I see that more than 75% of my ignored "members" have interjected themselves into this thread. No surprise there.
I completely understand the objections. He was def not my first choice. He has extremely heavy baggage. I dont condone, support, anything he has done in the past. He has failed in many ways. He has an incredible mountain to climb in the PR respect.
If I were the exalted Auburn PTB...I would have gone elsewhere.
But...
They did not. They, in their infinite wisdom, chose Danny Hugh.
Having said that, since I cannot stop their choice... I still wish the best for Auburn University. I want him to succeed. I want our school to succeed. If he wins, we all win. That's what I want. I want his words to be true. I want him to win for himself, and for AU.
If he fails, it will be soon apparent, and the expected consequences will follow.
Until that time, I will support the coach that Gus Malzahn, Caddy Williams, and others we deeply respect have gone ON RECORD that they support.
If they have done so, I can do no less.
