aubiefifty 18,302 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 you still have to wonder how much truth is in some statements about some folks. no one wants to put anything on rane but i remember when he was on the sideline with tubs showing his behind. so i say he interferes when he can. i do not think he is trying to hurt auburn but i guarantee you he has a say so and anyone that does not believe that needs to wake up. and who is it......tj jackson that has been reporting to bosses what he sees happening since dye and not one person has ever claimed that is not true. one person years ago said he was a paid tattletail. so who knows? and if rane is donating millions he deserves to know what is what at least. i felt i needed to throw the last sentence in there as i have no axe to grind with the man because i believe he has done a lot for us.

Tiger 8,855 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 If I'm not mistaken Bates was on the Chizik teams that had Tim Jackson sitting in on defensive meetings so he has seen first hand the meddling that happens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he started to say "throw a 6-yard out on 3rd-and-10" but for some reason didn't complete the thought. I dunno...guessing here.

au302 2,669 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Bates ain't the only former player to call out our boosters. Cubelic did it too back in February. He says an AD gotta make compromises from the beginning with these boosters to avoid future power struggles. His examples... "No booster I cannot allow you to call the plays, but I will get you a headset. It won't have a mic so you can't talk, but you'll hear everything the coaches are saying." "No booster I cannot get you a locker in the players locker room, but I'll have a custom made replica sent to your office so that you can dress up and play the fight song before work" "No booster I cannot have Coach Harsin have Sunday brunch after every game, but I'll make him go to Sunday brunch with you after 3 or so games this year." "No booster I cannot have Coach Harsin send you a goodnight text every night of the week, but I'll have him send one 3 nights a week." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao if these are the things the boosters want it's no wonder we have had long standing issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,985 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 For a guy that seems to apparently control all of Auburn, when was the last time Jimmy Rane actually got what he supposedly wanted? His name has literally become synonymous to the Boogeyman. It's really idiotic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I desperately hope you and Biscuits are right, as you both make our current problems sound very easily solvable.

BHDAU1 240 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The way I see it, the big time boosters have always meddled in the football program at Auburn. I think that goes on at every SEC school though so it's interesting that it is seen as such a problem at Auburn. After attending Auburn and as a life long fan I will say there is no denying that the negative stuff that happens at AU frequently doesn't seem to happen at other schools though. Why that seems to be more of a problem at Auburn I will never understand. There are super rich boosters at every SEC school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
