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.
Thanks for the update...
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to lock in the big time guys and possibly pulling away from some of the ones they have lost interest in?
ReplyDeleteWho knows?
This is all a ploy by Auburn to increase hits on Auburn blogs. Genius.
ReplyDeleteOh just get on with it already
ReplyDeleteTrying to check to see if they are sticking with Tubs and crew or sticking with AU. Could get interesting.
ReplyDeleteSounds like they are giving the spread focused recruits the same treatment "some folks" I know used to give the 2AM hotties the next morning.
ReplyDeleteI just looked it up in my German to English dictionary.
ReplyDeleteLutzenkirchen (noun): Trott with hands.
So what are our possible reasons for the delay?
ReplyDelete1. Deciding what coaches to get rid of.
2. Trying to stall until we get a new head coach lined up.
3. No one knows WTH is going on with anything so they are just staring at each other waiting for the other one to speak first.
What am I missing?
Any movie requests for the afternoon?
ReplyDeleteI need some inspiration.
Are you saying Auburn is waking up sober and realizing the speedy WR they thought they went to bed with is actually a 5'7" and nobody else would possibly be interested in?
ReplyDeleteKristina ...
ReplyDeleteit's closest to No. 2.
I vote 2.
ReplyDeleteI'll take what is # 2 for $100 Alex.
ReplyDeleteJay you mentioned that you didn't have a problem with Jacobs except for how he handles PR ...
ReplyDeleteHe's had or been a part of some major PR blunders, and this one is turning into another ...
He seems out of touch with reality on the the comments he's made in regards to our facilities and how issues like the discussions this week effect recruiting ...
Many CEOs have been fired for not being capable of managing expectations and perceptions ...
The Program
ReplyDeleteThat's the ticket
Gotta be 2 at this point
ReplyDeleteI vote for number 2.
ReplyDeleteI vote 4: Jay Jacobs has had a lot of diarrhea and has to keep leaving the meetings just when they are about to figure stuff out.
ReplyDeleteLOL Michael
ReplyDeleteJet- Wall Street "Greed is Good"
ReplyDeleteAgain the big question is, do we trust these people to make the right hire?
ReplyDeleteJay, does Tubs contract keep him from coaching next year, or is it if he takes another job Auburn can recoop some of the 6 million paid out to him?
ReplyDeleteIf he was back, there would some sort of statement. Something like they have agreed in principle to somethings or words to that effect. The telling thing is that the name recruits have gotten love and the others have been hit or miss.
ReplyDeleteJust sitting around staring at each other. kinda like the old blink contest you played as a kid. Whomever blinks first is out.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Blazing Saddles.
ReplyDeleteGov. William JAY Lepetojacobs: "Gentlemen, we have to save our phony-baloney jobs. Harumph!"
Various sycophants: Harumph! Harumph!
Gov. Lepetojacobs: I didn't get a harumph out of that guy.
Attorney General Hedley Jackson: Give the governor a harumph!
Unnamed sycophant: Harumph!
Gov. Lepetojacobs: You watch your @#$!
I'm going on the air momentarily.
ReplyDeleteFour is a good bet. Jay Jacobs looked like he had amoebic dysentary when he saw Jay G last night I am told.
ReplyDeleteAl Del Greco is the same dude that said Saban was taking the West Virginia job last year.
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP DOUG!
ReplyDeleteBlazing Saddles. Maybe they will work up an old #6 on Tubs and gang
ReplyDeleteGet to Jay.
ReplyDeleteAl del Greco couldn't prognosticate his way out of a wet paper bag.
ReplyDeleteThese radio dudes don't realize they are but pawns in the master deception plan.
ReplyDeleteThey'll go a-rompin' and a-stompin'!
ReplyDeleteJet, I think it's high time we start quoting Fight Club. "Tuberville, You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in your buyout. You're not the spread offense you want. You're not the contents of your playbook. You're not your f****** khakis and sweatervest. You're the all-spinning, all-coachspeaking coach of the world."
ReplyDeleteMore like the rail worker telling Cleavon he heard that he was hung and Cleavon saying they was right.
ReplyDeleteWTC - You stole my line! I was imagining a BLINK contest. That's funny.
ReplyDeleteThe roundtable would be so much better if it were more Jay G and less everyone else.
ReplyDeleteKristina, my money is on option #2.
ReplyDeleteAh switched to Blazing Saddles as I was writing up my quote, that's all good.
ReplyDeleteI asked Mongo what was going on, but he said ...
ReplyDelete"Mongo don't know. Mongo only pawn in game of life."
To contribute. "Where all the good offenses at?!"
ReplyDeleteDoug is discussing #2...uh wait, you know what i mean...
ReplyDeleteCan this athletic department do anything right anymore?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that what Doug usually discusses? Just kidding, of course.
ReplyDeleteDid he give you props for coming up with it?
ReplyDeleteHow do you talk to someone for 3 hours. I couldn't talk to my family on Thanksgiving for 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteI hear some banging around. Is there another Franklinesque fight going down?
ReplyDeleteNo, of course not.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tubs, grabbing at Jay G's leg begging him to tell him something.
ReplyDeleteTen-second Ted from 50 First Dates.
ReplyDeleteLMAO Kristina!
ReplyDeleteNice.
Jay Jacobs: Coach, you're fired. Oh, I am sorry, sir; I didn't mean to overstep my bounds. *You* say that.
ReplyDeleteJay Gogue: What?
Jay Jacobs: "Coach, you're fired."
Jay Gogue: He is?
Jay Jacobs: No, *you* say that, President.
Jay Gogue: What?
Jay Jacobs: "Coach, you're fired."
Jay Gogue: He is?
Jay Jacobs: Here, sir; play with this.
I am a lawyer...let me read it
ReplyDeleteI'll go with option 2 also. What is Jay suppose to respond too. If he were going to respond to all the rumors the press release would look like war and peace. NO we are not hiring ______, CTT is still our coach, We are not working a deal with ______. ETC etc....
ReplyDeleteJust fire him and move on.
ReplyDeleteSo is that the deal with Petrino too? If he breaks the contract, he pays and that's that or is it more than that? Let me go call Jere Beasley...
ReplyDeleteGunfire in the athletic complex ... Jay G pinned down in a hallway ... photos to be posted on a blog ... OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.
ReplyDeleteI believe Petrino would owe Arkansas everything he has been paid if he jumps after the 1st year.
ReplyDeleteThe affairs of state are always more important than the affairs of state.
ReplyDeletelol @ "first you have to wash it off"
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been about 24 hours since I last posted. It's good to see that everything is still stuck squarely in neutral. That's just wonderful...
ReplyDeleteJay = A journalist with integrity
ReplyDeleteJay G. ALWAYS gives a shout out to the hotties. Some of us *coughphredcough* could learn a lesson from him.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
ReplyDeleteYou coughing up Phred?
What is Kyles problem
ReplyDeleteWhat is "deathcon 8"?
ReplyDeleteIs it a comic book convention?
RK, they filed a missing report for you over at Auburn Undercover.
ReplyDeleteLOL RK...
ReplyDeleteDeathcon 8
Doesn't bama have a game this weekend?
ReplyDeleteWhy do Bama fans think that coaches are fired solely because of them? Some dude on F-bomb said that Bowden and Fulmer were fired because of Saban.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.aurx.net/aulink.html
ReplyDeletea friend said this was a good Auburn site. Sort of, but no HABOTN, therefore, not good.
They filed a missing report?
ReplyDeletedefcon.. and there is no defcon 8. defcon 1 is the worst, defcon 5 is the best. So basically it is incredibly peaceful to make defcon 8.
ReplyDeleteOf the people who frequent this joint, if you were called into your boss' office and forced to explain your contributions and plans for improvement in the immediate future, how many of you would keep your job?
ReplyDeleteLOL, Michael I was thinking that too. Defcom 12 is utopia...
ReplyDeleteSaban = coach killer
ReplyDeletePart of the process...
And it is all about us. Just ask me.
Saban just put the nail in Bowden and Fulmer's coffin
ReplyDeleteWill - I would.
ReplyDeleteWill- I would be fired instantly
ReplyDeleteThere is a thread in the Dye Hard forum asking where you have been.
ReplyDeleteWill, i would keep my job.
ReplyDeleteWill,
ReplyDeleteI would....
Because I'm good enough,
Smart enough,
And doggonit people like me.
If the discussion were based on productivity since Monday, I would be working at the same place Fulmer and Tommy Bowden are.
ReplyDeleteWill. I think you know my answer to that question.
ReplyDeleteBig Ups to Seeker for being honest.
ReplyDeleteWill speaks the truth
ReplyDeleteI was being honest. The only alternative to me losing my job is divorce so I'm safe ;-)
ReplyDeleteWill - I'm done trying to help you out. You just called me and Kristina a liar. You're dead to me.
ReplyDeleteI would have to explain why I am on this blog all day...it would be my undoing
ReplyDeleteD.E.A.D
ReplyDeleteBarkley,
ReplyDeleteI replied so nobody would think I had died or something.
"If the discussion were based on productivity since Monday, I would be working at the same place Fulmer and Tommy Bowden are."
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us might fall into that same category.
Ouch Will. I don't post here much, but I'm pretty sure making Monica mad is a baaadd idea
ReplyDeletenews FLASH
ReplyDeleteGoldberg reports Tubs and Jacobs are meeting now. woo hoo
when my wife comes home and finds out all I've done is read the AU blogs today, she's going to...
want to know all the juicy details
War Eagle!!
Monica, sensitive much? Never said you were dishonest, just patting Seeker on the back for being honest, never mentioned you nor Kristina.
ReplyDeleteAnd death???? Wow, must've really hit a nerve there!
harrison, you are very perceptive ;-) Making Monica mad=bad
ReplyDeleteWill, just playing with ya, dude.
ReplyDeleteIs Goldberg lurking around the athletic complex with you Jay?
ReplyDeletesimma down, Willie - just jerkin yer chain, big fella
ReplyDeleteI never make Kristina or Monica mad..
ReplyDeleteI like my manhood too much
Yeah, I read that as well Tarheel. I still don't think this meeting will get anything more accomplished than the one yesterday did.
ReplyDeleteI think they are just making side bets on the SEC championship game.
Monica, you're doing what???
ReplyDeleteOk here's my plan. I am taking my 3 kids up to the athletic complex and let them run around screaming and acting crazy until i get some answers. If that doesn't work...it's on the Presidents' mansion...I'll keep you updated
ReplyDeleteI think they are just getting together in Jay's office for a game of Battleship.
ReplyDeleteI'm clever sometimes. I know Will, so it was bittersweet to see him get made fun of, but mostly sweet. No offense buddy.
ReplyDeleteI think this moment calls for a nice hot pot of decaff, hazel nut coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know when this meeting breaks.
ReplyDeleteAt least one assistant was just dispatched on a recruiting trip. They're leaving momentarily.
Auburn still is moving along ...
how come every time JG comes on air i get stuck with a stupid customer who keeps me spinning in circles for 45 minutes? suck.
ReplyDeletesynopsis anyone?
DECAF! DECAF!
ReplyDeleteMonica, Monica! Queen of the Hotties!
No. No. No.
Fake coffee is like ... well, nevermind.
I understand "Atlanta radio" is reporting that assistants have been called in.
ReplyDeleteAgain: Completely false.
Gotcha Kristina, no worries, we are all on the good guys squad in here.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am fully aware of Monica's power, influence, witty banter, and knowledge of all things AU. It it for this reason that I must apologize if my attempt at humor was misunderstood. Noting but love here.
i had one of those Starbucks + Energy drinks after my workout at lunch. boucing off the walls now. i love it.
ReplyDeleteJay, does Tubs contract buyout not allow him to coach next year? If he does get another job can Auburn recoop money from said buyout?
ReplyDeleteI'm about to leave work at 3:30 eastern to go eat dinner with my parents, who have no internet at all. So that sucks that I'll miss out on this until about 7:30 tonight.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this is resolved soon.
Thanks Monica for the reminder that my Georgia Coffee can is empty. Must go to the fridge for another Diet Coke.
ReplyDeleteBrian: Don't link to my "competition" here.
ReplyDeleteIt's unbecoming.
LOL I'm sorry, Jet! I gave up all thing caffeinated AND carbonated in June.
ReplyDeletegood i know i feel better
ReplyDeleteHas Finebaum taken a stance on this issue?
ReplyDeleteMonica is a bully Will. She stronarmed me into deleting a post earlier.
ReplyDeleteFinebaum is pretty much just reporting that people close to Tub say he's upset that he hasn't been told anything and that he's meeting with Jacobs right now.
ReplyDeleteNothing more than what we already know.
Finebaum is sorta in line with you.
ReplyDeleteHe said he didn't see how this most recent meeting could not lead to a resolution.
Finebaum is accurate there.
ReplyDeleteI meant strong armed
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to see Tub leave on a bad note where they just jerk him around like this, but karma is a funny thing.
ReplyDeleteHey Jay, which AU asst coach was dispatched? Which direction did he head?
ReplyDeleteKARMA!! You a Carson Daly fan too?
ReplyDeleteIt's Hugh Nall and ... at least one other coach. They're headed south.
ReplyDeleteRK - You should leave an email or something so the news can track down your cell phone.
ReplyDeleteBully? Harsh. I had no idea y'all thought I was so mean.
Don't any of you forget it! ;-)
Monica = alpha female
ReplyDeleteI bet Finebaum reads your blog...
ReplyDeleteyou sure hugh nall isn't just going to lunch again?
ReplyDeleteHugh Nall has been heading south a lot lately.
ReplyDeletealpha female = redundant
ReplyDeleteDoes Finebaum wear Jay G. underpants?
ReplyDeletesorry man. didn't know you had "competition"
ReplyDeleteJay, did the other coach who went out recruiting with Nall have the initials Butch Davis. Did his name rhyme with Robby Detrino? Maybe Ike-May Each-Lay????
ReplyDeleteDear person who is trying to email me. Yahoo seems to be having a problem right now and I can't get to my mail. I only know you're trying to email me because I have my yahoo messenger on. How about trying it via Facebook?
ReplyDeleteit's me! it's me! i'll try facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteMy yahoo mail is inaccessible also. I bet I have like a hundred of them cause of all the friends that i have and what not
ReplyDeleteI can see why, Harrison. You have a very cool name.
ReplyDeleteI got COFFEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get to my yahoo email either, but it's because of a Spam email thing going around and my company has a block on outside email access right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my parents gave it to me
ReplyDeleteI can check my Yahoo! email. According to BizRate there are some holiday dresses on sale. Score!
ReplyDeleteJay G doesn't have competitors. He has imitators
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else find it interesting that this latest meeting is in Tuberville's, not Jacob's, office? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean the tables have turned??
ReplyDeleteI think CTT thinks he is being played.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if the b-ball game is televised tonight?
ReplyDeleteEasier to walk out of someone else's office, than have them come in to yours.
ReplyDeleteJG- Go get a glass and put your ear up to the door. Get us something concrete.
ReplyDeleteGood point Jet
ReplyDeleteSo I rush home from the doc to find... nothing has changed.
ReplyDeleteSo they are meeting in Tubervilles' office? Am i all caught up?
ReplyDeleteWe will definitely find out tonight if we're any better at b-ball. I think we still stink
ReplyDeleteWell wasn't that sweet of Mandy to call into Finebaum.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice gal.
yes Kristina...
ReplyDeleteIn Tubs office...eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
yep kristina all caught up
ReplyDeleteMy laptop doesn't even like the f-baum. Won't let me listen to him...
ReplyDeleteYum! Think I will join them...
ReplyDeleteHarrison, I would have argued with you a week or so ago, but I think you might be on to something. About b-ball that is.
ReplyDeletetry myfoxfinebaum.com
ReplyDeleteor google WJOX
The second half of the george washington game we looked like a top 25 team. we were fooled i think. Maybe it was the free chic-fil-a or the seats near the tiger pause
ReplyDeleteFbaum WOULD think Mike Leach is a "horrible interview" because Leach is such a brainiac. Hopefully, a Leach would not give Fbaum an interview.
ReplyDeleteIf we're gonna discuss b-ball on here we might as well talk about the ladeeezzzz team because they could probably school the men this year.
ReplyDeleteDewanna Bonner is a straight baller.
LOL at the guy that compared Tubs to Finebaum
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout a Petrino-Finebaum interview? WOW.
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMmmmmmmm Tiger Pause and free Chick-fil-A. I love basketball season.
ReplyDeleteThe basketball games are available online if it's not televised.
ReplyDeleteI think Auburn basketball will challenge for a conference title this year, provided they join the Atlantic Sun or Ohio Valley Conference. I just see a mob of not very knowledgeble mediocre basketball players. It looks like the intramural all-star team.
ReplyDeleteAnd shesaid walks in.
ReplyDeleteHey LP, I had free scholarship tix for the AU/ Oh St game, didn't go. Apparently it was the most exciting b-ball game played in AU in a decade...mens or womens
There's Faker on the Fbaum show. Hear his dogs barking?
ReplyDeleteThere you heard it here first...Dooley is next coach at Auburn
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteBBC radio is reporting this in regards to what is going on at Auburn right now: "John has a long mustache," and "Wounds my heart with dolorous languour," I think all you HOTTIES know what that means.
Just got finished walking the dogs Mon..
ReplyDeleteIt was a short walk
I went to the George Washington game. The second half had me fooled into thinking this might be a pretty good year. Not quite...
ReplyDeletethose halftime competitons are pretty riveting
ReplyDeleteI agree Denny. I think if AU played the rest of their games on a blacktop in a parking lot somewhere, we'd be great. Unfortunately, well coached teams seem to handle us with little effort.
ReplyDeleteThe game tonight is Women's. They're ranked #14 now and actually do have a chance at the SEC title and in the NCAA tournament.
ReplyDeleteWait, what does walking the dogs mean? I thought you were always feeding your dogs.
ReplyDeletePaterno and Bobby Bowden currently flying to Auburn to interview.
ReplyDelete-George
One if for exercise..
ReplyDeleteThe other for nourishment.
Where's JD with his flight tracker?
ReplyDeleteOh no, Denny! Tubs and the offensive assistants are storming the beaches of Mobile?
ReplyDeleteTubs was heard screaming, "This is where we found Sen' Derrick! He was a just a two star! Screw recruiting rankings!! Charge!!!!"
Yeah Will, if there is a chance for me to get up there for a weekend game, let me know. I can't wait to see my girl KeKe Carrier throw down some monster dunks. You think she could execute some oops from Smalley?
ReplyDeleteTubs and coaching staff seen scouting out BBQ joints in south Alabama to purchase once they are looking for jobs this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGeorge - You lost me with the Bowden reference. Here I thought you were really laying it down.
ReplyDeleteGOOD NEWS!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe HABOTN t-shirt has arrived!
It's kind of nice that we stink. Will and I get free scholarship seats and we can hear Lebo yelling fruitlessly at Tay Waller who won't do anything Lebo asks him to.
ReplyDeleteOh i just automatically read that as Bobby Lowder...
ReplyDeleteAnyone have an idea how long this meeting is going to last?
ReplyDeletedays and days, sean
ReplyDeleteApparently forever Sean
ReplyDeleteI think my F5 key is going to break off of my keyboard if this thing goes on much longer.
ReplyDeleteTubs didn't take nearly this long to boot Franklin.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! That tampon joke was obvioulsy made up by a guy who has no clue.
ReplyDeleteTuesday ...
ReplyDeleteJJ: Tommy, we're thinking this over, but right now we're inclined to make a change.
TT: I see ... THEN TO HIMSELF, "i'M IN THE MONEY!"
TODAY.
JJ: "Tommy, good news. We're going to give you another year."
TT: You can't do this. Really, think about what you're doing because I really stink.
One day Franklin was the guy, the next afternoon he wasn't. I miss ruthless efficiency.
ReplyDelete
