Gene Chizik? Yeah That Makes Sense.

So I am Auburn's Athletic Director Jay Jacobs, I ran out Tommy Tuberville who averages 8.5 wins a year in 10 years at Aubrn and I go with Gene Chizik whose won 5 games in two years!

Chizik is the classic definition of a great coordinator (won a national championship with Texas and had an unbeaten year with Auburn) but he is not a good coach. I bet the fans of Iowa State are thanking the Tigers for getting this guy away from the program. How on earth could you hire this guy over Brady Hoke, or Turner Gill who seem like the wiser choices.

Granted, this was a job that no big name wanted because he would have to compete in-state with Nick Saban and the SEC has recently been a firing range if you have one bad season- Hard to believe people are pissed about Les Miles after winning a National Championship last year! But still, these two MAC guys would have took this job any day of the week.

Now Auburn alum Charles Barkley thinks its all about race because Turner Gill is an African-American. I really hate when race is brought into the whole mix but you really do have to wonder why Gill wasnt the obvious choice for the job. He rebuilt a non-existent Buffalo program, enough said.

I dont if its about race, its just whoever the boosters want.
