I just hope he coaches better than he pronounces the name of our Institution of higher learning. "University of Auburn"? Sheesh

Not entirely his fault, he was just repeating what he heard Auburn called when he was at UF and also when interviewing with saban a few years ago. Someone should have prepped him a little better on it, but I'm sure getting into town with the weather was a little whirlwind (understatement - no pun intended).

That, and the fact that he's worked/played at:

The University of Michigan
The University of Florida

He'll get that taken care of in a matter of minutes around here. LOL

CGC has made his choice for OC, and I don't think he is going to announce he has changed his mind!

So either support the decision (I've heard ALL IN somewhere around here) or join the dark side.

War Eagle!!!

Can't find it to link to the post but I believe his red zone production was superlative, goes back to tight end, fullback and blocking.
Suspect it also reflects a respectable passing game. I think if CSL can produce the impact plays that StatTiger has emphasized in previous posts we will be in good shape.

Little doc

CBS Sports has these stats on their web site. Temple's Red Zone stats for 2011 were not much different from Auburn's. However, Temple's 3rd Down Conversion stats were very impressive.

Overall, I like the hire. CSL seems like a very good quarterback coach, and we needed that. He does not have a lot of history as an OC, but the fact he has been a QB coach forever suggests he is well prepared to be a good OC.

I expect lots of formations, more basic, smash mouth running, more ball control passing, and less razzle-dazzle.

I think CSL's philosophy will be similar to Al Borges'. A pro-style offense which is adapted to the talent on hand. This may be what Chizik was looking for.

First post here...followed Stat over from another site. As is his habit, Stat has brought sanity to a world where little existed...great hire by CGC. Let me correct that, great HIRES by CGC! Now let's go play a little smash mouth!

That's what I'm talking about!

No drawers in a wad here, but I've never known a single AU grad or fan that refers to AU in that way. Only our rivals trying to start stuff say that. Facts is fact, we are the Tigers! War Eagle is our battle cry, so calling AU folks War Eagles makes zero sense. That's all I'm saying....

Auburn is also known as "The Loveliest Village on The Plains," but that is incorrect. "Plains" should not be plural. It is, in fact, "Plain." But after a while, folks forget all that and just use "Plains." Same thing with the War Eagles stuff. But, no harm, no foul. Just go with it. It's all cool.

I go back along time and when Pat Sullivan won the Heisman. I went to school with his favorite receiver Terry Beasey. Our families knew each other. I am an Old AUBURN FAN from the 60's. NCAA made them choose one or the other. I never had the opportunity to go there, It was my dream. The Military changed all that. I retired after 41 years. Love me some TIGERS/WAR EAGLES just kick that tide butt..
