Gene Chizik will be "fired" @ Auburn LONG before Dan Mullen is "fired" @ MSU.
His "logic" is that State wins 6-7 this year, and we begin to get restless with that number. That part is probably true, but his wording has been abhorable, because "restless" /= "hot seat". We naturally want to take another step forward, but as a collective fanbase we are the most fearful of any in the sec of "taking a step back." Dan Mullen will never feel the heat as long as he makes bowl games consistently and we stay ahead of OM. At least not until the program stagnates altogether. Took us 14 years to get sick of Stansbury, while having similar success, and meeting the aforementioned criteria. It'll take more than 4-5 years for us to get sick of Dan Mullen.
How are the Auburn faithful going to feel when they win 7-8 again this year, while Bama is competing for another national title, after Saban skull drags them for the 3rd time in Chiz's four seasons? Suddenly, he's winning fewer games than Tuberville, while not having the domination of the in-state rival that Tubs had to fall back on. That's right, it will be ugly. Chizik has 2 years to be in the bcs picture before auburn sends him packing.
Now, which team has a coach on the hot seat?
