Please Point And Laugh In The Direction Of Auburn University
AwfulAnnouncing — ... But no, ESPN reports AD Jay Jacobs will hire a man who is 5-19 in his head coaching career to run an SEC program -- please put the necessary emphasis here, because the piece is based on "sources", not any official word, and I'll happily revoke and apologize for this post if the article it's based on turns out to be complete bunk.

whither chizik and kiffin?
Sports Law Blog — ... when it hired Gene Chizik to replace Tommy Tuberville, despite Chizik’s extremely poor win/loss record at Iowa State and the “passing over” of Turner Gill who has resurrected a football program at the University of Buffalo (and is African American). Still, Auburn is not alone. High profile head football coach positions at Tennessee, Washington, Iowa State, Syracuse and Mississippi State have been filled by white head coaches, most of them unproven neophytes (Washington and Mississippi State replaced terminated African American head coaches). ...
