1 Auburn University University Auburn/NFL History Records 2005 Review Coaches Players Outlook Auburn Auburn University has a proud and dynamic 150-year history. The institution was chartered on Feb. 1, 1856 as the East Alabama Male College, a private liberal arts school established by Alabama Methodists to foster Christian education. A single four-story building was completed at a cost of $111,000 in 1859 with 80 students enrolled and a faculty of five. Five male students were graduated in the first commencement held. When Alabama seceded from the Union, faculty and students resigned to enlist for the duration of the Civil War. Among those joining was William J. Samford, who would later become governor of Alabama. The college building, then named Old Main, was used as a Confederate hospital from 1864 until classes resumed in When fire destroyed Old Main in 1887, it was replaced on the same site in 1888 by Samford Hall, named after Gov. Samford. Today Samford Hall serves as the AU's administrative headquarters. The college struggled in the shattered Southern economy during the years after the Civil War. It was a ruined economy and those that pledged large sums to the college went bankrupt and could not meet their pledges. The Methodist Church granted the institution to the state in 1872 for use as a land-grant university under the Morrill Act, signed by President Lincoln in The institution then became the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, changing from the private liberal arts school to a state-supported college with an emphasis on the new scientific and agricultural programs. Continuous expansion followed. In 1899, the Alabama Legislature decided a new name was needed to reflect the expanded role of the institution. The college's name was changed to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. From the beginning, however, virtually everyone connected with the university ignored official names, preferring always the name selected for the town, founded in 1836, where the institution was located- Auburn. Elizabeth Harper, the daughter-in-law of the settlement's founder, was inspired by a line from Oliver Goldsmith's poem, "The Deserted Village," which reads, "Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain." Would the history of this institution have been the same had it been named Geneva as once was proposed for naming the town? The story goes that straws were drawn for naming the town Geneva or Auburn. Auburn won out. As Charles C. Thach, the university's sixth president said, "The Alabama Polytechnic Institute, a high sounding phrase, is fit for legal document; and grave legislation, but not to conjure with and not to yell and not to dream with as is "Fair Auburn." The Legislature agreed, and in 1960 Alabama Polytechnic Institute became Auburn University. Women students were first admitted to Auburn in 1892, making Auburn the oldest four-year coeducational school in Alabama and the second oldest in the Southeast. Twelve schools and colleges advance the University's outstanding programs of teaching, research and service. The current colleges and schools and the dates of this original inception are: College of Agriculture, 1872; College of Architecture Design and Construction, 1907; College of Business, 1967; College of Education, 1915; Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, 1872; School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, 1984; College of Human Sciences, 1916; College of Liberal Arts, 1986; School of Nursing, 1979; James Harrison School of Pharmacy, 1885; College of Sciences and Mathematics, 1986; College of Veterinary Medicine, 1907; Graduate School, In 1986, a university reorganization created the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Sciences and Mathematics from the former school of Arts and Sciences (1872), as well as portions of the School of Agriculture and Biological Sciences and the School of Architecture and Fine Arts (both subsequently renamed). Auburn's greatest growth and development came after World War II. From a campus of 35 buildings in 1946, the university's multi-million dollar physical complex has grown to approximately 375 buildings on 1,840 acres. The Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station conducts crop, animal and soil experimentation statewide, and Extension agents are stationed in all 67 Alabama counties. Main campus enrollment currently exceeds 23,000, with about 1,250 faculty. In 1967, the State Legislature approved a $5 million bond issue for the purpose of establishing a four-year university at Montgomery under the supervision and control of the Auburn University Board of Trustees. It was name Auburn University at Montgomery. AUM began operation in the former Extension Center of the University of Alabama temporarily in The Montgomery community raised money to purchase a 500-acre site seven miles east of the city off I-85. The new campus was built and occupied in Currently its enrollment stands at approximately 5,000. Auburn University is a pre-eminent land-grant and comprehensive research institution with nearly 23,000 students and 6,500 faculty and staff. Ranked among the top 50 public universities nationally, Auburn is Alabama's largest educational institution, offering more than 230 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degree programs. Economic Impact Highlights A recent study determined AU had a nearly $4 billion economic impact on the state of Alabama. AU provides principal academic support for Alabama agricultural, construction and manufacturing industries. AU is the primary source of instruction and research for Alabama's emerging aerospace, automotive, microelectronics, and wireless technology industries. AU has partnered with the state to develop a hotel and conference center at Gulf State Park, which will offer hands-on education to students and attract tourism to Alabama. Research Highlights Sponsored research at AU totals more than $71 million annually. 194

2 Auburn University Auburn devotes extensive research funding to seven Peaks of Excellence: cellular and molecular biosciences, detection and food safety, fisheries and aquaculture, forest sustainability, information technology, poultry products safety/quality and transportation. Research Highlights AU research has led to licensing and sponsorship agreements with more than 250 commercial firms in less than three years to transfer a variety of its research developments to the marketplace. AU is in the planning phase for a research park to attract significant technology business and industry to the area and enhance and support AU's research mission. AU is one of six universities selected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide experts for a homeland security "think tank." Instruction/Academics Highlights U.S. News & World Report ranked two AU colleges in the top 100 in their fields nationwide. The Ginn College of Engineering was ranked 77th and the AU College of Education was ranked 82nd. The rankings were compiled as part of its America's Best Graduate Schools U.S. News & World Report - for the 12th consecutive year - ranked AU in the top 50 public universities in the nation. The November 2003 edition of Kiplinger's magazine ranked AU among its best values in U.S. public institutions, as did the 2004 Princeton Review. Kiplinger rated AU 26th in terms of in-state student value and 31st for out-of-state student value. AU is the only university in the country to offer a degree in wireless technology, and the first in the Southeast to offer degrees in software engineering. AU is known for its "rocket science": six NASA astronauts graduated from AU, and the current director and one past director of Kennedy Space Center are also AU alumni.

ED RICHARDSON Interim President The Board of Trustees unanimously named Dr. Ed Richardson as interim president of Auburn University on January 20, As State Superintendent of Education, Richardson had served on the Auburn University Board of Trustees from 1995 until his interim appointment. Upon accepting the position, his primary task was to convince the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to lift the probationary status placed upon Auburn University late in Clearing the university s name with regard to its accreditation status in December 2004 was the culmination of a year of difficult work. With the SACS accreditation problem behind him, Richardson began working on projects of lasting importance: positioning Auburn to attract a permanent president with outstanding qualifications. To that end, Richardson put before the AU Board of Trustees an aggressive agenda for The agenda places major emphasis on the development of Auburn University s Research Park, improving its airport, effecting changes in the current structure of AU s agriculture programs, establishment of a closer working relationship with AU-Montgomery and formation of a process to conduct academic program reviews including post-tenure review and student assessment. The agenda also includes the formation of an Auburn University and University of Alabama team to work for better state funding. Prior to assuming the post at Auburn, Richardson had served as State Superintendent of Education since October, Before he became state superintendent, Richardson was superintendent of schools for the Auburn City Board of Education for 13 years.

4 Auburn Administration JAY JACOBS Athletics Director Auburn Athletics Director Jay Jacobs has a vision of leading Auburn Athletics to becoming the nation s preeminent Athletics Department. In his brief tenure at the helm of the Tigers program, Jacobs has set out on a path that has seen the department prosper athletically, academically, and financially, making sound decisions that have benefited Auburn student-athletes, coaches, and fans. Athletically, the Tigers have claimed five national championships under Jacobs, including a school-record four titles in along with six Southeastern Conference titles. Last year, the Auburn men s and women s swimming programs each won NCAA titles, the women s outdoor track and field team won its first-ever national championship, and the equestrian team captured the national varsity equestrian crown. Individually in , Auburn produced 54 All-Americans, 52 All- SEC performers, six NCAA individual and relay champions, 21 Southeastern Conference champions, and five Tiger student-athletes were named SEC Athlete of the Year in their respective sport. Perhaps more impressive than Auburn s athletic achievements, are the successes by Tiger student-athletes in the classroom. The NCAA s Academic Progress Report (APR) that was released in February 2006, recognized three Auburn programs for scoring in the 90th-100th percentile nationally. The APR, which is a formula based upon student-athletes retention and eligibility, saw the Auburn football team post the highest score of any Division I public institution from a Bowl Championship Series conference. The men s cross country and men s golf programs posted perfect APR scores of 1,000 and joined the football program to receive public recognition by the NCAA. In , five Auburn student-athletes were Academic All- Americans, 122 earned Academic All-SEC honors, and cross country and track and field All-American Angela Homan won the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and received the prestigious Auburn University Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. A total of 200 Auburn student-athletes earned grade point averages of 3.0 or better during the Fall 2005 semester and a record 185 student-athletes were honored at the annual Tiger Torch Banquet. Jacobs, who gained strong business expertise as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Tigers Unlimited prior to his appointment as Director of Athletics, has initiated several successful business ventures for the Athletics Department. In December 2005, Auburn signed a five-year contract with Under Armour Performance Apparel to be the official outfitter of the University s Jayne, Haley, Jay, Angie and Meagan Jacobs athletic teams. The five-year contract, worth over $10.6 million in sponsorship, product, and additional benefits, provides Auburn's athletic teams Under Armour uniforms, cleats, apparel, and accessories. Auburn also extended its multi-media rights contract with ISP Sports for an additional nine years following the end of the current agreement in The new terms include revenue to the Athletics Department of an average of more than $5.8 million annually, more than double the previous contract of nearly $2.4 million per year. Under Jacobs leadership, Auburn has also moved forward with several facility projects designed to benefit Tiger athletic programs and their fans. The most recognizable update has been the Jordan-Hare Stadium Phase 1C renovation, set for completion in August The renovations include new concessions and expanded restroom facilities on the west and east concourses along with a spacious plaza on the west side of the stadium. In , Auburn opened the new Hutsell-Rosen Track and a new wood floor surface was placed over the old tartan floor at Beard-Eaves- Memorial Coliseum. Other projects set for ground-breaking in include a new tennis facility west of campus, an outdoor training pool located at the old Luther Young Tennis Complex and a new golf training center. For Jacobs, it was only fitting that he was named Auburn's 14th Director of Athletics on December 22, 2004, after working in almost every area of the Auburn Athletics Department for the previous 20 years. It was the final step for Jacobs in a career that had allowed him to gain a wide-range of experiences in collegiate athletics, from the perspective of a student-athlete, to the position of Senior Associate Athletics Director for Tigers Unlimited, Auburn's fund-raising arm. Jacobs grew up just 20 miles from Auburn in LaFayette and made several trips a year to the campus to watch athletic events. Later, after moving to Jacksonville, Fla., to attend high school, he returned to Auburn for college. After walking on the Auburn football team, he earned two letters as an offensive tackle in 1982 and As a senior, he started for the SEC Championship Tigers that finished the season ranked third nationally. Not long after his career ended against Michigan in the 1984 Sugar Bowl, Jacobs started the journey that led him to being named Athletics Director. After one season as a coach at Lee-Scott Academy in Auburn, Jacobs returned to his alma matter in 1985 as the Strength and Conditioning Coach. After serving two seasons ( ) as a graduate football coach, Jacobs was named Conditioning Coach, a position he held for three years ( ). In 1991, he became an Athletics Director. Three years later, he was promoted to Associate Athletics Director for Operations, overseeing a variety of support functions in the Athletics Department. As the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Tigers Unlimited from , Jacobs oversaw the fund-raising efforts that secured approximately $60-million in gifts the last three years. He spearheaded a $90 million capital campaign which is the largest in Auburn athletic history. Jacobs earned his undergraduate and master's degree in business administration from Auburn in 1985 and 1988, respectively. He is married to the former Angie Sapp of Dublin, Ga. The couple has three daughters, Haley, Meagan, and Jayne. Auburn Outlook Players Coaches 2005 Review Records History Auburn/NFL University 197
