The Auburn situation is exactly what happens when the inmates( the fans) run the Asylum. For the past year the fans have got on the boards and on the talk radio and screamed Fire Tubervillle!!! You know one of the best coaches in the country. He had one really bad year and people go bonkers. It just shows that fans have no long term view.
Like yes some LSU fans that are getting on the radio and boards and not seeing the long term picture with Coach Les Miles. The sky is falling we did not have a great season we are returning to "Wild about Curley" days!!!
In the fans eyes the perfect Coach will just coming running to them because my God who wouldn't want to Coach at ( Fill in the blank).
So after firing (and yes he got fired) who did they hire ? Gene Chizik .!!!!!!!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Now yes I know about his Auburn ties and also a few years ago he was the big "it" before Jimbo FIsher and Muschamp came along. But Auburn has hired a head Coach that :
-Iowa State went 2-10 this year, losing their last 10 games, and was winless in the Big 12; even though they did not play Texas, Oklahoma, or Texas Tech
-In his 2 years as HC, he was 2-14 in conference play The defensive genius gave up 40 or more points 7 times in his 2 seasons. In the 3 seasons before that, Iowa State gave up 40 or more points just twice.
-He played 8 ranked teams and went 0-8, losing by an average score of 37 to 15
- He NEVER won a road game, going 0-11 on the road, (including a loss to a 5-7 Toledo team that had been beaten by the same Buffalo team coached by Turner Gill) 6 of his 19 losses were by at least 4 touchdowns Chizik's defense finished an average of 88th in the NCAA in total defense.
- In the previous 3 seasons, Iowa State's defense finished an average of 55th, with 2 of those years in the Top 35 Scoring defense was even worse.
-Under Mean Gene, they finished an average of 102nd in the NCAA. The 3 years before he got there, Iowa State finished 53rd
-He turned a program that had at least 7 wins in 5 out of the previous 7 years, and a program that went to 5 bowl games in 6 years; into a program that won just ONE Div I-A game this year...and lost to a Div I-AA team last year
Wow. Needless to say Auburn fans are in revolt. However Aubbies yall are the ones that started the road to this insanity. The Auburn situation should be a lesson to fan bases everywhere.
Now this Coach might be great but a few thoughts-
THE BLACK COACHES LOBBY IS GOING TO GO BONKERS and perhaps they have a point as to this hire. I really wonder if the Powers that be were thinking about this when they made this hire. The fall out on this point will then spread to the rest of the SEC well we will have some guilt by association. THE FACT THAT TURNER GILL (who ESPN is announcing and making sure everyone knows has a white wife) was not hired and this guy was-- well there is going to be hell to pay. It is not going to be pretty and some Alabama papers are making subtle hints at this today. Just wait till the National media and Cowheard and Rome and others get on board. We will all have to deal with that fallout
As someone who is also a Louisiana Tech fan perhaps I did not realize how close perhaps now they were looking at Dooley in light of this hire
Well as usual good luck new Coach (except) against LSU . Good luck to the fan base that in a major way created this situation

I really feel sorry for this guy. It makes the situation with the fan base that Coach Mile sof LSU walked into look like a stroll in the freakin park
