NW had a good year, almost as good as TCU, Boise State, BYU, Ball State and Utah.

Yes Gill could have been the man but when you look at the whole stituation I don't think that him being black or having a white wife had anything to do with him not being hired. That's just CB wanting to get some more face time on TV

Because they are a lesser team and should not be BCS.

Tommy T, I thought MI's boosters would dump their AD after his having allegedly missed the opportunity to steal Les Miles from LSU. But worry not; Rodriguez & Co. will likely be better next year. Sarcastic or not, I think Jim Leavitt would have been a good fit for Auburn, but why should he leave S FL?

If Chizik still maintains an understanding of the SEC, I think he may have lost his understanding of defense. His Cyclones have had 4 TD's or more dropped on em in 10 outta 12 games; 5 TD's or more were scored against em in 8 of those games. I don't see that as a good example of having an understanding of defense.

As far as the Lane Kiffin hiring goes, his success at TN will depend mightily upon how well he maintains a good relationship with his dad, not just as father & son, but as Supervisor & Subordinate. Just my opinion.

I'm amazed he didn't throw his shoes.

I didn't read that anywhere. So, I gots to know, TC. Did it really happen; you got a link; or are you throwing out some wishful thinking? Cause, I think Tubberville could be successful at IA St.

Did ya see what Charles Barklay had to say about it? I don't agree with all of it, but I do agree with most of it. I think Gill could have been the man. What a wasted opportunity!

Geographically, I'd have to disagree. They'd be right on the fringe again. They're well within Big Televen territory now, but on the fringe in the Big 12. Why go to a lesser conference (based upon overall performance) for lesser perks, and still be on the fringe of that conference. IA St needs to be in the Big Televen.

Well then - why is the Michigan AD still there? Should he not be on the highway? I find it pretty hilarious that a Michigan man would get on here and quip about what he thought might be a bad hire. Shoud Auburn go out and get them one of those illustrious Big East coaches, or wait better yet, a MAC coach to come in and learn the SEC on the fly? No, Auburn got a guy who understands what the SEC is. Lane Kiffen is gonna have more trouble getting used to the SEC than Gene Chizik is gonna have. I sure hope that Rich Rodriguez can figure out the Big 10 pretty soon. He seemed to be having even more trouble figuring out how to play defense than offense even. I don't think Chizik will have to worry about figuring out how to play defense though. He'll only have to figure out how to get some offense going.

Wow, what a bad choice. The AD will be gone after next year if Auburn had a record like Tennessee did this year.

Now, that there is some funny funny stuff. After Charles Barkley's comments today...Gee, I wonder...

LOL. The stuff they dream up....

Regarding the heckler at the airport.....I would say that he's slightly displeased with something. Hard to tell what's bothering him though.

Geaux Tigers
Geaux SEC

From the trust source of UTube, Here is the inside scoop on what went down at Auburn.

I think they are a better fit for the MAC.

That's like Pastilong at WVU. The man knows how to hire good coaches, but he hasn't a clue as to how to keep em there.

Right on. I would venture to say that is the exact reason why the Big televen hasn't gotten a 12th team yet. if they do get one it would be much harder to get rid of them should ND ever come out of their NBC BS. But by holding off they could currently take ND at anytime.

LOWDER is the problem. He finally got total control of the AU football program. Auburn needs to rethink the entire program and who is really controlling things. I am proud of AU the school and of being an Alumni; however, LOWDER being in total control now is very sad. Very sad.

Tiger_1995 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:21:06 -0000

Tiger Educated... YOU got it right. The problem with Auburn football is LOWDER. He got who HE wanted in. I went to Auburn and am really sad that a good program is corupted by ONE man.
