Gene Chizik was let go by Auburn Sunday after Auburn lost 49-0 to Alabama and finished the year 3-9.
Those in the know believe the Auburn University football program could have a new head coach by early next week.

Jay Tate of AuburnSports.com reported that he predicts the replacement for Gene Chizik will be named Monday.

Tate also reported that potential successors, from most likely to less likely, include: Bobby Petrino, most recently the head coach of Arkansas; Gus Malzahn, current Arkansas State head coach and former Auburn offensive coordinator; Kirby Smart, Alabama's defensive coordinator; Jeff Fisher, 18 year NFL head coach veteran currently coaching the St. Louis Rams; and Charlie Strong, head coach of Louisville.

Who the heck is Jay Tate? Sounds like a pompous idiot to me.

One of those media guys who throws **** up against the wall and hopes something sticks so he can take credit for it.

Heck, any fool could have come up with those names.

That's foot's pen name.
I quit looking up articles when I found one claiming they were interested in Jim Mora.
The announcement will come soon enough. Until then we can keep laughing at Foot's drivel.

It's no secret Auburn is a mess, you don't fix it with the same Leadership. Jay Tate has Petrino #1 on his short list....adds up really considering the Leadership has remained.

Strong would be a better choice IMHO.

It makes people look silly to link BR IMO ...it takes NO credentials to write an article there

You don't. I've read some pure babble on BR though . It's basically a fan blog with conjecture as the basis for fact

Petrino would not be an AD's choice. He comes in tainted by the Motorcycle Momma. In the minds of the fan base he'd have to beat bama every year to make em forget...and the opposing teams' fans won't let em ever forget. And if he is caught spitting on the sidewalk the AD is canned.
