I think if you are a black coach and post a 5-19 record at a BCS school you just aren't going to get another BCS job in a better situation. That said I think they should hired maybe Patterson(TCU) or Kelley(Cincy), and who knows Chizik might be successul. Pete Carroll was not USC first choice either and that has turned out alright.

We seen this at the UofA with Hatfield and Nutt. I wouldn't want to speculate too much about the race card, regardless of what credintials Turner Gill may have. Barkley likes to run his mouth, so that kind of fits right into his personality anyhow. (ala Jessie Jackson of the sports world.) Chizik has proven himself as D-coordinator, but hasn't had enough time to prove what he can do as the HC. Iowa St. isn't exactly the right program in the right conference to be prooving it either. Something tells me the AD at Auburn isn't exactly in charge to begin with. The puppet strings are in full force with this little scenario.

This is sweet but, that would have been too sweet. Talk in some of the Alabama papers was that Bobby Lowder really wanted Nutt. This is sweet but, that would have been too sweet.
