P hillip Marshall flip-flopped into a strong endorsement of Auburn’s new coach Gene Chizik Saturday night. Auburn’s version of Pravda declared the hiring a victory for the heroic Auburn family over the evil residing in Tuscaloosa.
He is a good man and a good football coach. He has the toughness, the knowledge and the intangibles it takes to succeed. Of that, I have no doubt, his struggles at Iowa State notwithstanding…
I can’t say whether Chizik will win as much as he needs to win or not. I know he’ll work tirelessly at it. I know he’s a good coach. I know he’s a good man.
And that says a lot.
It looks like Marshall has decided it is time to french kiss a new Auburn football coach. It must be how he guarantees himself access to the program. Unfortunately for Auburn fans, this type of journalism won’t assure the administration is held accountable for its betrayal of the Auburn nation.
Chizik may win; however, there can be no justification of this hire based on Chizik’s record. It is a worse hire than Bill Curry at Alabama. Marshall knows it. He said as much this morning. But access is more important than truth.
He really does a great job at spreading sunshine. He’d make a great political spinmeister.
5-19
Bullshit.
A recent Provtor and Gamble survey shows that Phillip Marshall is the #1 client for Listerine in the greater Madison County area.
When asked for a comment, Marshall said:
“For a man in my position mental hygiene and minty freshness are an absolute necessity….”
I would say a little soap and water for his nose couldnt hurt a man in Phillip’s position either.
Back to you Cappy!
***Provter should read “Proctor”.
Is this guy the new coach?
War Chizik! This is the best hire Auburn could make? Has another coach ever had a 5-19 record and turned it around within 2 years? That is all the time Auburn will give him, if he loses to BAMA twice.
Omni, I thought you told all the boys to hide and watch on this great hire, I will have to say I am impressed with what he has been able to accomplish at Iowa St. They are as thrilled to get rid of him as Bama is for yall to have him, Good Luck with Mike Shula I mean Chizik.
Classic, Cappy!!!
