Talk:Jay Jacobs (athletic director)

Chizik

Obvious non-encyclopedic diction at foot here that isn't even referenced. Of course there is no need for reference for the self evident statement of Chizik being white.24.28.15.22 (talk) 03:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I removed the controversial language and attempted to make the article more neutral and encyclopedic in its analysis of the situation, with references. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 07:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Tuberville

Jacobs did not "dismiss" Tuberville. Tuberville "resigned" by all media accounts including his letter of resignation.

http://blog.al.com/kevin-scarbinsky/2008/12/dead_coach_walking_murder_or_s.html

The link above actually doesn't really support Tuberville resigning but has a skeptical tone about that claim. As mentioned in the link above, it is odd that Auburn would pay Tuberville the $5.1million buyout if he was not fired. Tuberville's mother believes her son was fired according to http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/35755349.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUjc8LDyiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU Halconen (talk) 17:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The wording was changed to "forced-resignation" as a happy medium. (and, as my grandma used to say, it has the added benefit of actually being true) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 08:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

No it doesn't. From Tuberville and the University, both sides state voluntary resignation. It doesn't matter what the fans, alumni, his mother, or his grandmother think. Forced resignation should be changed to resignation unless you can "prove" otherwise....204.17.31.126 (talk) 15:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Copyright Again

This material was re-added soon after by the same editor with this edit on 21 April 2011. It was reverted by an IP editor on 31 October 2011‎ but re-added on 9 November 2011 by Ajs0017 (talk · contribs), reverted again, but added again on 3 December 2011 with this edit. I have reverted the offending content, and warned the editor, which unfortunately was not done when the first copyvio under that username occured.

The edits by Abbjsmith (talk · contribs) and Ajs0017 are substantially the same, raising the possibility they are the same editor. - 220 of ^Borg 01:21, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
