re: Auburn interviews Charlie Strong

quote:

---

And if that buffoon you've got running your athletic department doesn't learn how to keep his and everyone else's mouth shut, you may miss out on a dozen more before finding another stooge like the one you just fired. The last thing you need is another highly respected candidate angrily denying that an interview ever took place when there was apparently only a phone call to gauge interest. Auburn calls him or his agent to see if he's interested and suddenly they're telling people they've interviewed him. They run a coaching search like a chinese fire drill. Big surprise there.

Jay is not involved in this coaching search, he can mention names all day but he is not part of the selection process in any meaningful way. He nearly lost his job and most donors requested he be fired as well, I wish he had.

Petrino
Fisher
Gus
Smart(name has been mentioned but don't think it is serious)
and a few others as fall back positions as well.
