Would be a good move for Patterson, who I would assume keep Auburn's tradition of running the ball very much alive.

Dammit! I'd hate to see this cat leave TCU.

You fire a coach with the knowledge that there is a better coach available. With that said, who is Auburn looking at that would truly be condidered better than Tubs? I think Patterson is a good coach, but I can't see how he could be considered better than Tubs. It may work out for the best but I am not getting Auburn and Tennessee.

considered, sorry

Hellen from Keller - has Auburn contacted you about the opening?

I think Auburn should be going for the Buffalo coach, Leach, or Boise State's coach

No GB, the kids couldn't get with the braille playbooks.

supposedly Auburn hired some dude from Iowa St.

Worse coaching search I have ever seen. Fire one of the top coaches the school has ever had to, get every coach who can spell their name rumored for the job and then hire a coach with a losing record. Recruiting in the entire south is picking up because of the rise of several teams who haven't been major players in a while. The 3 or 4 years Auburn loses because of a bad coach could keep them down for a long time and end up with Ole Miss replacing them in the SEC pecking order.

Whoa! You may be on to something there.

Haha, "Chizik hired as Auburn's next coach" is right next to "Patterson talking to Auburn."

You won as many games as "Chiz in my Pants" this year, didn't you?

New Source: Patterson laughing at Auburn about hiring Chizik

And the next head coach at Iowa State will be laughing at Auburn for firing him too!

Hey, 5 and 19 is pretty good!!! Kind of reminds me of the Jets firing Pete Carroll to hire Rich Kotite.
