Of course I was being facetious… could we get so lucky to keep Pat Dye at Auburn meddling around with their football program?

I think the most important thing to remember here is ZERO POINTS.

Seriously, it seems Auburn knew long ago Chizik would lose his job and it would become official, well, when?

I know. Why not after the Iron Bowl shutout? That way we can at least prevent a few murders in Opelika from furious Auburn fans.

And now the hopes rise. We don’t need victories, we need hope! We don’t need wins, we need fambly! 2013 is our time!

Oh, or maybe 2013 will be a “rebuilding year.”

2014 we’ll get even better!

Yeah, can’t get much worse.

Hope. It’s been mostly missing at Auburn while it flows like a Crimson river in Tuscaloosa. I won’t speculate on the next Auburn coach but the $11+ million it cost Auburn to make the decision to fire Chizik and his assistants this year is a bit of a surprise. Not much of a surprise, but just a little surprise. Bigger than zero (ahhhhh, zero), but still little.

I think that Dye’s credibility has taken a serious blow …… with his backing of Chizik ….. until 2 weeks ago….. there are several factions trying to get power …… The question is …. who has the power ? That is unclear right now and this “search” committee does not have the power to impose anything…… I will agree …. that the committee can block who they don’t want…… I say Petrino in the end… because Gus is tainted and the rest is just trying to leverage their situations…… Bobby and his old lady can cry a river and that good christian charity for second chances….. and the fact that he has the only “wow” factor …… to be had on the cheap for sure. They know Bobby well. Common sense and cents will win the day cuz.

Is there a reason why they left Pat Dye off of the search committee? They named their field after him, and he speaks on Auburns behalf more than anyone else. They should really let him be more involved.

Steve S. and John G. are fighting over AU. Too early to choose. Obviously, this will be a high paying job.
