Yes. He won that championship. And now we all know that he was not "meddling" in 2011, Gus is just a fricking idiot. Hence Chizik won a championship with an idiot at OC. Makes Cam Newton look even more amazing.

Sure.

Auburn has won 2 National Championships and Chizik was the coach for one.

Also, he is a good man.

Chiz is a great dude. He may have let the team collapse in 2012 but I can't imagine anyone else could have handled all the Cam and 2010 stuff any better. Give the guy his due regardless if it was Cam and Gus that brought the title home we got on the field finally instead of being left out like '83, '93' '04.

Cam comes out looking beautiful in all of this but I thought Chizik was mediocre.

Yes. Chiz understood line play was important. His championship was 2010.

Good for Gene and AU. Shug won a ring and the wheels came off for him too. It happens. Im glad they gave Gene the props. The way he navigated the Cam thing with the press and kept that team focused was very impressive. Hes a good ambassador to the university too.

Go look at his recruiting classes. OL and DL were a focus.

I like Chiz, I do not like the banners or the drapes...

Storybook ending.

Got booed when he arrived in Auburn (who did we want btw?)

Had a great season

Then led our team to one of our worst seasons in modern day football

And gets honored after his career with a stadium banner

And on that note I boo that too.

Long over due.

Even if inconsistent... He checked all the boxes that NC year.

I don't remember who *we* wanted but I do remember that the media wanted Turner Gill.

I just found an ESPN article from '08. Other major candidates were Todd Graham, Brady Hoke, Gary Patterson (who was also a prime candidate for us 4 years later).

The article says Jacobs interviewed Graham, Hoke, Patterson, Gill, Derek Dooley, Rodney Garner, Will Muschamp, and Patrick Nix.

Yikes.
