The dominoes have already started to fall since Auburn hired Gene Chizik as its head coach on Saturday.
Chizik informed all of Auburn's assistants under Tommy Tuberville to look for new employment late Sunday night, according to AuburnSports.com and the Birmingham News.
Surprisingly, James Willis was in that group. Willis recruited tirelessly, even once Tuberville was out, and seemed like the odds on favorite to be retained by the new staff. He wasn't. And one of his major recruits -- four-star Fort Meade, Md., quarterback Raymond Cotton -- decommitted as a result, Rivals.com reported. It doesn't sound like Auburn has a good chance of getting him back.
Cotton was the seventh decommit for Auburn since Tuberville resigned.
Press conference today at 1 p.m. CST. I'll have an update afterward.

Wow, Chizik is going for all or nothing. Pretty crappy, and maybe very dumb, to release all these guys. Maybe he should have kept some of the better recruiters and defensive coaches around.
He better not bring in guys that were with him at Iowa State.
If he doesn't hire a solid OC soon we're going to see plenty of the offensive guys start to waiver and look at other schools.
