Is Gene Chizik being considered?

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Auburn NC winning, I think... now DC of the 10-1 UNC Tarheels.

But what does he say about the possibility of a HC job?

****** linky ******
“There’s some of that speculation out there I’m sure, but I think about it zero,” Chizik said. “I’m entrenched in what I’m doing right now. I’ve never been one to try to do this job while I’m thinking about the possibilities down the road. Coupled with the fact that’s not what I need to do anymore. That’s not what I need to be. I don’t have to prove anything to anybody. As a head coach and as an assistant, I’ve done all you can do.

“When you’re younger and you’re chasing that dream, it becomes really important to you. It’s not important to me now. Am I fully 100 percent confident I could go to someplace and, with the exception of my last year at Auburn, take off from where I was at previously? Absolutely. I have zero doubt about that. Is that a goal or a huge desire of mine? No. I’m not going to go interview for jobs and be one of seven guys and hope I get the job. If somebody calls and says you’re our top guy or top two guys, would I listen? I don’t know, depends on where it is. But I’m in a way different place than I was. I’m very happy doing this, being a defensive coordinator.”

I looked at his record and he was real terrible as HC at Iowa State. I don't know why Auburn hired him as HC since he had 2-3 wins in 2 years at Iowa State. He did well the second year going 14-0 and fired after 8-5 the following season. The only problem is he didn't do the recruiting for his winning season. I don't know if he's a good recruiter. I think he got 7.5 million from Auburn for his severance and waiting till the payments to end before going for HC.

He had a nice gift purchased for him in the form of Cam Newton.

Underwhelmed.

He should kiss the shadow of Gus Malzhan and pray to the image of Cam Newton everyday. He was worse than Al Golden without them. THAT FREAKING BAD!

If we are willing up to pony up for a staff and a stud quarterback then he's a good coach for us . Rutgers would have to pay for him and the second coming of cam newton . It could work .

You can say what you want about Chizik, but that defense at UNC last year, we could have scored a 100 on, and this year they have a shot at the playoff. As drastic improvement on a defense that you could have.

I guess I got so caught up in that story that I never considered his past.

Watching paint dry or your grass growing are infinitely more exciting than listening to Gene Chizek.

He is as inspiring as a hemorrhoid attack at Christmas dinner.
