All the more reason for us to hire him.

We're either going to keep Chizik or screw this new hire up big time. I'd bet on it.

Some of you guys need to go find a clue... the looking back at this point is stupid...


No, you need to get a clue. I'm talking in general how things have been handled at Auburn in the past.

Agree 100%. I'm still not sure we can the Chiz.

I agree I'm not very optimistic.I like Gene as a person but he is in over his head.I don't want to dump on him while he is going through the loss of his mother, but he he sucks at developing players.

I wouldn't think Slive would care as long as the dollars are rolling in.

I'd agree, but this guy's post seems to go along the same line as what Phillip Marshall apparently posted from the OP.

Tommy T beat a lot of people. He was a good coach. Too bad that he decided to throw in the towel on the recruiting trail. I wouldn't mind Strong, but I don't know if we'll get a guy that a school really wants to keep. I don't think Chiz will get another gig too quickly if we're forking over $212k a month. At some point the money will be a factor, that's why the Petrino thing makes sense.

Terry Bowden beat Tommy T in 98.... and we hired him 4 months later.

don't get hung up to much on the near term.

And ULM beat Saban.... These little ploys are everywhere. In 98 AU was obviously trending down while Ole Miss was trending up.

Major difference than Tubby bringing Tech back (IMO)

doesn't have anything to do with our search because I hope Rhodes or Patterson isn't in the mix.

Does anybody know if Jay Gooch watches football or sports in general? He only fires/hires ADs apparently.

He doesn't. As the commissioner, he's going by the PR book. It wouldn't look too good for the league commissioner to endorse an adulterer like Petrino, but in reality, he could care less who hires him in the SEC.

Petrino put a lot of money in Slive's pocket while at Arkansas, and he'd do it again at Auburn.
