Shane: Auburn gains momentum

Auburn gains momentum with amazing recruiting success
By Shane from Centerpoint

New head coach Gene Chizik came to Auburn amid controversy and doubt. The infamous “heckler” incident along with the Tiger fan base’s general lack of confidence in the young football coach’s abilities (mainly due to his 5-19 career record) were indicative of the uphill battle he’s faced from the minute he arrived.

In spite of that and other negative perceptions created during the off-season, Auburn came out of the blocks with a fast start. Coach Chizik’s team looked extremely sharp and left a positive initial impression on the college football world by racking up five straight wins.

Those victories created a buzz and the talking heads started giving Chizik some attention. Auburn was getting national coverage during the “run” and the Tigers head coach apparently used that boost to enhance recruiting.

The bottom half of the season was not as successful to say the least. Auburn went 2-5 with Ole Miss being its lone Southeastern Conference victory.

Objectively speaking, Chizik and his staff left something to be desired with the late season collapse. However, the difficulties on the field didn’t seem to affect Auburn’s image with young high school athletes and their parents.

Apparently, from a recruiting standpoint Chizik was somehow able to overcome the usual disinterest a program tends to suffer from when the football team isn’t successful.

Almost magically, he and his crack staff were able to maintain the loyalty of some of the nation’s finest athletes.

The most amazing thing about that is they were able to keep almost all of those players on board without the recruiting coordinator, Trooper Taylor, who was limited from personal contact for most of the season.

Early on, critics and opponents alike made fun of the assistant coach’s “Limo Tour” and shook their heads when Auburn staged “Big Cat Weekend”. To most people the combination of Trooper Taylor and Curtis Luper was humorous at best.

Nobody’s laughing now. Especially after Auburn signed one of the school’s all-time best classes last week. It is more than evident to me that the system Auburn utilizes is very effective.

One of the best things Chizik was able to do to take the sting out of an average first season was to bring in a signing class that shows so much promise that the Tigers fans are ready to move along to next year. The entire Auburn “family” has been re-energized.

That brings another thought about the Auburn fan base. They’ve completely bought in to Chizik’s idea that Trooper and Luper should serve as the face of Auburn’s recruiting program.

It would be difficult to make a case against the Tiger’s dynamic duo after they rounded up a consensus top-five recruiting class this year.

Actually, most head coaches want the spotlight focused their way, but Chizik must feel that Taylor needs to have free reign to do his job. And, even if Trooper gets caught cheating a few times, his “bang” is worth the “buck”. I find it hard to disagree.

The reality is that Auburn made a significant step toward being competitive with the better SEC teams in the future by signing this tremendous class.

Truthfully, Gene Chizik knows he will have to duplicate this top-five group at least two more years running if he hopes to have a shot at an SEC crown. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Alabama and Florida are loaded from top to bottom.

Give the man credit. He appears ready to “push the envelope” when recruiting and he has the guts to hire professional recruiters to push it for him.

One thing the Auburn coach has shown me. He knows he has to utilize unconventional methods and employ questionable tactics to improve his odds and have a fighting chance when facing the likes of Urban Meyer and Nick Saban.

At least Chizik is ready to fight for Auburn, unlike like their last coach who just rolled over and quit.

    Guys, with all this bickering back and forth between the fan bases, it’s easy to forget the important things.

    Like the Alabama basketball program. When UA was faced with a coaching hire last year, they didn’t bow to conventional thinking, and just go hire some white guy with little to no coaching ability and even less accomplishments. No, they bucked the racist status quo and hired an African American, the best man for the job. And for that, they deserve special commendation. Hats off.

    One more thing…..Luper and Trooper were among the top recruiters in the nation before they came to Auburn. See UT and OK State. Now that they are at Auburn, and that same recruiting success has followed, you bammers think it’s Dye paying players. You guys make no sense.

    Bullshit.
    Trooper Taylor is associated with 1 top ten class, other than that the whole lot of coaches have done nothing but recruit in the middle of the pack.

    Grand Dragon hammah, typing your entire post with the caps lock on does not make it “easier to read”. It’s a strain on the eyes and significantly more difficult to read. The truth is that your 4th grade education failed to provide you with basic grammar and English skills, so you type in all caps and speak jibberish in a futile attempt to mask the fact that you don’t even know which words should be capitalized or how they should be spelled. Don’t believe everything your fellow skinheads are telling you…it is cool to stay in school. NOW QUICK, SAY SOMETHING NONSENSICAL AND BE SURE TO END IT WITH A BUNCH OF EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!

    Shane,it’s ironic that you IMPLY some recruiting irregularities at Auburn while the Bham News just today said that YOUR current Director of Player Personnel was involved in recruiting violations while at the University of Central Florida. Most people in this state by now know you’re nothing more than a lesser version of Finebaum without the money and a wannabe.

  46. Stuart February 12, 2010 at 7:11 am #

    Few things I think,

    1. Very Fair article, never thought I would say that.

    2. Curtis Luper is the recruiting coordinator, not Trooper Taylor.

    3. Trooper is out front alot, but to call him the face of the program may be a bit much. Chizik is still the head guy. He may have not won the presser the first day, but with the hires he has made, he has won alot of them since.

    4. Honestly, as an AU fan, the only game that I thought we lost that we counted on was the UK game. Had Auburn won that one I think the whole year would have been precieved much differently. That one was a stinker. That may go down as our “UL Monroe” moment.

    5. Saban is a force to be reckoned with, there is no doubt. All Auburn folks want is a guy in the HC spot who will punch back, and Chizik looks to be punching back.

    War Eagle.

    The Shane is NOT scared of aubby. The aubby’s are terrified of the Tide & Gators. The heckler who yelled we want a winner not a loser &, the guy that kept saying over & over you have the right man for the job. One knew something the other didn’t just how deep of pockets aubby had & could get the players to come to aubby. Which one knew how deep the pocket’s of aubby ran & runs, which one didn’t? Most ALL college players are paid by most ALL college teams in some shape form or fashion, some can just get away with it better then others. The Tide & Gators don’t have to do this they have coaches that can get talent to come play for them with out deep pockets. These two teams are called Champions & one of them has 13NC’S….

    The Dunnaway and Brown show featuring LT is not working. He is very unhappy. He was promised a lot of things and was happy Brien Straw was axed. Now Dunnaway is having none of this immoral and childish behavior by LT. Many of the youth are asking the roundtable to return to prior format.
