the NFL soon.
What kind of guy is Jimbo Fisher? I assume you were around when he was there...
Or Cowher either.. :-)
Hoopie, Strong's first coaching job was a wide receiver's coach at Southern Illinois during the 80's. But he is mainly a defensive guy.
No big deal. Just wondering. Thought you may know
I imagine Cowher could make some 18-22yr kids wet their pants at halftime.
Somebody is a Charlie Strong fanboy.....errr girl.
If they're not already wet from him yelling and spitting all over them
Cowher makes me wet my pants...and I"m a man!!!
FSJ- FIsher is a good guy, but he was very tough on the QB's. Craig got along well with him, but others didn't, especially Ben Leard. Fisher is the only coach I saw get in a fight wtih a player. It happend at halftime of a game after bowden was let go. Not pretty then.
Wow,
He doesn't come across that way at all in interviews...
Obviously, you can't really tell about a coach until they are on the field.
I know a guy at Alabama that was a trainer when Stallings was there. He has lots of horror stories about him too.
Jay Jacobs is on Tiger Talk right now.
I'm listening. I'll let you know what he said.
cool. i can't hear it.
I've got it. The search firm is the same they used for the baseball coach. He says we have a list.
Baseball search went so well...
No way to know yet if that baseball hire was any good, but i suspect he is going to be a ggod hire
It was nothing if expeditious ...
Ok I will not say anything bad about JJ again...
Only took six months.
already over? Now we all love JJ?
If we have a campfire tonight, can I bring the Natural Light?
in honor of Mon
I wont say anything bad about him personally. I may criticize his work tho...
is JJ's cousin on that search firm or something?
I know this change had to take place & I as for it, I just hope Auburn can find someone like Tubs. Please let me explain what I mean. He was a class guy, he was a great spokesperson for Auburn, he was always very accomodating to the fans, he ran a clean program, etc. I just hope we can find someone that will build something great on that foundation Tub's laid.
Jay, what did he say about the players. I only caught the tail end. Something about the juniors wanting to know what they could do to help recruiting.
Yea -- juniors wanted to help with recruiting.
How about the 30-second wait for the third component of the ideal candidate?
a.) Championships
b.) Stability
c.) ... c.) ... c.) ... c.) ...
Oh yeah. c.) recruiting
has spencer pybus announced whether he was going to transfer or not?
He's been going non-stop for 36 hours. I'm just joshin with him.
Don't boo me for being hateful.
Jacobs knows me.
Jay, do you know the meeting between JJ & the players went?
being mean is good for you sometimes. makes you feel good inside
Jay- Be gentle to Jay, he was on his knees yesterday begging Tubs to stay.
The meeting was fine; went as expected. It was more involved than Tommy's thing yesterday.
I'm just going to bite my tongue on the Spencer Pybus question.
do the players ever interact with JJ? or would they not recognize him if he came in their fron door?
i guess we will all be in suspense about s.pybus
Jay G,
Let it rip, man. C'mon.
By the way, cinnamon.
FSJ...folks think I was a huge CTT supporter and I did want him to stay. My problem with all of this stuff had to do with the negative speculation and that it portrays AU in a negative light.
I'm old fashioned and feel that you should keep your disagreements quiet. For example if you want the coach fired....email the Prez....don't spew out in public. I realize that doesn't fit with the blog world, but I felt it was out of control to the point of being predatory.
On another note: Up until now, I have not been impressed with JJ. Regardless of how this event really went down, JJ, CTT and the PTB have put out a seemingly ironclad scenerio. After giving it some thought, I also think I'm buying it as very close to the truth. I can't think of an alternate scenerio wherein the parties end up being able to amicably agree to this story.
Harrison- I assure you that all players no JJ just as all players knew David Housel in 98 while I was there.
Jay G, Now that CTT has some time on his hands. He should join us for fun on the HABOTN. He could get a cool nickname like Lowder's Whipping Boy or something witty like that. Think of the insight he could offer. Extend a hearty greeting from all of us and invite him to join us. He will soon come to love us one and all.
You forget, but Tommy is all about Brevity (wasn't his comment like, "Why not just Hot Blog?" He would definitely pick Tubs4au or something.
Harrison,
Being mean is good for the soul..
Makes me feel better.
How can Rutgers get a better QB than Auburn. Goodness Gracious Sakes alive, Rutgers has mike teel and Auburn lands a sore armed usta be and signed a 5 star QB from Ark that will never be.
Before everyone get too excited about another lady being around, "Sara" was me accidentally posting with my wife's account.
Did you guys not recognize the biting wit?
That would be good. I am tired of being the only ex coach on the HABOTN. I hope CTT joins up. This is the only site worth his time.
Good thing we didn't ask her about girl kissing and such.
Dang michael..
I was just about to ask for her number.
You obviously have never tried www.hotornot.com, crum.
LOL Denny
I almost posted that too but chickened out
I will ask her about girl kissing if you like, Denny
Denny, denny, denny
Michael, I was just thinking Sara was vying for your spot as funniest hottie. Glad you cleared that up.
Louisville's football program has gone to crap since Petrino bailed out...
I remember that site from like 8 years ago. I just keep it to things like the HABOTN or Losers with Socks. Nice one on that TN blog.
I just noticed I started paranthesis while posting as my wife. I think I will end it now, otherwise the rest of my posts from here to eternity on HABOTN might be considered merely parenthetical.)
No. that would be FSJ that would want to know. Talking about that with hot married chicks is what Fat Albert would say is like a broken air conditioner, UNCOOL.
Signed up for Facebook but when I search for HABOTN, it comes back empty.
Everybody is throwing me under the bust today.
Bus too.
McBain did you put it in all caps?
Course, while we are drinking beer and warming are toes by the campfire, all discussion is OPEN.
hmmm campfire, beer and a day off from work...sounds magical.
Rutgers is blowing Louisville up!
our toes that is
I tell you. Let me give Tom Jurich a call. That Steve Kragthorpe just might be given permission to talk to Auburn if I can work it.
Kristina,
Yes, I put it in all caps.
click on my profile here and send me an e-mail...I'll see what ic an do
did you go to groups. It is different than searching for peeps.
i find the habotn quite easily on facebook
I found it. What do I do now?
Request to be a member
you're in McBain!
Thank you.
Did you guys see the Rutger player tackle the Louisville player by his Dreadlocks? Ouch
