In the closing minutes of Saturday’s win over Jacksonville State, the yellow-vested security officers began assembling on the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium. It occurred to me that rather than protecting the field, the officers should have been placed along the perimeters of the upper decks to prevent fans from throwing themselves off the top.
In the aftermath of the “win” I immediately thought of athletic director Jay Jacobs. Here’s a guy that’s invested millions in a coaching staff and facilities and this is what he gets in return. What else can the guy do?
Gus Malzahn can spin it anyway he likes; Saturday was a loss for the Auburn football program.
