After the class that Auburn just had, I would say that they have a good opportunity to compete this year, IF IF IF IF Cam Newton can learn the offense and doesn't make bad decisions. Based on Kiffin not being here this year, it would have been nice to land Cam. I do know for a fact that Chaney really liked him last year, but Cam has more mental issues than anything, in regards to being an effective QB.

It amazes me that Kiffin had such a strong influence on some fans they are actually becoming USC fans. For a guy that did next to nothing for UT in the long run, it baffles me.

I wish he would have taken the bandwagon/fair-weather fans with him to LA. That's just me though.

I was an SC fan long before Kiffy-cakes arrived here.

If you want a 7-5/8-4 guy then Chizik's your man, but if you want to take the program to SEC championships then you need Saban

Until he got to the SEC, and the home of almost unlimited resources and TV coverage, what did Nick Saban do?? I'll give you a hint, NOT JACK.

Just the idiots leaving would be fine with me.

It seems that 85% of posters on the football board should fall into the 'not allowed to breed' category.

But, as my favorite mod told me, 'the booger eaters are allowed to post, too'

What about the fart sniffers?? Those people shouldn't be allowed to congregate here though. :)

Most thought Chizik was a freaking joke of a hire. A couple seasons later, he has things turned the right direction. Two things to remember:

1. Auburn was left much better stocked when Tuberville got the boot, than when Kiffin left UT.

More myth. Here's the facts:

Inherited Players

Auburn
5*: 1
4*: 19
2010 NFL Draft Picks: 2

Tennessee
5*: 5
4*: 22
2010 NFL Draft Picks: 6

Auburn also had less depth in overall numbers and had fewer top-tier recruiting commits when Chizik took over compared to Kiffin.

"MSU won the bowl game giving the Spartans an overall record of 10–2 for the 1999 season. It would be the best season in terms of wins for the Spartans since 1965, and it would see the Spartans reach their highest ranking since the 1966 team"

He was also 9-2 at Toledo when they won the MAC

Saban didn't become that "wanted" coach, until he hit LSU and recruited the South. Then EVERYONE knew about him, and he became a household name. Name one time while he was at Michigan State that we knew about him here in the SEC?? Not once.

The point he's trying to convey is that Saban won at Michigan St. before coming to the SEC, Dooley struggled in the WAC

Ok, and yet there is significantly more resources at Michigan State than there ever will be at La. Tech. It's not like Dooley was the HC of Texas and couldn't win with their talent. Go look up Ruston, LS, and ask yourself who the heck would ever be successful there.

I remember Saban turning MSU into a ranked team was a big story his last season at MSU. It was a pretty big story on ESPN. He was the hot name that several teams wanted at the time.
