Right now, would you take a Gene Chizik Auburn tenure at your school?

So basically you have two choices. You can take the current trajectory of your team and see what happens, or you can have something substantially similar to Chizik’s Auburn tenure? Here is a detailed breakdown

Year 1

For whatever reason your current coach leaves the program. You hire a guy with an awful record at his previous job and wasn’t necessarily a hot commodity. You come out hot and win your first few games including a non-conference opponent that ends up ranked. You play your closest rivals tough and end the season 8-5 (3-5) with a win in one of the Florida Bowls. You receive votes in the final AP Poll

Year 2

Start the season barely ranked but ride a generational talent to a Heisman and an undefeated National Championship. You have multiple exciting games including your biggest rival and your Natty opponent. Your new coach receives a massive extension and raise

Year 3

You take a big step back but still pick up a road conference win over a team that finished in the top-15. Other than that you get blowout by all the elite teams you play. You end up 8-5, ranked in the final BCS poll, and get a win in a good bowl game.

Year 4

shite absolutely hits the fan. You go 3-9 and winless in conference. You lose by at least 3 scores in 5 conference games and the QB play is a mess. You fire your coach and owe him a great deal of money for the next few years. Still recruiting was consistently in the top-10 throughout his tenure. You now have to search for a new coach and see what happens
