Auburn just made a worse hire than we even thought about

[bburger991]

They got Gene Chizik, a guy who went 5-19 at Iowa State.

LOL

 

[bristolvolfan]

Wasn't he there DC the year they went undefeated?

 

[Bassmanbruno]

He was put in a horrible situation from what I understand.

 

[BeecherVol]

Is that a done deal? WOW!

Well somewhat, but they were decent at least in the few years preceding him.

 

[UT4EVER]

DC prior to Muschamp

 

[Smashville]

He used to be a position coach at MTSU.

I'm surprised that was the best Auburn could do...

How certain are you that he's been hired? Or even offered?

 

[KLayneUT8]

imagine the pandamonium that would of occured if Tennessee made this hire....oh my

 

[BeecherVol]

Auburn shot their self in the foot during Tubs years there. The whole Petrino thing and this last fiasco and how it shaked out. It is a good place to be less the politics. Of course Bama is making it harder now. Good Luck Dude! your gonna need it.

I find this really hard to believe. But, if true, I think it's a terrible mistake.

Wow. Fire Tubs, only to replace him with Chizik. Good luck with that.

Looks like the dark ages are upon the War Eagle Tigers.

 

[VolfanMike]

If this is true, AU will get what they deserve

 

[TheVol]

Wow, pretty shocking hire.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Wonder what the Tiger/ War Eagles are thinking about our hire.

 

[utmba93]

I love this Auburn AD. He must be on Bama's payroll.

 

[MontereyVol]

I know they had money issues but wow, this is a much bigger gamble than us.

 

[westtnvol]

Atleast he has head coaching experience. Some people around here would have hired him for that reason only.

 

[utmba93]

Kiffin needs to go hard after any Auburn recruits he wants. I don't think they signed up for this coach. :lolabove::lolabove:

 

[orangeblooded2]

Conceptually within the posts written thus far you could find the same comments posted about CLK and UT on previous threads.Indeed I'm also sure it will play out the same on boards nationally.

That being said.....:birgits_giggle:

 

[alaVOL]

Unbelievable......I thought and heard that Gill was going to be the man if Jimbo and Muschamp fell though. Surprised to say the least. Personally I do think that Gill would have been a great hire.

 

[alaVOL]

I guess a lot of SEC teams went out on a limb. I still think our hire of Kiffin who wanted the Tennessee job over some easier to win at places, was the best man for our HC.

What is Auburn possibly thinking? This guy made Iowa State worse than where they were before, and they were already awful.
