Gene Chizik on the hotseat? Don’t be ridiculous. We aren’t a nation of knee-jerk reactionaries. That’s not what we are about. That’s not who we are. It’s not who we should become.
No matter what happens against Mississippi State on Saturday.
Three straight years of overachieving and doing what nobody thought he could do has earned Chizik the right to have a year where he figures things out. Frankly, milking eight wins out of the 2011 team given the double decline at quarterback and on defense was a miracle and maybe his best coaching job.
Make no mistake, we want Auburn to be successful on the field, but athletic achievement is not the alpha and omega.
We don’t carry with us a sense of entitlement so strong that every season that ends without a championship is a failure. We hope we have the perspective to understand that this marvelous game that we love is at the end of the day just that — a game.
We are not defined by Saturday wins and losses. Our entire self-worth isn’t determined by the vagaries of a game over which we have no control. Our sense of being isn’t measured by the number of flags, stickers and banners we can apply to our car.
We are Auburn, we do what we do and we’re just fine with that.
We’re also just fine with Gene Chizik, or we should be. He’s spent three years doing his job better than anyone had a legitimate right to hope. He’s done so against tremendous odds. And he’s done it the right way.

Yeah you know they're for real when they're trotting out Thomas Jefferson quotes.
I can totally see equating a rebellion that founded our country with a football season.

His he getting the Mirando treatment? Please say he's been busted. The only thing better than that 17er getting nailed would be if it also included hard evidence that they paid Cecil.
What is the deal with Auburn getting all evangelical about their school? First Chizz's wife saying that Satan is the reason for their record, now they need have a revolution?
Their wins were STOLEN from them. They should be mad.
/I have the same sentiment as the others in this thread referring to the Newton payments. It would be absolutely awesome if the FBI/NCAA now dropped that bomb. No reason to protect them anymore when they can't win.

I read the whole article...
..& like somebody has mentioned, when you lead off with Thomas Jefferson smack, it's not a good sign. But I kept reading & I'll admit the article was well-written, but I think the "Auburn family" is forgetting something very important: When you made your Cam Newton deal with the devil, the devil always returns to collect his vig. It's called karma, bitches. When you got in bed with the Newton family, all your long term success was forfeited. Word to Auburn: Dance with the devil, pay the price.
