Good ole' boys
My alma mater, Iowa State, lost its football coach this weekend. After only two seasons, the former defensive coordinator for both Auburn and Texas, Gene Chizak, is taking the head coach's job at Auburn. Oh Gene, how will we ever replace your 5-19 record?Auburn alum Charles Barkley isn't thrilled about this move either, and he's saying so. Only four of 119 NCAA football programs have an African-American head coach, but why should a premier program like Auburn hire one when they can get the guy who led the Cyclones to a 2-10 record in 2008 and a winless season (0-8) in the conference?
Chizak's departure creates a vacancy in Ames for Barkley's candidate-of-choice, Owen Gill, an Iowa neighbor when he played collegiately at Nebraska. We don't care if he's married to a white woman.
