OT -- Chizik fired at Auburn.

[Deano]

I was hoping Auburn would keep him around a few more years so they could continue to suck. Chizik was a joke hire in the first place as he ran Iowa State to the ground prior to coming to Auburn. If it wasn't for the BS recruitment of Newton he would have been gone earlier.

@dennisdoddcbs Gene Chizik will receive at least $156,250 per month for the next 48 months if he doesn't work

Poor guy.

They fired him because they know they bought Newton and that title - without Newton they would have been a 5 win team that year. He was a horrendous hire, and they are being investigated, again.

He was basically a puppet with all this and kept quiet. The Auburn higher ups knew that and main reason they hired him. I'm glad Tubberville stood up to those moron's at Auburn after they tried to hose him.

He is the fall guy for the whole investigation. The funny thing is he was turning his head to some of the booster stuff that was going on while Tuberville tried to keep them out. That is why Tuberville was out and Chizik was in. They wanted a guy they could manipulate but now Tuberville has taken TT to a bowl while Chizik is out of a job. SEC = Seek Everyway to Cheat.

Would love the NCAA to put the SEC on probation since most of those teams have been investigated. State the next team that is caught will lose their TV rights/Bowl rights for 2 years and boosters caught will have any information forwarded to the IRS for further investigation. Screw the lose of scholarships because they will find a way around that by having them on academic scholarships (Walk-ons). Hit the universities where it hurts!!

I am sick and tired of this crap that seems to be looked past but 20 years ago with the Rob Johnson/McCrae they throw the book at them.
