Don’t believe the internet has the power to impact higher-ups in college athletics?
Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs was on Alabama radio staple “Opening Drive”, which is hosted by former Auburn K Al Del Greco and former Crimson Tide QB Jay Barker, on Tuesday morning.
The rumors floating around the internet that he may be stepping down or retiring were something he felt the need to address:
.@jayjacobsauad: I absolutely plan to be back at Auburn. I'm not retiring or stepping down. I have a contract, and I plan to honor it.

He also talked about the need for improvement from the football program:
Jay Jacobs on @openingdrive: "There's no excuse for going 6-6 at Auburn….There needs to be some consistency. … Gus can get that done."

It also appears as though he was also an in-studio guest with former Notre Dame QB Joe Theismann:
