    This is college football's version of the Jim Zorn hire.

    Epically bad. They're already losing their top recruits because of it.

    I'll give him a bit more breathing room than the rest of you guys. He made a dumb decision to go to Iowa State, but look at the rest of his resume, he was one of the best coordinators in football.

    Charles Barkley apparently doesn't approve of the hire. He thinks its racist.

    Charles has an opinion on just about anything. He doesn't always know what he's talking about but he's free with the quips. It would be nice to know the truth. The school says Tub stepped down, mom says he was fired. Mom's never lie do they? If he was fired and I think he was , it seems that Auburn would have had a guy in place to take over.

    A guy who worked under the former headcoach and is apparently a worse head coach.

    Auburn is making sound decisions.

    If he resigned, it had to be under serious duress. Why else would AU pay him $5 mil?
