So the saga gets sordid.

A player who wasn't good enough to play is cut.  She unleashes hell. A letter to the governor?  Really?

Things to say directly:

1) if Corey was sleeping with players or actually harassing them? He should have been gone. What today passes for "harassment" is, however, asinine. One player claiming she was slapped on the butt after a good play? I'm sorry. There's nothing sexual about that.

2) If Clint was made aware of his son sleeping with a player and tried to cover for him?  He needed to go.  In his defense his son probably lied to him.  He didn't want to believe.  But still. Never a good idea to have kids work for you.

3) If Meredith Jenkins told the players to delete evidence? She's gonna feel the axe. I don't believe it.  I've dealt with Meredith for more than 20 years.  I just don't buy their version.

4) The crucifixion is gauche.  I can guarantee you that every one of those girls joked and played along. In all likelihood Corey had a general idea he was crossing lines but their responses gave him every reason to believe it was cool.  Only AFTER the fact do they come out with knives and the "oh he was a creep anyway" stuff.  It's a variation of the "we didn't want him anyway" reaction.

5) How completely "us" if the thing that gets rid of Jay Jacobs is a freaking softball sex scandal.

I read the story yesterday and came away with basically the same opinion as you.

With the benefit of hindsight, smacking a female player's ass was probably a bad idea but I can also see how in the context of a coach-player scenario him not even thinking about it. If it were a dude baseball player it would not be thought twice about and would never have come up as a thing.

As for what apparently actually did him in, it sounds like he was consensually fucking one of the few straight players on the team and the rest of the girls were hatin'. This is a wildly unpopular take, but it's what the facts lead to. I can't for the life of me understand how they are so outraged at their fellow teammate for gettin' some dick.

Quote
It was an act that set the stage for all that was to follow: an emotionally charged postgame confrontation between Fagan and Florida coach Tim Walton, who unwittingly stepped into the Auburn storm; the three-hour March 30 "quarantine" described in Greenberg's letter; the resignation of Corey Myers; and, perhaps most remarkably, the refusal of several members of the team, including Fagan and 2016 All-American Kasey Cooper, to board the bus to Athens in the company of the player who allegedly exchanged text messages with Corey Myers.

"We said that if she gets on, we're staying off," Fagan said. "It was a team decision."

And yeah, I don't know if it's criminal to confiscate someone's cell phone and take pictures of their texts, but it sure as shit is a blatant invasion of privacy and immoral.

Which is about the level of offense I'm willing to assign to Corey Meyers at this point. Apparently, he's married with three kids. So fucking the twenty-something-year-old player you coach is immoral, sure. It's Bobby Petrino on a motorcycle level immoral. Is it illegal? Is it even firable? I don't see how it is. I genuinely don't know the answer to this, but does Title IX bar male teachers and coaches from having consensual relationships with female students/players? I genuinely don't know, but if so I disagree that it should be. Consenting adults can do whatever they damn well please. That said, was it smart on Corey's part? Of course fucking not. Whether it's jealousy over the relationship or the impression that you're showing favortism as a result of said relationship, it's certainly not good for team chemistry, as was clearly demonstrated with this bus debacle.

Anyway, everyone's quick to throw everyone at Auburn under the bus like we were facilitating rape or something, but I have a hard time equating this to a Baylor situation or a Penn State situation or anything close.

Ehhhh even that said - and I agree with you - it doesn't take away the fact that Clint tended to turn a blind eye and defend things that he maybe shouldn't have. It's not just godawful penn state terrible. But there isn't total innocence here either. Like most things these days, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

al.com is gnawing on this story like a starving rat.  Not sure what they hope to accomplish. 

I watched their interview with the girl who started it all. 

My opinion of this entire situation has changed somewhat.  She's a triggered little puffball, pissed off because she wasn't good enough to make the team and got cut.

Her angle here is a free ride.  She wants back on the team, but not under the coach who didn't want her. 

Regardless how this turns out in regard to Meyers, Jacobs, Jenkins and all I hope we don't let this cancerous distraction come back.

Can you imagine AL.com facilitating this highly produced interview for a Bama softball player making these same claims? She'd be rolled up in a Persian rug and thrown off a bridge into the Alabama River before anyone in Tuscaloosa OR AL.com allowed this to happen.

My opinion has remained the same from the first details I heard. Bitches be hatin'.

Seems like at least half the team are calling bullshit.

This story is just so fucking stupid to me. The girls that stole the phone of the girl getting railed and took screenshots of her private texts are the real victims of this story? Cause they cried while being forced into "quarantine"?

The bitch in the video is basically saying she wants everyone currently employed at Auburn to be fired from the top to the bottom. But would also like to rejoin the team. I guess she would be among the best players available once she's done razing the athletic department to the ground.

Fuck this story. Fuck placating people trying to make a big federal case out if. Fuck the virtue signalling.

Corey maybe shouldn't have been fucking one of his players but it was nobody's business but his, his family's and the consenting adult whom he was railing. Even still his dad made him "resign" prior to that Georgia trip, so what's done is done. Move the fuck on.

Corey violated a policy in place by the university.  There is no maybe...if he wanted some young pussy he needed to head over to Southern Union...then it is "nobody's business but his, his family's and the consenting "adult" whom he was railing.

Okay, can somebody give me a the Reader's Digest version of this whole thing, because honestly, it's chick softball.  I wouldn't normally give any more of a fiddle fuck about it than the Debate team except for the fact that a local girl was probably the best player in America and they were playing for a National Championship. Worth at least keeping up with then. 

I don't know about all the texts and don't care.  Amirong in understanding an assistant corch was playing hide the salami with a player.  It got out and due to that being a University no-no, said corch was fired, forced to resign, agreed to part ways....whatever.  From the little bit I've read, he probably should have been let go (Resigned) a lot sooner than he was.  Or amirong about that?

Is there something more to this scandalous story?

Timeline:

1) Clint hired.  Brings sons Corey and some other C name with him.   Auburn softball soars! 

2) We good.  Damn good. Recruiting improves. Success!

3) Corey likes attention from younger women

4) Corey takes a "leave of absence" never explained

5) Corey returns to the team. 

6) Pretty widely known that he's either hooking up with or on the verge with some players.

7) Bitches be jealous because he likes her better. She's prettier. 

8) Corey resigns.

9) No talent walk-on gets cut from the team.  Cries a lot.  Wants to come back.  Isn't wanted.

10) No talent cut walk-on decides to burn it down.

11) ESPN and al.com happy to assist in burning.

12) Clint resigns

13) ESPN moves on.  James Creeper, our illustrious al.com beat writer smells Pulitzer and continues the crusade to burn it down.

14) Our dumbass AD makes it worse with his bloviating during and after the fact.

15) We can't have nice things.

Is it stated university policy? It may be, and fine, I don't necessarily disagree only because of the practical purpose of not fucking with team chemistry. But even still, violating an internal university policy is a far fucking cry from the scandal the media and 90% of fans are trying to make this out to be. And I object to you putting "adult" in scare quotes. She's 22. Enough with the infantilizing twenty somethings. She's practically too old to do porn.

Even in that scenario. It's not illegal to fuck members of your staff. It happens all the fucking time. What do you think secretaries were for in the 70s?

Again, not necessarily smart, and plenty of other problems can certainly arise, but not illegal. Not earth shattering.

I think we've established at this point it's not illegal. But doesn't mean it isn't an issue. And I'm not a big fan of sweeping things under the rug like daddy appeared to try to do for sonnyboy. Many times the attempted coverup is much worse than the violation itself.

I'm the biggest Jacobs hater on the board but I'm just not seeing the damage here. 

He lied to the media.  That seems to be the biggest issue that can be attached to him. Given what we know about the predatory nature of the media in this state wouldn't you?  I don't blame him for lying.  I don't blame him for hoping that this could all be handled internally. 

Do I blame the jilted woman who decided to burn it all down with a 14-page list of "feels"?  Not really because that's how our kids are being raised these days. 

It's just an unfortunate situation for all.  Our intrepid media is on it like a beaver on a pine tree and they're not going to let it go, but I just don't think this has any legs. 

Jacobs has botched any number of things.  His list of offenses is long.  This just isn't on there -- at least from what I know now.

I don't care if I have to wait until I'm in my 90's to catch you at an x gate, I'm going to do it.

And if you happen to have a date there, you should give a warning that I'm coming after you. I'd hate to cause a heart attack. And it's nothing against him.

I don't care about Jacobs in this other than any roll/role he had in helping this become a PR clusterfuck.  This is such a non-story to me.  The Coach hit it. If it's against policy, and it damn sure should be, he should have been gone as soon as it happened.  Case closed.

Could depend on the organization and its employee handbook. But I've got to imagine it's against Auburn Athletic Policy. Illegal as in facing jail time?  No. Illegal as in against company policy and therefore subject to termination?  Maybe.

Maybe Corey shouldn't have dipped his pen in the barely adult warmth of a player's sweaty nethers.

But burning down the program was just this chick's reaction to being cut.  She wants back in, Clint wasn't having it.

He lied to the media.  That seems to be the biggest issue that can be attached to him. Given what we know about the predatory nature of the media in this state wouldn't you?  I don't blame him for lying.  I don't blame him for hoping that this could all be handled internally. 

Do I blame the jilted woman who decided to burn it all down with a 14-page list of "feels"?  Not really because that's how our kids are being raised these days. 

It's just an unfortunate situation for all.  Our intrepid media is on it like a beaver on a pine tree and they're not going to let it go, but I just don't think this has any legs. 

Jacobs has botched any number of things.  His list of offenses is long.  This just isn't on there -- at least from what I know now.

agree here in re to Jacobs. I'm more aiming at Clint and Corey. It was tacky and dishonest. Sorry but I just don't want that here. Not in our program. And I'm not trying to be sanctimonious but let some other program have that kind of shit. I just don't want it and the attention it brings. But jay is the last person I'm blaming here.

This does it for me. 

Maybe Corey shouldn't have dipped his pen in the barely adult warmth of a player's sweaty nethers.

But burning down the program was just this chick's reaction to being cut.  She wants back in, Clint wasn't having it.

She didn't make the team.  Her feeeeeels are hurt.
Here he is posting on some message board and getting roasted for it.

I am the PROUD DAD of Alexa Nemeth.  She was invited to the Auburn Softball team by Corey Myers.  Auburn's Physics program met her academic needs. She arrived on campus and gave her all during the season.  She did her best at everything softball the coaching staff asked her to do plus some.  I want to thank everyone that realizes the courage it takes for an 18 year-old to take on an established Hall of Fame coach and a University Athletic department when they are not following university rules.

Upperclassmen told her she needed to go to another college to play softball.  She did consider that route but strongly felt that staying at Auburn to major in Physics was best for her long-term goals. 'Why should I leave when Coach was the one breaking university and NCAA policy?' she said. At that point, our family decided to fully support her.  We knew it was a mountainous fight.   

We still have no idea why Clint did not want her back this year!  His line was- two top recruit pitchers are coming so I don't need you!  Alexa proposed outfield or first base; Alexa was quite successful as a utility player in high school.  'You can't try outfield or first base because you take reps from other players' was his reply. 

Clint wanted to continue coaching because he likes teaching girls.  Seems like a match to me.  A willing, previously successful, student not costing the program a dime and a Hall of Fame coach that wants to teach girls.  As far as her pitching, she came into the program last year throwing 60.  Corey told her she needed to have a maximum speed of 57.

She had numerous successful practices during the year.  Clint and Corey moved her to outfield and batting for the Florida series and left the 3 freshman outfielders in Auburn.  Clint commented her outfield skills were mid of the pack for the outfielders on the roster.  That is pretty good for one week of work.  Once she knocked the rust off her batting, she showed potential.  Corey left March 30 and she was immediately relegated to shagging balls the remainder of the year along with throwing a bullpen every few weeks.  Never threw batting practice after January.

I have questions for the Hall of Fame coach.

You complain about hitting all year yet leave an untried bat on the bench-Why?

Your pride yourself in instruction,yet you cut a willing student of the game-Why?

If Clint had put her in the game, he may have gotten a pleasant surprise -- or she would have gotten shelled and realized Division I softball was not for her.  All she does know is that her teammates did not like hitting off of her and Clint had a GA retrieve her first home run in situational practice and write: "Nemo's first college home run 3/29/17"

Again I am proud of Alexa for following Clint's advice of "Excellence in everything" and thank all of the support she has gotten on this blog!

OMFG Alan,

Like the others have said, it's not wise to post with everything going on. Besides you show people that, although merited, your daughters complaints are stretched and overblown. You and your family have reached the status of serial law suitors.
Like the law suit you filed here in North Carolina, because princess didn't make the baseball team, now she gets cut from a softball team and you file again.

At least this complaint is warranted. However like your accounts in NC you have her again stretching the truth to make the story better. I hope it works for you. Your daughter couldn't, didn't, can't, never did, throw 60 at Auburn. she topped at 55mph 90% on her pitches that didn't go to the backstop. The Myers F'ed up by using her as a pawn to motivate the other pitchers for playing time. Proof be told, she didn't throw 1 pitch.

As far as traveling to Florida is concerned, she never should have gone. She wasn't on the traveling roster. Myers made an example of all of the Freshman and was left traveling with a shortened and under-maned roster that required princess to shag balls in the outfield because there were no others to. I bet Myers is wishing he used parents to shag and left the non travelers home, but again he F'ed up.

Please let your daughters courageous battle go on without embellishing for affect.

I was overlooked for a scholarship offer by every major D1 football program in America and my parents didn't sue anyone.

As a matter of fact, was over looked by every minor college program as well.

They should sue you for not reaching the potential they wished.  I know a lawyer who cares that would be willing to take their case too.

I'm completely done with this story. 

I've coached.  You don't cut kids who can play unless their external baggage exceeds their value to the team. 

This bitch was a walk on.  She got her chance.  She wasn't cut because she wasn't pretty enough or because she didn't put out. She was cut because other players were better. She wasn't even recruited or worth wasting a scholarship on. 

Fuck her and her whiny ass dad. 

They've made me rally behind jay Jacobs.  Uggghhh.

I thought it was already determined that she wasn't good enough to make the squad. Geez!

Yep. She couldn't play.  And couldn't make the ass squad either.

I think it's pretty telling that the girls already on campus told her - by dipshit dad's own admission -- she wasn't good enough to play D1.
