re: More embarassing hire (at the time), Chizik or Orgeron?

Was he even interviewed? I remember the media pushing really hard for Auburn to hire him (kind of like us with Orgeron).

Yep. From all accounts, it was a terrible interview. He was very unprepared. In Chizik'a defense, when he interviewed, he came in with a game plan on exactly how he was going to bring buzz back to Auburn, already had a core of his staff lined up contingent on getting the job, and overall laid out a great foundation for the program. He just failed at the continuing success part of the plan.
