In a surprise move, Auburn has decided to tap Gene Chizik as the next head coach of the Auburn football team. I think this is just plain silly. Chizik had a superb record as an assistant coach both at Auburn in 2004 and Texas in 2005, but as head coach, his resume is quite suspect. At Iowa State (without playing Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahoma this year) Chizik is 5-19 in his two seasons and ended this season with a 10-game losing streak.I knew once Tuberville left, the head coaching job at Auburn would be a tough sell, but this is ridiculous. Auburn needs to remember where they came from and they should have found a more qualified coach. The Auburn athletic powers have forgotten their good football tradition. How can anyone expect Chizik to perform against Alabama or the SEC for that matter? He will not unite the fan base, he will not succeed, and he will not outperform Tuberville. Read Full Article!
