Your Mid-Day Update

Hey everyone. Nothing more to report. I have seen Tuberville since the last time I updated, but he didn't say anything that adds to this situation.

UPDATE (@2:15 p.m.): Tuberville and Jacobs meeting in Tuberville's office right now.

One thing to keep an eye on is how this awkward delay affects recruits. They're antsy. Auburn has taken care to speak with TE Philip Lutzenkirchen, QB Raymond Cotton Jr., LB Eltoro Freeman and TB/WR Onterrio McCalebb in recent days.

It's been hit or miss with the other commitments.

I find that odd.

CovingtonTigerFan said...: If Tubs firing was iminent today, then why would the assistants be heading off on a recruiting trip?

Don't see anything happening today...; 2:58 PM
Denny Crum said...: Will,

If Auburn showed up at a quality outdoor summer league like the Dirt Bowl at Shawnee Park in Louisville, they'd get RUN. Lebo is not the right guy. I just get what he is trying to do with the type of players he recruits.; 2:58 PM
Monica said...: LOL @ Sean - There is certainly something to be said for "ruthless efficiency."; 2:58 PM
Seanzie said...: It's nice to have a second two-pager in an day.; 2:59 PM
Jet said...: Yeah, how did that ruthless efficiency work for us the rest of the year?

I would have likely fired him at the end of the year, but I don't think we got much from booting him then except the BBQ Boys were happy.; 2:59 PM
Monica said...: See what all that caffeine does to you...; 3:00 PM
Seanzie said...: Jet, I wasn't a fan of the decision either. I'm just admiring that process as it compares to the current one of waiting...and waiting...; 3:00 PM
Jet said...: Ruthless efficiency will be Muschamp passing Tommy in the hall on Friday afternoon.

Yeah, Baby!!; 3:01 PM
Harrison said...: denny crum uses fancy wordin'; 3:02 PM
Seanzie said...: I just hope it's this Friday and not a week from Friday.; 3:02 PM
Denny Crum said...: Please quit the Muschamp love. That would be a disaster.; 3:02 PM
Jet said...: Harrison, there's a Blazing Saddles line there, but I can't go there ... I would Banhammered into oblivion.; 3:02 PM
Denny Crum said...: I should have said "Don't get"; 3:03 PM
Seanzie said...: Tubs goes into Jacobs' office with his terms on a piece of paper...and says "hold on one second while I whip this out..."; 3:04 PM
Harrison said...: no one wants that.

Denny: I agree Muschamp would be Orgeron part deux.; 3:04 PM
Jet said...: OK, Denny ... for you, my friend.

Ruthless efficiency would be (INSERT FAVORED NEW COACH"S NAME HERE) passing Tommy in the hall on Friday afternoon.

Yeah, Baby!; 3:04 PM
Denny Crum said...: You all are a dancin' around like some Kansas City ^%&^%^%s was a good line by Slim Pickens; 3:05 PM
Jet said...: Harrison, I beg to differ.

I'd say there's a few who think we need a little Boom Shakalaka in our lives.

I understand your doubts and that of the esteemed Denny ... I just disagree.; 3:05 PM
Denny Crum said...: Here goes Jet

Howard Schellenberger; 3:05 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: come on Jet, tempt fate!; 3:06 PM
Jet said...: Nah, I just mentioned Muschamp, and that gets Jay G's BP up, and he doesn't need any more stress.

Hey, Howard's a dapper dresser and a heck of a coach for someone who's 93.

I love Boom, but there are others on the board I'd take.; 3:07 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: "whooooey! that's enough [bbq] for you guys."; 3:08 PM
FSJ said...: lol at hold on while I whip this out....

LMAO....

I'll try that line sometime.; 3:08 PM
Denny Crum said...: Howard has got great facial hair. He has more passion right now than CTT. Course he may also have a higher proof than that of CTT.; 3:08 PM
Harrison said...: Dabo Swinney jumps around an dyells a lot. do you want him?; 3:09 PM
FSJ said...: Dabo can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag...; 3:09 PM
Jet said...: Jay riding up in the dessert and hits TUBS" TOLL BOOTH.

"What's that #$%^&*@! Tuberville gonna think of next? Somebody's gonna have to go back and get a @#$^load of dimes!"

60 million of 'em.; 3:10 PM
Jet said...: I think I can put Boom's resume up against Dabo's and it's nowhere near close.

Learned under Oliver, Saban, and, yes, Tuberville.

Asst. Head Coach, Defense, Miami Dolphins

Now AHC/DC at Texas, which thought enough of them to name him coach in waiting.

Only other job I saw Dabo mentioned for was South Alabama, and he didn't get it.; 3:12 PM
Quitstina said...: So what's in West Palm Beach? If I'm reading this right (that's a big IF), the AU jet is heading to Mobile and then Palm Springs...; 3:12 PM
KJtiger said...: Recruiting Trip?; 3:14 PM
Jet said...: New Auburn coach Bob Hope; 3:15 PM
Monica said...: Breaking News: Greg is taking Monica to see Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band tomorrow night. wooo hooo

Booty Band; 3:16 PM
Harrison said...: Dabo has won games as a head coach; 3:16 PM
Monica said...: You mean y'all wouldn't be happy with Mike Leach?; 3:16 PM
Harrison said...: Mike Leach would be a fun uncle or something. He really likes pirates; 3:18 PM
Quitstina said...: Yeah it's recruiting , Jay has a new post up.; 3:18 PM
Jet said...: harrison, one of the top 5 programs (probably top 3) in the U.S. has said if Mack Brown drops dead today, Muschamp is their guy.

Dabo Swinney was right place, right time. It's no comparison.

If you don't want Will, that's cool. There are other guys I'd be plenty happy with. But I want a mean dude with an attention to detail.

The sideline deal is a part of the package, but it's only a part of the deal.; 3:23 PM
