re: AU working on #1 DB class

He also didn't coach Carlos Rogers other than being his DC. The credit for all of Auburns cb's for the last 11 years should go to one Phillip Lolley. Lolley has put 2 walk ons in the NFL and has also had a 3rd stringer drafted along with every other starting cb for Auburn(Montae Pitts being the lone exception)since he has been here. I'm not going to say that Lolley is a better db coach than Saban but he can hold his own against anybody.

When it comes to coaching, Chizik, Lolley, and Thig are about equal; each brings their own spin to it but all are at the top of the pile when coaching that position. Chizik and Thig I'd argue are better talent spotters than anyone I've ever seen, Saban is good at picking out top talent but Chizik just has an eye for people that can be great at the position, like anything you have misses with this but he is good at it.

Auburn's secondary will be very strong, very very strong. CHizik's philosophy was have a secondary that can cover and force the QB to run or force coverage sacks.
