What do you think of Chizik's hires?

If your answer is "Will be satisfied if...." go ahead and leave your info. Waiting on a certain DL coach or OL coach?

I voted pretty satisfied because we have not seen any actual results from them as Auburn coaches. I would say extremely satisfied if they are able to pull in some top recruits on signing day. That's why I voted between extremely and will be satisfied if...

I elect to withhold my vote until the staff is completely filled out.

That said, I'm not upset by any means.

That's how I voted and it has more to do with, I'll be satisfied if we put a solid team on the field next year. I think he's done a good job with the hires, but that doesn't mean jack if you can't win football games.

I'm satisfied with the hires so far. However, I would lean to being VERY happy if we made splashes at the OL and DL and DB positions. I have a feeling that the "splashes" have already been made with Malzahn and Trooper and Luper. I really would love to have a bang up Offensive line coach and the same for the DB's and DL. WOnder if he's going to hire a tight end coach as well?

Boulware is going to be the special teams and TE coach.

I did not want Tuberville gone. I thought we should have given him another year. Now looking back, I am of the opinion that if he wasnt going to get rid of 1-2 of his staff, then we were nver going to be consistent.

I really wanted CTG. I think most of us did. The decision process kind of inhaled.

CGC is going nuts with the staff. Far better than I thought it would be. I am excited again for AU. Only the DC and DL picks so far even or substantial upgrades.

Rhoads and Dunn were first class. I still dont have a good grasp on Roof and Spencer.

I guess I'm not as easily impressed as some. I'll wait until the staff has been completed and see how they do in Feb with the recruiting class.

Last night's MNC game should drive home the need for perrenial recruiting and it's quite clear that UF has an inherent advantage in the SEC, and thus the MNC race. Those teams were L-O-A-D-E-D with top drawer talent. Among the group I watched the MNC game with, we couldn't think of a single AU player, other than maybe Marks, that could start for either of those teams. Very disheartening to think about the next few seasons ahead, but "War Eagle" anyway.

Thus far, Malzahn, Taylor, and the retention of Willis are the most positive signs, IMO, with Taylor representing the only upgrade to recruiting. Not saying they're bad, just not the upgrade that was undoubtedly needed.
