I’m Sorry Coach

We think Coach Chizik has done one hell of a job.

Thinking about Auburn’s situation 3 years ago and our coaching hire, I was not far removed from the fan that booed Jay Jacobs as he emerged with our new Coach Gene Chizik.    Now as he begins his 4th year on the Plains I thought it was worth taking a look at his first three years to see where we are as a program.

First, let me say I was wrong.  On a lot of accounts.  My logic was sound but there were obviously things there I failed to see.

What has Chizik actually accomplished in three years:

1) National Championship.  The magnitude of this can’t be denied.  Pat Dye tried in vain for 12 years.  Tommy Tuberville came close but had no cigar to show.  Shug Jordan only managed it once.  Some of us honestly thought we’d die without ever getting the chance to witness a national title at Auburn.  Now we won’t.

Did Auburn Fail at Recruting?

In our opinion while certainly not the best recruiting ever, Chizik and Auburn filled some outstanding needs in 2012.

Depending on who you listen to, Auburn either under achieved or failed miserably at recruiting this year.  We tend to disagree, on both counts.

Not every kid is looking for “immediate playing time” as the primary reason to commit.  If they were, Alabama wouldn’t land any big time recruits.

Did Auburn miss on some big names they were after, without a doubt.  However,  it can’t be called a complete failure when they did land a 4 star DB, 2 4 Star LBs, and a 4 star DT.  Auburn is loaded at DE now as it is, and they satisfied a need filling players at every other spot.  Yes, we all wanted Goldman, and yes we wanted Kwon.  We missed.  It happens.

Thoughts Week 11 – Aww f@#$ It!

Lee Corso cursing on live TV somehow exemplify's Auburn's Season this year.

Lee Corso set the tone.

Auburn…

- Auburn hasn’t played this season.  I didn’t go to any games, so I can’t be sure that what I’ve seen on TV wasn’t some fancy PIXAR presentation.

- I saw Auburn play four games last year.  I know Cam Newton exists.  Whether or not he’s a cyborg is a different topic.

- Because Auburn isn’t playing this season, the Iron Bowl must not be happening next week.

College Football…

- Robert Griffin III is the best player in college football.  Baylor?  BAYLOR?  I mean, come on.  We talkin’ bout Baylor.  Baylor.

- Trent Richardson is going to win the Heisman.

- Alabama is going to have the easiest path to the BCSCG.

- LSU may or may not beat Arkansas and Georgia.
