At Auburn, Chizik an acquired taste

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The mood was apoplectic on the Auburn message boards, even worse on talk radio. At breakfast joints on the plains the language was saltier than the hash browns. Then there were the Alabama fans who just couldn’t help themselves but snicker.
Auburn had done fired Tommy Tuberville only to hire Gene Chizik?

The guy had won five times in two seasons at Iowa State. He arrived on a 10-game losing streak. As a recruiter, he’d put together two classes ranked in the 60s nationally (perfectly average in college football’s 120-team top division).
