Timing not good for Chizik at Auburn

Timing not good for Chizik at Auburn

I’m sure Gene Chizik is a fine fellow and there is no question that he did a good job as defensive coordinator at Auburn (2002-04) and at Texas (2005-06). I wish him the best as the new head coach at Auburn.
Having said all that, I have a bad, bad feeling about the future of the football program at Auburn University.
Understand that success for the head coach at Auburn has always been a function of timing.
Ralph “Shug” Jordan came in 1951 when Alabama was in an up-and-down phase under Harold “Red” Drew. In 1957 he led the Tigers to their first and only national championship. Good timing.
