For starters, while Sexton certainly had a vested interest in getting Nutt a raise, there are also reports that Jimmy Rayne made the first contact with Nutt. That would certainly shoot down Dye's shooter-from-the-white-picket-fence-on-the grassy-knoll in Tuscaloosa conspiracy theory.<BR/><BR/>2. There are also reports that Gill had already contacted Rodney Garner. Any coach who comes to work for an administration that will not give him free reign over hiring his own assistants isn't worth his salt. Dye defended the notion of insisting the incoming coach mire someone within "the family". Be careful...starting to sound like Bama people.<BR/><BR/>3. Tuberville for Gill was already going to probably be a downgrade. Tuberville for Chizik? Are you kidding me? And Dye wants to paint a lot of the bad press as a Saban-led conspiracy initiated in Tuscaloosa? Alabama staff and fans have absolutely no need to comment on the Auburn coaching-search debacle because Auburn people are eating each other alive.<BR/><BR/>And for what it's worth, Saban very publicly and pointedly defended Tuberville by asking whether or not he himself was 5-7 away from getting fired. <BR/><BR/>Best for Bama fans just to sit back and watch. What happens to Pat Dye's credibility if Chizik falls flat on his face?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-10083264647056409162008-12-18T18:41:00.000-05:002008-12-18T18:41:00.000-05:00In an effort to stave off the poaching of Davis, I...In an effort to stave off the poaching of Davis, I'm thinking that Texas may soon come up with a position of 'assistant coach-in-waiting'...War Eagle Atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670948323649002421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-59363029638348816112008-12-18T16:43:00.000-05:002008-12-18T16:43:00.000-05:00re: JAUDye always uses "we" when talking anything ...re: JAU<BR/><BR/>Dye always uses "we" when talking anything Auburn. The same could probably be said for this situation. The "we" represents Auburn, not the Jays and Dye. <BR/><BR/><I>Again, "how does he know, since it's supposedly entirely up to Jacobs."</I><BR/><BR/>Dye can still be in the know without being involved in the hiring. How would he know if Watson isn't going to be the OC? I'm sure he's at least seen a list of potential candidates. And I'm even more sure that Jay's been giving him updates on the happenings.Joe Blowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890170144104613997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-33411098253783146602008-12-18T15:01:00.000-05:002008-12-18T15:01:00.000-05:00i'm also in the Pat Dye Stay The Hell Away camp. i...i'm also in the Pat Dye Stay The Hell Away camp. i love him for my childhood, but it's not the 80s anymore.JR Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367778966328167533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-23872879628726708152008-12-18T14:53:00.000-05:002008-12-18T14:53:00.000-05:00Pat Dye needs to keep a very healthy distance from...Pat Dye needs to keep a very healthy distance from the AU football program. Offering the "because I loved them and AU" excuse for prohibitted conduct is no solace, since it can be used to justify anything (including a repeat of the Ramsey episode).<BR/><BR/>Dye's comments yesterday (below) about recent events inspire no confidence that he is maintaining that distance (or being kept away any longer). To the contrary, they reflect an unhealthy connection to the Chizik hire, a connection he generally wants to keep quiet (insert infamous "cuz" phrase here), but one he simply can't help himself from revealing (for reasons having entirely to do with his ego). I hope and fervently pray (a) I am wrong and/or (b) this is not a sign of things to come. His day is past and nothing good can come from his continued involvement in AU football.<BR/><BR/>"Nobody had any part in this hiring except Jay (Jacobs)."<BR/>On Jimbo Fisher and Will Muschamp: "We ain't talked to them. That's Sexton."<BR/><BR/>NOTE: "WE ain't talked to them?" Does that collective reference include PD and, if not, how does he know who the Dye-less "we" has excluded from consideration????<BR/><BR/>Watson Brown as OC?: "That ain't happening."<BR/><BR/>NOTE: Again, "how does he know, since it's supposedly entirely up to Jacobs." <BR/><BR/>Either he's delusional and desperately WANTS to be included (for old times sake) or these comments are very revealing and have ominous implications for AU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-85844835250744714452008-12-18T12:58:00.000-05:002008-12-18T12:58:00.000-05:00Bleacher Report is a pool of old man Alabama slime...Bleacher Report is a pool of old man Alabama slime.
