the beginning is so amazing
Football is filled with guys who were good coordinators but lousy head coaches...Cam Cameron, Gregg Williams, Rod Marinelli, even going back to Bill Arnsparger. 5-19 is a pretty strong case against.
Apparently Chizik is a good coach? He was the defensive coordinator on Auburn and Texas teams that ran off 29 straight wins? Turner Gill saying he was a token candidate is huge. Arguing that Auburn didn't choose the right coach, though, isn't automatic.
No arguing with Charles on this one.
