My understanding is that much of this started snowballing a few weeks back when Mason announced he was "stepping away from football" then at the same time word begins to circulate he is talking with Okie State. The word was Mason was unhappy with being relieved of some of his DC play calling responsibilities after the Mississippi State game. And he voiced that "displeasure" on the way out the door. Bobo and Davis could have done similarly, don't know about that. Then players start exiting, stating they have been treated "like dogs", and then a NSD where Auburn lands no one.
