Gosh, while the whole thing is a mystery, I would think Auburn people would put on a little better face to the outside, keeping their griping within the family.
I think the race-related allegations are potentially more damaging that a bad hire.
I can tell you from being in the middle of the AU Nation as well as the UA Nation this thing has legs....the media coverage has been crazy....off the charts...and to Toom's point.....those who aren't happy are not even close to holding it in....I've heard of 3 kids that have already pulled out and moved away from AU to other schools because of this.
The fear that Saban has created within the Auburn fan base is almost hard to believe.....we may see some people jumping off buildings.....I think to an extent that many Auburn fans talked so much crap during the 6 year run that they don't know how to deal with the current feeling that Saban now owns them.
This thing has polarized the fan base.....but it's a weird polarization....you have those that hate the hire and are screaming at the tops of their lungs...those on the other side do not love the hire....they have just taken the stance that He's our coach, so I guess I'll support him.......makes the Willie thing pale in comparison.
And Toom's correct.....the race stuff hasn't even started to be what it will become.
