Rivals.com says that's a wrap ...

So Rivals.com, the national organization, is reporting that Gene Chizik will be the next coach at Auburn.

Here is the link: Rivals.com

Here is the first sentence:
Iowa State's Gene Chizik will be the next Auburn coach, Rivals.com has learned.

Here is the number of sources used in Rivals.com's report: Zero.

**Bryan Matthews, who runs the Auburn-themed Rivals.com site, hasn't yet corroborated his national organization's conclusion or information.

Hornet said...: I've been to every sports website I can think of looking for one of them to tell me that we're wrong.....is this really happening?; 3:10 PM
Adam and April said...: Well, if they weren't worried about winning the press conference, then mission accomplished.; 3:10 PM
tigerfan44 said...: I said its great to be an Auburn Tiger.; 3:10 PM
Will said...: I used to drink to stop the shakes....now I'll drink to ease the pain of this hire, and to stop the shakes.

In all honesty, we get to bitch about this today, but after he's announced, he's our guy. We don't have to agree with the decision, but we do have to get behind the guy we have chosen. Would you rather be UAT fans?; 3:11 PM
Unknown said...: I think I now understand the hiring process. It is based upon a southpart episode.

A "South Park" episode, of all things, has yielded some investing insight. Its underpants gnomes have built a business based on "Phase One: Collect underpants. Phase Three: Profit." Look around your portfolio and you might discover some similar firms missing that critical element: Phase Two.

I do believe we are missing that Phase Two. Just replace "Collect underpants" with "Hire Chizik" and "Profit" with "Win National Championship".

It all makes sense now.; 3:11 PM
BinOBA said...: i support phreds sentiment 100%

positivism,n. A philosophy that denies our knowledge of the real and affirms our ignorance of the apparent.

This is an ambrose bierce definition, not a jab at anyone, just a mood i've been put into.; 3:11 PM
AUfan said...: Eddie, stay in Walt Disney World, the happiest place on earth. Don't come to Auburn, the saddest, most disgusted place on earth. What a nightmare.; 3:11 PM

WRB3 said...: Hey,

Has anyone seen that press conf. with Jacobs introducing Chizik as our HC? No? Me either.

So maybe (please, please, please)there is still hope.; 3:11 PM
WRB3 said...: By the way, has anyone (PMarsh, Rivals, etc) given a legit source for this info?

Has there been anything AT ALL from ISU to corroborate any of this?; 3:13 PM
ron mexico said...: unbelievable....

if i was to make a list of potential candidates... gene chizik would be number 30; 3:13 PM
Monica said...: She's a Duke grad. Better take it in tact. Fear not, Greg provideth from his "cellar".; 3:13 PM
Romberry said...: While Gene Chizik isn't my first (or second, third, fourth or fifth) choice to take over at AU, deciding what he can accomplish at AU based on what he's done at Iowa State may not lead to a sound conclusion. AU isn't Iowa State.

I'd much rather have a Turner Gill, Gary Patterson, Chris Peterson or (especially) Paul Johnson. But if Chizik is it, I'll do my best to keep an open mind and give him a chance. He was certainly a hot commodity following his stints as DC at AU and Texas. And if he'd stayed at Texas and was coming in to AU from his spot as DC there with one NC under his belt and another shot at the BCS NC only a defensive stop of Michael Crabtree in the final seconds of the TT game away, how would you feel about him then?

I recall that a great many fans of AU were none too happy to see Chizik leave for Texas. And Tommy Tuberville must have thought a lot of him and also must have had confidence in his ability to recruit, otherwise he would not have brought him in as DC at AU to begin with.

Bottom line: Don't judge Chizik on his record at Iowa State. That would potentially be the same mistake a lot of Bammer fans made with respect to Gene Stallings (27-45-1 as head coach at Texas A&M, 23-34-1 as head coach of the NFL's Cardinals) and we all know how that worked out.

Take a breath. Relax. What will be, will be.; 3:14 PM
AU fan in MN said...: tell me this is all a bad dream... please!; 3:14 PM
Quitstina said...: Since Philip Marshall is pretty much an AU mouthpiece and Jay said it looked like this was a go. It, well, looks pretty grim.; 3:15 PM
Monica said...: it's just all bizarre

Greg said this is our "first" coach- he's our Zook. The next one will be our Urban Myer.

(doesn't make me feel any better either); 3:15 PM
wtc said...: I just "Chizik"ed in my mouth. I will continue to Love Auburn, BUT it will be in spirit...not in funding. JJ , JG, and BL should move to Chicago. They would be at home with all the other corrupt imbeciles. A sad day for AU!; 3:15 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm out for the nite. taking the wife on a date. clear my head. maybe ice skate over into the tennessee river. who knows....

atlantatiger said...: the worst hire i have ever seen...everyone is laughing at us..; 3:16 PM
Unknown said...: Great post Roman. We all need to settle down and react to facts rather than rumors. Judge Chizik by what he does at Auburn if he really is the new HC.; 3:16 PM
WRB3 said...: If we wanted a Zook, I bet we could have had the original model. Would have been a better choice.; 3:17 PM
Quitstina said...: If they pay him more than they did Tubs...OMG I cant think about this anymore...; 3:17 PM

Now this! Amazing.; 3:17 PM

Glad to see that we're on the same page, though.

Holy Crap! Phase two better include, as some mentioned earlier, Ashton Kutcher and the un-firing of Tommy Tuberville.; 3:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Something tells me that Chizik is the only one that would play ball with the PTB. Did all the others know better than to do so?

I didn't post this during the season b/c it's against my fan morals to do so. It doesn't matter now so here goes: I have heard from 2 completely unrelated folks(starting after 2006,) that CTT repeatedly fought against hidden interferences and unfulfilled promises for improvements. The Duck Hunt was CTT move to try to get what he had been promised. This year more promises were withdrawn.

Go read the national press/opinions: They already think we're nuts for firing CTT. The folks in the know, nationally, will find what happened with this hiring better than we will. How much opinion will they dare to spill?; 3:19 PM
Monica said...: Mrs. my Greg is the bestest man ever (except for your man of course). He would make such a great coach. He's just way to smart to take the job.; 3:19 PM
WRB3 said...: Steve, I love ya man, but seriously, WHAT are you smoking that brings on this euphoria? And can you send some out to the rest of us? I want some of that.; 3:19 PM

riskman108 said...: Tell the protest kids to get ready!!!; 3:22 PM
atlantatiger said...: Maybe i will call Turner for them if they need me to. It wouldn't be to hard for us to get him here....HE WOULD BE THE CHOICE; 3:22 PM

Monica said...: The lead protest kid, Taylor, said this on his facebook:
guys, i hope this is wrong with all my heartl however if he is hired we still have to support him as our coach

he's way more mature than i am at the point; 3:26 PM

This is not happening.; 3:28 PM
barkley for governor said...: Greg Anthony works for CBS now? That's awesome.; 3:28 PM

If they hire Gill they'll get the best of both worlds.; 3:28 PM

it's hopeless much like auburn until we get rid of these idiots in charge over there...; 3:29 PM

tigerfan44 said...: Alright no more negative thoughts. Just think how good our defense was with him. That's only good I can think of though.; 3:29 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I think Tony Franklin drugged everyone before he left. Tubs was high and decided that life would be simpler no coaching, so he quit to go home and make a garden. JJ and Googoo were stoned out of their mind and thought giving Tubs 5.2 million was a good idea, weather he quit or not, then everyone got together, got baked, and made the most ridiculous coach search ever, then accidentally hired Chizik because someone told them that he was really Pete Carrol and they couldn't see the difference.; 3:29 PM
barkley for governor said...: Wow, it's really sad when Iowa State fans are glad you took their coach.; 3:30 PM
WRB3 said...: No Ron, say it ain't so man.

I refuse to believe this.; 3:30 PM
WRB3 said...: Didn't someone state earlier that ISU had a D this year ranked below 100?; 3:30 PM

Later hotties.

It's great to be an Auburn Tiger.
Just keep saying it guys.; 3:32 PM

WRB3 said...: I bet we didn't offer it.; 3:32 PM
atlantatiger said...: Jay Jacobs has got to go. He really does. I am furious. I will not be giving my contribution this year. I would rather give that money to The Atlanta Falcons.; 3:33 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mon-
It means our athletic director is not intelligent, unless NO ONE would take the job.; 3:33 PM
barkley for governor said...: That was from ESPN....This was a slam dunk!; 3:33 PM
Unknown said...: I can't say I am not surprised that Chizik would be the choice, although I can also see why. Fans tend to judge coaches based upon very little information.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Auburn wasn't able to attract a top notch coach after the ways we treated Dye, Bowden, and Tuberville. As Jay mentioned, we don't look good on a national scale to coaches.

This was also very true of Alabama after Bryant. It was assumed that Bama fans would not be content and that coaching careers would turn to caca. Even Stallings wilted under the pressure.

The Auburn family created this situation. It is now up to the Auburn family to make the best of the situation by not bashing our own head coach or athletic director. That simply continues the poor reputation that Auburn has developed.; 3:34 PM

WRB3 said...: Thanks Kristina, that's a pretty picture. I'm still upright and thinking straight, just not ready to accept this without something really official. Like Chizik at podium with AU hat on.

Romberry said...: Statement from Iowa State University Athletic Director Jamie Pollard

“Gene (Chizik) confirmed for me today that he is accepting the head coaching position at Auburn. I’m disappointed for our Iowa State fans and student-athletes that he has chosen to leave our program after only two seasons. I understand that it (Auburn) is a dream job for him, but the timing and the way it played out has been hurtful and disappointing. Although this is a significant set back, we will get through the challenge because the Iowa State University athletics program is far greater than one person.”

Looks official to me.; 5:44 PM
