We all know chizik can coach a defense, but malzahn's spread against SEC defenses is the wildcard.ron mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914841169342926632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-9582384290549857482009-08-13T17:43:14.916-05:002009-08-13T17:43:14.916-05:00Wow, Bitter.

Being from that area, they did not think he was a good coach and were happy to trade him for Auburn's defensive coordinator. <br /><br />Auburn needs to address it's booster problem before it can hope to return to glory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-47124709510854012052009-08-13T15:19:48.182-05:002009-08-13T15:19:48.182-05:00I'd say Mark Richt is on the hottest seat in t...I'd say Mark Richt is on the hottest seat in the SEC right now. Next would be Les Miles. Spurrier? Maybe. The Georgia faithful are starting to grumble about Richts lack of SEC or NCAA titles....if Richt loses to Tech again, it could be all over.<br /><br />As a fan I have to give Chizik a free pass this year especially. I'm not saying AU will stink - but for fans dreaming of another 1993, keep dreaming - I remember that season well, and we won games that year on pure heart and a stingy defense.jdinmaconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-25009698401234921762009-08-13T14:54:12.327-05:002009-08-13T14:54:12.327-05:00I think one of the problems for SI was that it'...I think one of the problems for SI was that it's kind of hard to think of a coach on the hot seat in the SEC.<br /><br />Who would be the leading candidates?

Tate looks a lot like Bostic. We have talent but underwhelmed from the previous year. The team seems strongly committed to each other... we may even have a slow white senior QB, with a slow white Jr. backing him up. I don't think Chizik is on the hot seat. I would think he would have to win 3 games or less for anyone to consider firing him.Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317101841074062563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-62830478180356684892009-08-13T11:39:55.615-05:002009-08-13T11:39:55.615-05:00who knows what will happen this year - remember la...who knows what will happen this year - remember last year there were a lot of people saying we would win the west - riiiiiiiiiiiight. and then there were others that were a lot more pessimistic, and fans ripped them a new a-hole, including me. never know til the games are played.AUburnt2acrisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937711997828950768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-6416015804997856332009-08-13T11:19:36.959-05:002009-08-13T11:19:36.959-05:00.....I would hope that the Auburn faithful would n........I would hope that the Auburn faithful would not want a coach fired after only a single season, unless there is misconduct involved. A half dozen injuries early in the year could spell 3-9, and not even Vince Lombardi would be able to save the season.<br /><br />.....What would happen if Antonio Coleman, Craig Stevens, Walter McFadden, Lee Ziemba, Mario Fannin, and Ben Tate were all out? You wouldn't fire the head coach for that, would you?<br /><br />.....Us behind Mississippi State? I really don't see that one. With only 4 starters returning on defense, on a thin offensive team installing new schemes...
