Heckle and Jeckle meet Jay Jacobs at Auburn Airport

Well not really but Auburn's athletic director did get heckled by a disgruntled Auburn fan(See video below). If you listened to any of the radio talk shows today in the state, you would have heard others just as upset. This all comes too quickly on the heels of supposedly the quitting of head football coach Tommy Tubberville. Auburn officials stood by the claim that he quit on his own and wasn't fired even though Tubberville's own mother Olive, said, "He was fired."

Auburn officials have fasttracked the hiring of Gene Chizik, the head coach from Iowa State whose record was a whopping 5 wins to 19 losses in a year. Compare his record to Tommy Tubberville's 85% win ratio over 10 years and it would make one wonder why they hired a no-name coach making two million dollars while Alabama's Crimson Tide just beat the socks off of them with a top picked coach Saban who makes nearly five million a year.



If you don't believe me, read what an anonymous blogger said in a local newspaper post today:

"What an awful mess for Auburn...
You lost 7 games...
You got beat by Vandy (lol)...
You got beat by Georgia...
You got embarrassed by Alabama...
You fired a coach who averaged 8-9 wins...
You hired a coach who averages 2-3 wins...
Nobody knows what the offense or the defense will look like next year...
ESPN is calling you a bunch of racists...

Could it get any worse? Oh yeah...Bama is back....ROLL TIDE!"

Can it get any worse for Auburn?
I guess they could have hired Mike Schula.
