When Auburn hired Allen Greene to take over for the outgoing AD Jay Jacobs, he took his time, learning the lay of the land before making any major moves.
On Monday, that all changed, as Greene extended men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl’s contract, and then made some other big changes in the department.
According to a report from AL.com, Greene fired six Auburn staffers on Monday, including Meredith Jenkins, who was involved in the softball scandal last year:
Among those let go were chief communications officer Ward Swift, senior associate athletic directors Bernard Hill and David Mines, senior women’s administrator Meredith Jenkins and chief revenue officer Michael McBride, the source said.
Greene is clearly doing what he can to put his stamp on the Auburn athletics department, and we’ll see if the changes work out over the coming years.
