Cornerback CarlosRogers won the Thorpe Award in 2004 as the nation’s top defensive back. He plays now for the Washington Redskins. Chizik was his position coach. “This was the best decision Auburn could have made,” Rogers said. “Coach Chizik was like a dad to me. From a player and student point of view, he’s exactly what Auburn needs in a head coach.”

Dear Dr. Gogue, I am a 2005 Auburn Alum. I have recently heard news of the possible Gene Chizik hiring as our head coach of the Auburn football team. I understand the University is doing everything it can to do the right thing and make the right hire; however, I have to echo the concerns of other Auburn alums and fans around the world. Coach Chizik won just 5 games in two years at ISU. He has not proven himself. We need a leader of our University. It is my opinion that man is Turner Gill. Turner Gill would bring Auburn into the 21st century and give the players, fans, alums, and the town of Auburn someone to look up to. He is a proven coach winning the MAC championship this year! Please take the opinions of the alums and fans of this school, who bleed orange and blue in everything they do, and reconsider this hire.
War Eagle!
