Re: Breaking News: Gene Chizik fired!

I told everyone in the post-game thread to check the Sunday paper obituaries and you will see that Gene Chiziks job and Auburn football has died. Cause of death: An hour long mauling by Saban and Co.

Breaking News: Gene Chizik fired!

You'll get no gloating over this from me. Never like to see anyone lose a job. Particularly since other families' Income is tied to this. Leoffler & VanGorder just moved their families and now here they go again. No love for Auburn, but from a human side I feel for them. Not to mention Chizik losing his mother in the midst of all this.

But the coaching profession being what it is, I know they'll all land on their feet somewhere.

Meanwhile, SNASS

That makes two *u coaches to get the axe since Coach Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa. Both being shutout by the Tide during their last game.

Re: Breaking News: Gene Chizik fired!

Not to many coaches are going to survive at Auburn when they lose two years in a row to Bama by a combined score of 91-14. Best of luck to Chizik. He may be a grade A dufus, but I think he's actually a decent human being. Hopefully he lands on his feet somewhere

Great! No more commercials with Chizik riding around around in a Ford truck saying war eagle and hauling tp around.

Re: Breaking News: Gene Chizik fired!

The article said that all assistants were fired by Jacobs, but could reapply to whoever is named as the next head coach.

I saw a comment on there that some of them wanted Trooper to replace Chizik. Silly barners.....

Yep, I have to agree.. My Dad lost his job of over 25 years last week due to the union strike on Hostess. He is near retirement age and will looking for a job in a tough market weeks before Christmas.
