The Bodda Getta

I'm not sure what I've done or written to make some of you feel like you do. I do not engage in sensationalism, and this is as far from sensationalism as you can get. Too close? Too close to what? You can just go ahead and say I'm unprofessional if that's the way you feel. You can believe that if you want because somebody on some other message board says it, but it's BS.

Kevin Yoxall was a major part of Auburn football for 13 years. I did not one time question Malzahn's decision to do what he feels comfortable doing. I've defended it every day since Tuesday. I did not start any debate over what happened last season or didn't. I wrote about Kevin Yoxall the person I knew, nothing more. I'm growing weary of being called unprofessional, which is what you are saying wen you say I am "too close."

I didn't say Yoxall should or should not have been kept. I didn't even mention last season. This was about none of that. That's a debate someone else chose to start in response to this column. Don't read between the lines. I don't write there.

How much damage did chiz do to coach yox?I seem to remember a prior post stating workouts were somewhat voluntary and the players no longer feared him.i feel his pain and wish him the very best.just like the coordinators if he was left to do his job like he had in the past things might be different.

Philip, thanks for a great story about an Auburn man with great character . It seems like everyone these days are looking for someone to blame and the reasons for last season.Anyone can write about those facts but it takes a writer with great character to write about the people who love Auburn by painting a picture of a man behind the job.

This is by far the best post here. Time for Yox to go. If he's a great guy then let him go with his dignity. He must have watched different games then I did. I saw guys getting shoved around, quitting, and happy just to grab their blockers in a loving embrace as opposed to shed their blockers and tackle somebody with some authority. I wish Nick Fairley would consult too. If Cam was the grace, Fairley was the mean. Time to bring back some nasty..

I dont know the man. Im sure he is a great guy. Im sure he can retire a wealthy man. But I dont think for a minute that he bears NO REPONSIBLITY FOR THIS MESS. He is no different than any other coach. In this case they ALL need to go. As far as being mad about the perception many on this team "quit" I dissagree. I guess if your making a nice salary and your standing on the sidelines watching the game for free and you dont travel several hours to get there, then you probably do see things different. From my perspective sitting in the sun in section 46 I saw more than a few that DAMN well did quit. This put it all on CHizik is a load a bs.
