Well, winning 35% of your games in conference won't cut it.

About time is all i got to say. Now we can get some one new and turn Auburn Baseball around
"Wins and losses is what it boils down to," said Jacobs. "We have a great tradition here in baseball and we've got to find a coach to get us to the next level."

Jacobs plans to immediately begin the process of hiring Auburn's new coach. He will hire Carr Sports Associates in Gainesville, Fla., to assist in the search.

"We're going to manage this process so that it's thorough and strategic as well being efficient so that we can find the best coach for Auburn that can take us to the next level, fit in with the department and this institution, and the community," said Jacobs.
