RunInRed 16,360 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We need more models of what it means to be a man. And a father. Coach Chizik is a great example of both. Chiz offers some sound advice and good ideas for dads in this guest article, which just hit USA Today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/06/16/gene-chizik-father-leave-college-football-coaching-family/403115001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Is Bowden the only coach that coach at Auburn that hasn't returned to live there since the Shug days? Shug retired and stayed, Barfield stayed, Dye, tater tot left, Tuberville is back (although on Lake Martin), Chizik is back, and Gus is still current. That's a great testament of the Community.

au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 What business does he own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,402 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Good read and great advice. There are too many hours required by too many employers for many men who would give almost anything to be able to do what Gene Chizik has done. Thank you coach for your contribution to the "memory tattoos" Auburn fans now have from 2010. There are quite a few to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausaxman 27 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I've heard that he owns Louie's in Opelika. I'm sure that's just a drop in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Wow. It went as long as 12 posts for someone to bash Chizik. Time heals all wounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
