🏈 Auburn hires Chizik

[billfish]

Talked to a guy from Texas this past summer and they said they "hated the guy".

And to think barn put astronauts in space. :shock:

And the barn nation wept...

That kid is probably wishing he hadn't turned down the job.

OR...

He got passed over for Chizik. :lol:

"Now that Iowa State has Gene Chizik off its hands and off the books, it's time to move forward and move upward with a new head football coach. A number of intriguing candidates are available, led by the absolute no brainer, must interview, you'd be totally clueless to not have this guy on your very short list: Buffalo head coach Turner Gill."

Wow. ISU is not wasting any time, are they?

Auburn lost out on a good coach in Turner Gill, I just have the feeling that they will regret that move. Turner will draw good players from Chicago and other large Midwest cities.

He would have been dangerous recruiting for Auburn in Georgia but Gene Chizik represents no appeal to recruits whatsoever, no matter what state they are in.

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State University head football coach Gene Chizik will leave the school to take the head football coaching job at Auburn University in Georgia, KCCI Sports has confirmed.

Sources tell KCCI Sports that Chizik had to make a decision about whether to accept the position by midnight Friday. KCCI Sports Director Andy Garman spotted Chizik at Des Moines International Airport early Saturday. Chizik was catching a departing flight. There was a commercial flight about that time headed for Memphis. KCCI Sports has also confirmed that Auburn University sent a plane today to the Memphis airport.

KCCI football analyst Scot Knock said on Friday that Chizik and his wife flew to Texas on Thursday to interview for the position.

Iowa State coach Gene Chizik has been hired as the next football coach at Auburn, Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard said in statement.

"Gene [Chizik] confirmed for me today that he is accepting the head coaching position at Auburn, Pollard said "I'm disappointed for our Iowa State fans and student-athletes that he has chosen to leave our program after only two seasons.

"I understand that it [Auburn] is a dream job for him, but the timing and the way it played out has been hurtful and disappointing. Although this is a significant set back, we will get through the challenge because the Iowa State University athletics program is far greater than one person."

hmmm, interesting. so did he stab his AD in the back?

So does this mean that Chizik is off this list?

It's like all the bad ill I've wished upon Auburn (especially these past 7 years) is finally becoming a reality.



Here's to a Happy Roll Tide New Year!

Outstanding call, Ump.

The least we can do is send thank you notes.

jgogue@auburn.edu (Jay Gogue)

athldir@auburn.edu (Jay Jacobs)

I just sent the following Email: lol thanks by the way.

Dear Jay, & Jay.
On behalf of the fans of the University of Alabama Football Program, I would personally like to congratulate you upon your wise and well thought out choice for a new coach there at Auburn. I and some of my fellow "BAMERS" we're hoping you would hire Turner Gill. We feel he would have done a fine job there and brought something meaningful back to our little rivalry. Instead you do....what you barners typically do. So again congratulations on your choice of Gene Chizik as the new coach there and thank you for our next ten year winning streak and many more 36-0 Iron Bowls. See ya'll next year.
Roll Tide.

Sincerely,
Lee Henderson
Montgomery, Al.

That there is a treasure trove of sigs! I got dibs on the Saban flossing his teeth with Chizik thingy! :wink:

 

[Chuck-E-Cheeze]

Well, Kirk Herbstreit just said this was a great hire on Sportscenter. He is right about most things, I don't think this is one of them. Lowder just got himself a new puppet. :roll:

I liked this one...

When the clock ticks down to 0:00 on future Iron Bowls, there will be nothing left to do but I.D. the Auburn bodies.

Good luck, Auburn, you'll need it.
