TigerDevil 3 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 If Chizik leaves who do we get? I would have gone after Tyrone Nix at So. Miss, but Steve Spurrier got him. The guy at Troy, Vic Koenning, but NC State got him. So who is left. I say go after an NFL guy. Auburn gave Chizik $300,000/yr, I don't think most schools are willing to pay an assistant that much. I think CTT has a proven record of bringing in top notch assistants, Petrino, Chizik and Borges to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydubb121 22 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I will be just as puzzled over Gene Chizik "going pro" as I would have been had Anthony Mix declared himself eligible for the draft. Unless he just has the absolute obsession with coaching in the NFL I think he will stay at Auburn. He knows the type of defense we will have next year and with the offense supposedly not being as productive he should know his stock will only rise. To take a position assistant job just to be in the NFL seems similar to a lateral move on the coaching food chain. Since we know AU can make the money comparable I've got my fingers crossed that GC follows MM and AM by declaring his loyalty to Auburn(for at least one more season, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgr4lfe 220 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Opelika/Auburn News reporting CG has interviewed with the Univ. of Texas.??? I think that is crazy to move from Auburn to Texas for the same position. NFL job I could see him being interested in. He is from Florrida. I do hope he stays.

quietfan 233 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 1) I don't think Texas was anything but a case of "What have I got to lose by listening?". Plus, it strengthens his bargaining postion with others--AU or the Jags. I don't see him making a lateral move and I don't think any college can outbid Auburn. 2) Pros? ...maybe, but it won't be for the money. 3) This is all premature speculation, IMHO--I really don't expect him to leave Auburn for anything less than a head coaching job. 4) I'm not even thinking about his replacement yet because I don't expect him to leave. However, should that happen, I'm also not worried because CTT is always going to see that we have a good defense. He's no defensive slouch, himself. Remember: Three MNC's while coaching defense at Miami! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombigbeetiger 223 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 i see him playing ole eddie-boy like a fiddle for a bigger raise.....give it to him eddie, we will not get a DC anywhere as good as gene.....eddie-boy ain't real bright,but he ain't a damn fool,either.....hey, i forgot.....we have an AD,now.......

clantontiger 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I hope he stays, and I think he will. I believe that he is just shopping his name around and listening to offers. He is a hot DC now and it is his time to strike. I think he is posturing for future HC jobs. As much as I hate to say it , Texas has more national exposure than AU and is a higher profile program. They just sent 2 coaches on that staff to HC jobs. So I do not fault him for listening to Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
API50 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 He will get a two year contract worth $290,000/year to stay at Auburn. Texas was paying their DC $205,000 but will most likely up the ante. I see Chizick staying at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why leave for Texas? 138664[/snapback] Other than Oklahoma and Texas Tech, offensively the Big 12 sucks (look at what Tenn's porus defense did to A&M).

It was a Celebrity Jeopardy skit where Norm McDonald played Burt Reynolds, and during the course of the game he changed his name to "Turd Ferguson" because he thought it was funny. "Turd Ferguson, its a funny name" And to make this post somewhat relevant to the topic, I don't think Chizik is going anywhere, at least this year. He'll be a great HC in the future, though.

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 1. Being defensive coordinator for Tubberville is like being offensive coordinator for spurrier. AU's DC could be, say, Mike shula and we'd still have a terrific defense, just because the man in charge (CTT that is) has a rare defensive mind and wouldn't let things go too far astray defensively. 2. Re: the Texas position, consider the Mack Brown angle. Tubbs is probably secure for at least a few years on the AU talent alone. If Chizik aspires to be HC at a major program, Texas might be perfect...if MB doesn't win big...soon...he's gone and if you happen to be the popular DC when Brown gets sacked, well...you're a viable candidate for HC. 3. This annual discussion of which coach is leaving/staying at AU is keeping our recruiting from skyrocketing to what it could be. If I'm a bluechip LB and Chizik is visiting me, I want to know if he's staying or going. AU should use point #1 above to counter recruit concerns re: chizik statying or not.

tiger88 934 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I say we make nall and ensminger co-dc's. Nall can decide if we should play the run or pass and ensminger can call the defense accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatTiger 3,188 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Dave Campo's name has popped up. He's the former DC for the Hurricanes, former DC for the Dallas Cowboys and former HFC at Dallas. He wasn't much of a HFC but one heck of a DC. Tuberville has ties to Camp from their Hurricane days.

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 i would imagine he'd be on the list. i am afraid however that pitt's DC would still be on tubby's list (rhodes is the guy's name i think). he was absolutely awful for pitt this year, but we offered him the job once who says we wouldn't again? i'm just hoping this is all academic and chizik stays to put it to rest.

tiger88 934 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think I would like campo. He's got a lot of knowledge. If I'm not mistaken he had some pretty good defenses when he was hc at dallas, but they had no offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
