There's a pretty decent parity, and they are getting paid more than many HC gigs. <br /><br /><br />Gosh, out of all the coordinators they had to interview this incompetent drama queen? UGH. Tell me what Paul Rhoads had to say, or BoomMF, or Al Borges. He's a bloody emo that doesn't 'fit' and then whines and squeals. He probably cuts himself to get attention too. <br /><br />I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.Aeronauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515775707548079210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-14942136775934975522009-06-06T13:58:08.873-05:002009-06-06T13:58:08.873-05:00Aeronaut, in other words, "Nobody likes me. ...Aeronaut, in other words, "Nobody likes me.

I appreciate what Franklin had to say. I didn't find it vindictive at all and you have to expect the guy to get interviewed. After all, he got a bad and I think undeserved rep at Auburn. He didn't toot his own horn much. He just basically said it wasn't a good atmosphere and I tend to believe him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460464224141986657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-38882537185711779512009-06-06T13:29:39.208-05:002009-06-06T13:29:39.208-05:00John...thanks for the vid.

There is also a nice photo of Jeremy with his Granddad who is a lifelong Auburn fan and who is in currently in the hospital. <br /><br />A quote from Jeff's article:<br /><br />"Richardson also took a visit to Alabama in the spring. Ultimately, he said, it came down to the Tide and Tigers. According to him, there was one difference.<br /><br />"At Alabama, it seemed like they were too much about business," said Richardson. "Some of the players that go there now didn't seem like they were happy. It was like they were there just to do a job. They weren't happy. <br /><br />"At Auburn, it seems like you can go down there, be happy and still work hard, and still be about business."<br /><br />War Eagle, Mr. Richardson and welcome to Auburn where we put the fun in dysfunction!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635006797836859622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-15160904730946850112009-06-06T12:04:06.598-05:002009-06-06T12:04:06.598-05:00hoopie there is great vid of him up on auburntronhoopie there is great vid of him up on auburntronBinOBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396795128121823132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-15731721072298212332009-06-06T11:46:29.121-05:002009-06-06T11:46:29.121-05:00Has anyone seen our new WR play in HS?Has anyone seen our new WR play in HS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-41110022214819883632009-06-06T11:45:19.529-05:002009-06-06T11:45:19.529-05:00Steve...unfortunately there are no indications tha...Steve...unfortunately there are no indications that the PTB have changed.

I only made two friends at Auburn. the world is against me. I think they are religious. They used to pray, that made me constipated.. nobody likes me. I told TT they will fire him when I'm done running the program into ground. waaaaahh nobody talked to me. <br /><br />bloody miserable failure drama queen SOB. Come out of the closet already. <br /><br />He wasn't the first coordinator that came into the system. Paul Rhoads didn't have these malfunctions. <br /><br />-------------<br />How can he blame AD about job security when tub's agent was running around offering his name everywhere, making the entire Auburn fanbase extremely insecure. In 2008 Tubs had one of the most stable jobs out there, with a new contract and a heavy buyout. <br /><br />I was tired of watching the entire Athletics Department being hijacked with the agent's shinanigans.Aeronauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515775707548079210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-35735689132493340842009-06-06T10:33:14.611-05:002009-06-06T10:33:14.611-05:00allow me to make a prediction predicated on the as...allow me to make a prediction predicated on the assumption that gus and the O are very successful over the next 3-4 years:<br /><br />gus will get an HC offer. the fans will want to fire chiz and promote gus to HC so we don't lose him. the administration will do something totally absurd (like actually try to do it) and the turmoil will be greater than ever.<br /><br />i hope i'm wrong, but there seems to be a consistent pattern at AU after coaches have been there 4 years or so whether successful or not. the administration does something stupid.chip chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839073359922644473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-26748979965412648422009-06-06T10:00:45.394-05:002009-06-06T10:00:45.394-05:00I don't know of a single multimillion dollar e...I don't know of a single multimillion dollar enterprise that doesn't have back-biting, jealousy, power plays and the like.
