Gene Chizik Booed By Auburn Fans Upon Arrival At Airport
FanIQ Blog —
Gene Chizik was admittedly a pretty strange hire by Auburn. Even though he was Auburn's D-coordinator from '02-04, and Texas' D-coordinator from '05-'06, he went a miserable 5-19 as head coach of Iowa State these past two seasons, and it never looked like he was coming close to turning the Cyclones around.
Naturally, some Auburn fans aren't real pleased about the hire. So much so that they showed up at the local airport in Auburn so they could boo Chizik...the instant he got off the plane. Man, that's some quick work, Auburn fans. Although, in all honesty, I can't ...
Everybody Hates Gene Chizik
FanHouse —
by Brian Cook Filed under: Auburn, Iowa StateRight: Track 'Em Tigers reacts to the Chizik hire. It's been clear that the people running Auburn's athletic department were kind of petulant little babies for a while now -- ever since the Petrino planegate fiasco -- but the extent was unknown until Tommy Tubberville was fired or forced out or resigned or whatever and Auburn didn't immediately hire Brian Kelly or Paul Johnson. Submitted as a rule: if you're Auburn and you're going to can a guy who's won six of seven versus Alabama and has the kind of record Tubby has, you had better reel in an ...
Possibly Not The Chizik Family’s Favorite YouTube Video Of All Time
Can't Stop The Bleeding —
Auburn’s surprising decision to name Gene Chizik to succeed Tommy Tuberville struck some — perhaps those unimpressed by Chizik’s role as Texas’ defensive coordinator during the Longhorns’ 2005 title run — as a curious move, particularly in light of Chizik’s struggles at Iowa State the past two seasons.
Still, it’s one thing to scoff at Chizik’s hiring. It’s another entirely to turn up at an airstrip to heckle Auburn AD Jay Jacobs as he disembarks from a private jet.

Gene Chizik, meet Auburn's finest torches and pitchforks
Dr. Saturday —
Remember Nick Saban's initial arrival at Alabama, and contrast that wit the welcoming party that met Jay Jacobs Saturday after he'd finalized Gene Chizik as Auburn's new coach:
It's been downhill from there, beginning with Kevin Scarbinsky's preemptive obituary for the Chizik era for the Birmingham News:
One former SEC assistant heard the news and laughed out loud.
One former Auburn assistant who worked alongside Chizik reacted with stunned silence.
One college football insider who knows both the current Alabama boss and the man Auburn has chosen to battle him said Chizik is a good coach -- ...
A Couple Losers Heckle Gene Chizik & Jay Jacobs At Auburn Airport
The Critical Fanatic —
There's definitely a large portion of the Auburn fan base that is unhappy with Auburn's decision to go with Gene Chizik as its next football coach. A few of those disgruntled Tigers fans had nothing better to do yesterday than to head out ot the airport and greet athletic direcotor Jay Jacobs and Chizik upon their arrival.
And by greet, I mean heckle, harrass and boo. Sad.
Listen as one loser demands the he "wants a leader, not a loser." Another points out the 5-19 record and what a loser this he is.
Uh, guys. You went out of your way to your new football coach at a local airport with a ...
Gene Chizik wins Auburn Job Over Greg Robinson
Three Idiots on Sports —
Auburn AD Jay Jacobs named Iowa State Head Coach Gene Chizik as his new head football coach. Gene comes to Auburn after two years in Iowa and a Robinsonian-like 5-19 record. Something tells me this is not going to play well in the heat of SEC country. Just for giggles: Chizik at ISU: 5-19 GRob at Cuse: 10-37 While Greggers is looking for the nearest UHaul rental agency, Gene-o turns his body of work into a $2 million dollar promotion. Jay, you knew it was only a matter of time. Think Auburn fans aren't passionate? Well nothing says "passion" (or borderline ...
Auburn Fans Aren’t Too Happy With the Gene Chizik Hiring
Larry Brown Sports —
... coordinator at Auburn from ‘02-’04 (including the 13-0 season), but what was so special about the Texas defense he led the two years after that? If I remember correctly, it was the Vince Young-led offense that was so impressive, not the Longhorns defense. And then at Iowa State, going 3-9 and 2-10? How is that a sign of doing a good job? I’m just left here scratching my head, as apparently were many Auburn fans. Check out the greeting they gave athletic director Jay Jacobs when he returned from signing Chizik. ...

Auburn Hires Gene Chizik; Big 12, SEC Laugh Together [College Football]
Deadspin —
Later today Auburn will introduce Iowa State coach Gene Chizik as their replacement for Tommy Tuberville. Yep, the same Gene Chizik who went 5-19 in two seasons at Iowa State. He also led the Cyclones to a robust 0-8 mark in the Big 12 this season. Oh, and he didn't play Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahoma this year. But maybe I'm being unkind. After all, Chizik did beat Kent State and South Dakota State this year. Of course he lost 10 consecutive games after those wins. So, yeah, Auburn fans are pretty much fucked. How do you make Dan Mullen and Lane Kiffin look like Bear Bryant? You hire Gene Chizik. In today's world perception becomes ...
Only The Best For AU
Complain In Vain —
Now, you might have seen a video that’s been floating around of newly hired Auburn football coach Gene Chizik arriving on the plains to a less than enthusiastic welcoming party. If not, you can click here for that video . However, we were able to locate another video out there - we think from Toomer’s Corner - of some other Tiger fans actually cheering on their new coach. Oops, we need to make a correction. This is actually video from Ames, Iowa, where Cyclone fans were celebrating the fact that they would not have to fire their coach and pay him any buy-out money.
No More Auburn. It is Now Chizikstan.
The Hog Tale —
Because I've got nothing good today from Razorback nation, I'm turning my sights towards Auburn (as are a lot of folks) with the hiring of Gene Chizik. Yes, you heard right, and you should be shaking in your boots just like the rest of the SEC is with this hiring. Gene Chizik should send chills down your spine. I know Bama is scared. Saban is worried. And Auburn fans love Gene Chizik and A.D. Jay Jacobs. Just see how much they love Jacobs in this video... ...
Charles Barkley Comments on Auburn Hiring Gene Chizek: It’s About Race
Midwest Sports Fans —
We will take a quick step outside of the immediate realm of Midwest sports for a story that is interesting and thought-provoking no matter what area of the country you live in.
Charles Barkley has made his feelings known about his alma mater hiring Gene Chizek, and Sir Charles is none too pleased. I can’t say I fault him one bit for his displeasure, but more on that in a second.
First, the comments of Charles Barkley, as reported by ESPN.com:
“I think race was the No. 1 factor. You can say it’s not about race, but you can’t compare the two resumes and say [Chizik] deserved the job. Out of ...
The uglier side of the coaching carousel…
Gate 21 —
Well, in case you were so overcome with joy at the news that “Kiffin the Elder” (a/k/a “The Full Monte”) would be joining Coach Kiffin next Fall in Knoxville—and I can completely understand why you might be—the news out of Auburn is much less pleasant.
Apparently, “War Eagles” are cannibals because at present, the Auburn Tigers are voraciously eating their own…
First of all, I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not purporting to offer any thoughts on whether Gene Chizik was a good hire from a “football” perspective. ...
'Tis The Season Of Bad Hires
The Redshirt Señior —

War Chizik? War Hawkeye State
Mac Gs World —
Auburn fans are pissed Gene Chizik was selected over my man, former Husker great, current Buffalo coach Turner Gill. Iowa State fans are happy to cut an overwhelmed Chizik loose from their lowly program and this guy brings out the knife to Chizik's Cyclown tenure in Lames USA. Hey Cyclown AD, Jamie Pollard, let me give you a few tips. Iowa will forever be the Hawkeye State, know your place in the pecking order and do not mess with karma by forcing Hawkeye fans to buy Iowa State season tickets so they can watch the Hawks at your crap stadium. I am not fooled by your ...

The Old Ball Coach (TOBC) was the reason I bought that South Carolina hat in Columbia for $25 bucks, and the reason I started telling people where the "real" USC was. TOBC is an original.

New Coaches Find Early Success
Cubicle GM —
After months of off-season trash talk between Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer, college football pundits and fans alike were predicting a beat down of epic proportions when Tennessee took on Florida in Gainesville this past weekend; the official spread from Vegas florida shirts was even a large 30 points. Yet the Vols were able to keep it respectable, even close. And while no coach or player would ever admit to a “moral victory,” the 23-13 loss against Florida was exactly that, a moral victory. Tennessee didn’t have the talent to outright beat Florida at home – most teams don’t. But by keeping the final outcome respectable Kiffin was able to walk out of the Swamp with his ...
