Where is Auburn on that list?
Is Chizik out or what? You guys need to get on the phone with Charlie Strong yesterday.
If Florida wins out, they're going to a BCS Bowl game. They won't get passed by a two loss SEC team, especially since they beat LSU this season.
By all accounts, Chiz is gone, but the AD is thought to have saved his job by sucking and begging in backrooms --- Expect Auburn to hire a bum
And Jimbo Fischer is still the leading candidate, based off all the rumors I've heard. Not quite a bum, but he is a guy who is known as a top-notch recruiter but a suspect coach.
Sounds Familiar.......................................... .FML
of course, they're just rumors. I still expect Auburn to hire a nobody coordinator from the Ohio Valley Conference
Yep, it's come to that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can't decide which is the best job
Tennessee <> Auburn job > Arkansas
Arkansas isn't even in a conversation between the three
Tennessee may be slightly better, but only because they don't have a major compe or in their state (LOL Vandy)
But Auburn has more $ and far more fertile recruiting grounds.
Facilities are a wash (Auburn has much better practice/weight/Locker room facilities while Tenn has a bigger stadium)
Auburn is also more broken and has a less forgiving fanbase. So I suppose overall its Tennessee. (Although, believe it or not, AU probably has more talent on their team, despite the record...At least according to the last 3 recruiting classes)
Loved seeing Auburn people leave the stadium at halftime again. They're smart and realize what kind of message it sends.
Agree on the arkansas part. Would NOT want that job. I said on the rant that Auburn was the best available job. Only downside is Saban's dynasty in the state.
Rofl. , Auburn hates Bama.
Brutalis
Killer burn bro. You got me!!!!
Will Collier just destroyed Auburn in this article, and rightfully so. The meat of it lies below, but the whole thing is at the link. Somebody Finally had the cojones to say these things in print.

Auburn is suffering from a failure of leadership at every level. President Jay Gogue continues to dither, offering only an anodyne press release and acting as if he'd rather just muddle through until his own retirement with as little actual effort as possible. Gogue's well-known dislike for firing subordinates and unwillingness to make difficult decisions is harming both the athletic department and the university as a whole.Gogue and his predecessors failed to reform the athletic department when they had the opportunity. Too many people in power at Auburn still wish the department could be what it was in the 1970's: A sleepy office that prints tickets, books travel and provides cushy sinecures for old buddies and former teammates.
A prime example is Jay Jacobs, who never had any business being athletic director. Jacobs was chosen over the vastly more qualified Dan Radakovich (who was later hired by Georgia Tech and more recently Clemson) and Greg McGarity (now athletic director at Georgia) and Scott Etheridge, who had a business background that puts Jacobs' time in Auburn's ticket and fundraising operations to shame. There's a big difference between doing business in a compe ive marketplace and just cashing priority "donation" checks.
In any sane organization, Jacobs would have finished a distant fourth out of that group. In Auburn's case, Jacobs parlayed personal relationships and fear of change within the department (and myriad would-be Jerry Joneses among Auburn's power brokers) into a job that he proceeded to run into the ground.
A perhaps even more perfect example is Jacobs' longtime co-worker and BFF Tim Jackson, who ran the AU ticket office for many years in which that office earned a reputation for incompetence and poor customer relations. By all accounts, the at ude of that office was a reflection of its leadership.For reasons few can justify, Jacobs elevated Jackson from a position where he was already doing a poor job into one where he could do actual damage. Jackson, who deems himself Auburn's "general manager" for football, participates in interviews for coaching positions (notably including the one when Chizik was hired) and exerts authority over player discipline and other matters that are the proper purview of the head coach. Jackson is also widely believed to be responsible for the abrupt departures of both current Florida head coach Will Muschamp and David Marsh, the most successful college coach in the history of the state of Alabama.
For all the ire directed at Jacobs and Jackson, though, they're just the most public examples of the overall long-simmering dysfunction in the Auburn athletic department. Until and unless the university's leadership starts treating that department like what it is -- a $100 million business and the public face of the university for most of the country -- we'll see fiascoes like this continuing to happen in every sport.
