Link: Tom Dienhart reports on the Auburn/ Auburn hires Gene Chizik as new football coach

[thunderz7]

JJ would not confirm the hire at the barn airport when interviewed.
On the video from the airport JJ seemed to be in fear of physical harm from the one militant fan.

If Chizik doesn't have his name on the dotted line the barner leadership may leave him out in the cold out of fear of the "revolting" fan base!


Press conference Monday -
closed to the public-
Spurrer named HC -
Chizik named DC-
I'm still waiting for the punchline!

I know Jacobs is the AD at Auburn, but who is he, what where his credentials for the job. I suspect he was some Lowder hand picked lackey from the ticket deparment. What a collosal mess on the Plains.

 

[Drewy26]

Knock knock.


Who’s there?

Owen.


Owen who?

Owen eight in Big 12 play, in a year when they didn’t have Texas, Oklahoma, or Texas Tech on the schedule.

Apt description of the situation.

I had the wierdest dream last night: our biggest rival fires their very successful coach because he had one bad season in 10 and replace him with someone who has won 5 games in 2 years, can't assemble an organized staff, or recruit. When I awoke . . . . Oh Sweet Village on the Plains, you have made this one Christmas we will always treasure!

Yeah, you couldn't pay for these kind of laughs!

Santa came early this year for Bama fans.

 

[Ttown13]

I can't wait to hear Charles Barkley's take on the hire. :biggrin:

"That's turible."

 

[UT4EVER]

Is there any way Jacobs tries to get out of this before the ink is dry? There is no way he could have anticipated this reaction!

Do you think this is Lowder's call?

 

[SavannahDare]

Auburn has made me very happy this year. They've managed to shut up my Auburn-loving husband and now he's seriously considering no longer buying season tickets, which of course saves money, making me even happier! I have suffered far too long having to listen to this man spew his AU bs.....now it's like an implosion has occurred on the plains and I could not be happier.:biggrin:

 

[CullmanTide]

I don't know that if I were a Vol fan I'd be laughing at the barn so much. By the way,who do you think will be running the show Lane or daddy?

 

[NavyTider]

After this hire, it can only be a matter of time before they change their fight song from "War Eagle" to the Benny Hill theme. ::cue trumpets::

Im not judging their hire.... I was just commenting on the fan uproar.

 

[TAGnBAMA]

I say we write and personally thank them. HA

I know that Coach Nick Saban is a tireless recruiter. He is also a remarkable game planner and strategist. But I never thought he could pull off a Jedi Mind Trick like this.

Coach Saban: "Gene Chizik. Nothing else to see here."

Jay Jacobs: "Gene Chizik. Nothing else to see here."

 

[FreeBro]

Don't think this Jedi mind trick will be consumated. The uproar is too great! Aubie friend of mine called Jacob's office number about 5:45 PM Sat and the voice mailbox was already full. He then called the president's office and ripped him a new hole.

This is like the USA developing Star Wars technology (Saban) in the 1980s and the Soviets getting a new tank (Chizik). Yall remember how the Cold War turned out? The walls are crumbling on the Plains. The Evil Empire of Darkness is defeated if they go through with this, this..., this...... oh what would you call this?
