I wish Gary Williams would leave Maryland.

I can't believe that:


1) There aren't any ECU fans on here gloating about their CUSA championship, and

2) We are missing out on the fun of letting them know Skip took a better job.

12/10/2008 2:10:12 PM

There were probably better options for Miss. St. Shoulda went after Tuberville hard.

12/10/2008 3:42:26 PM

Just gonna throw these out there right now, because I'm sure we'll hear a lot about this in the coming weeks/months...

12/10/2008 3:46:21 PM

Oh yes they only get fired because they are black.....not because Willingham couldn't even win a game at Washington.....or Croom didn't improve MSU.....or Prince ran KSU into the ground after Bill Snyder built a quality program.

12/10/2008 6:28:04 PM

haha that's not what I meant.... The race card will be pulled as new white coaches are hired, just like whitey who replaced Croom..... DeWayne Walker will be the next black coach hired, after that I have no clue.

12/10/2008 6:46:27 PM

GREAT HIRE for Miss State!

One of the best offensive minds in football

he deserved a head coaching job

12/10/2008 7:54:22 PM

we'll see

12/10/2008 8:37:51 PM

too bad its Urbans system, not his.

12/10/2008 8:46:49 PM

Syracuse reportedly hires New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone.

Really?

12/11/2008 8:06:26 PM

fine by me, those assholes score too many points for the panthers to be comfortable in the south

12/11/2008 8:16:32 PM

What other jobs are still available as of today?

12/12/2008 9:23:49 AM

i hear ole jimmy grobe is interviewing for the allburn job

12/12/2008 2:54:29 PM

urban meyer to Notre Dame in a couple years

12/12/2008 2:57:48 PM

for jim grobe's sake, he needs to get to a decent program while he can. bb&t was empty on senior night this year. i'm not sure if he can do any more w/ that program.

go while the iron's hot.

12/12/2008 3:11:15 PM

^aren't you the one who thinks Grobe is a mediocre coach?

12/12/2008 3:21:19 PM

i don't want him as our coach, and i don't really like his system of redshirting everyone. his commodity is already starting to dwindle. if he has another season next year like this year's, he won't be getting interest from the auburns of the world. i don't think it's his fault, he's at wake forest, but if he wants to leave he should do it now.

oh are you talking about what i said about him in regards to tennessee? yeah, tennessee would not be kind to him.

I've been hearing about Will Muschamp leaving his "successor to Mack Brown" post at Texas and taking the Head Coaching job over at Auburn...

12/12/2008 3:42:30 PM

Gene Chizik to Auburn

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3767115

12/13/2008 4:33:01 PM

yeah, and Auburn fans are fucking pissed


they went to the airport to boo him when he landed HAHAHA

[Edited on December 13, 2008 at 4:43 PM. Reason : d]

12/13/2008 4:42:05 PM

Butch Davis to Iowa State?

12/13/2008 4:44:07 PM

I still can't wrap by brain around the Chizik hiring. I'd be suicidal if I was an Auburn fan right now.

And why do they think he can win in the SEC? he sounds like a good assistant but not a head coach

Auburn fans are living in Meltdown City right now!

12/13/2008 4:59:17 PM

Wow at the Auburn hire, just wow

12/13/2008 5:33:21 PM

serves 'em right

12/13/2008 5:40:19 PM

LOL

12/13/2008 5:50:13 PM

If you are making a reach, at least go with an unknown commodity over a known one that's most recent team was horrible.

The Cyclones allowed at least 28 points in every conference game this season and at least 422 yards of total offense. Iowa State also had allowed 28 points in 14 of 16 conference games under Chizik."

12/13/2008 11:11:14 PM

this is a truly laughable hiring

12/13/2008 11:56:12 PM

Perhaps Gene Chizik was the only guy that Auburn interviewed that didn't turn down the job. Who else would want to follow Tuberville? He set the bar impossibly high and that still wasn't good enough for Auburn.

12/14/2008 8:07:04 AM

Just goes to show ya that you shouldn't fire a good coach unless you have a backup plan.

I see the Auburn football hire kinda like our basketball hire...on paper, it has everything, but with neighbors like Alabama, LSU, Florida, etc. it makes it extremely tough, and most coaches do not want that kind of pressure nowadays.

12/14/2008 8:26:05 AM

^^ i doubt Turner Gill turned it down to stay in Buffalo

[Edited on December 14, 2008 at 1:30 PM. Reason : d]

12/14/2008 1:30:07 PM

Maybe Gil is holding out for a better job where the fans/boosters/AD aren't as short sighted. Auburn is a great job on paper, but realistically its coaching career suicide.

12/14/2008 3:36:23 PM

Chizik at Auburn.

What are your thoughts?

12/15/2008 10:55:08 AM

youre an idiot

12/15/2008 11:00:16 AM

the fallout from Chizik is stunning

guy tracked down the Auburn AD at the airport and heckled him:

Quote :

"Freshman Iowa State receiver Darius Darks: "I understand business is business, but this man lied. At a team meeting, he was sitting there saying 'I told your mother, Jerrod Black, and I sat on your auntie's couch, Darius Darks, and I told her I would take care of you while you was up here at Iowa State.' Where's that n---- at now? Auburn University.""

HAHAHHA

12/15/2008 11:02:03 AM

I think the Chizik hire is terrible. How do you run out a guy that's basically owned his rival, only b/c he's had one bad year? I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Gill land at ISU. He took over a big challenge at UB, and if he turned ISU around and just simply got them to bowls consistently he'd look great. He knows the Big XII and the recruiting area, plus he could dip down into Texas and get the guys that Texas, A&M, and OU pass on, which isn't really all that bad when you consider the kind of talent that is in that state.

12/15/2008 11:03:32 AM

Anyone know any good Auburn sports forums? hah

12/15/2008 11:10:37 AM

I think this hire will FAIL

Auburn had their eye on two solid candidates: Paul Johnson and Jimbo Fisher

Wil Muschamp would have been a great hire

Turner Gil would have been a great hire

what about bringing back BARRY SWITZER or JIMMY JOHNSON

Why does that sound familiar? Sounds like Lee Fowler work to me.

[Edited on December 15, 2008 at 1:04 PM. Reason : V We basically fired Herb, and TOB fell into Lee's lap]

12/15/2008 12:49:31 PM

^What good coach did Fowler fire w/o a back up plan?

[Edited on December 15, 2008 at 1:03 PM. Reason : ^]

12/15/2008 1:01:47 PM

no one fired herb and chuck amato was not a good coach.

12/15/2008 1:19:47 PM

Herb got a 50% raise, and got to go to a place where they don't take basketball as serious and he could get a fresh start. We did not fire Sendek, and had Fowler given him a 50% raise after the way we ended that season then he would have probably been fired or had a mob turn his car over.

12/15/2008 1:26:22 PM

^^No shit.

Just comparing how impotent the ADs are.

[Edited on December 15, 2008 at 1:27 PM. Reason : for simonn]
