Days numbered for Chizik, Kiffin?

Time may be running out on Auburn coach Gene Chizik and USC coach Lane Kiffin.

Reports that Chizik will lose his job have been rampant as Auburn’s worst season in decades goes from bad to worse. Now, the website 247Sports.com, citing anonymous sources, reports that Auburn president Jay Gogue has told members of the Board of Trustees that he is preparing to possibly dismiss Chizik.

According to 247Sports.com, Gogue talked to board members about forming a committee to help with the process of firing Chizik and naming a new head coach “within days after the end of the season …”

The website named Louisville offensive coordinator Shawn Watson as a possible candidate to replace Chizik.

Kiffin, meanwhile, is on shaky ground after the Trojans announced they had been reprimanded and fined by the Pac-12 because a student manager deflated several footballs during the Trojans’ 62-51 loss to Oregon on Saturday.

Writes Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times:

On the field, this team with unbeaten talent is 6-3 while gaining national recognition mostly for reckless penalties and questionable play-calling.

Off the field, Kiffin has dragged the team through an array of distractions and ethics dilemmas that have tarnished the athletic department’s sterling post-probation image cultivated by Athletic Director Pat Haden.

Kiffin was not hired by Haden, and there is now real doubt about his ability to keep his job beyond this season as the department sinks deeper into embarrassment.

Although Kiffin denied knowing about the ball-deflating incident, he has been involved in several other questionable moves: He stopped allowing visiting teams to use the L.A. Coliseum the day before a game for traditional walk-throughs; banned a reporter for writing about injuries, before Haden reversed the ban; and changed numbers during games — a possible rules violation.

It appear, however, that Kiffin will at least finish out the season. The same may not be true for Chizik, whose team is 2-7, winless in the SEC and is facing No. 5 Georgia Saturday night. Could a beatdown by the Bulldogs seal Chizik’s fate?

Kiffin seems like a terrible person, and he has done more to embarrass USC than you could believe. If he was winning, you overlook it, but hsi team is hugely disappointing.

Good riddance. Enjoy coaching Northern Arizona next year.

The NC for Auburn goes to Newton, Fairley, and Dyer, plus the Auburn boosters that paid their salaries, and Malzahn. Chizik is a .333 coach in years where his boosters do not buy him championships.

Neither of them will ever beat Coach Saban again.

Chizik had no credentials….he bought one championship. Kiffin, like him or not, has some ability. USC was in a cluster (sanctions, etc.) and has gotten better….just a run of bad luck. He should probably get another season. Chzik should be where he belongs; sucking farts out of the seats at a local car dealership!

You mean Cam won the NC for awburn. And they shouldn’t have fallen that far that fast. With a recent NC it should have helped recruit the talent to at least compete in the SEC. His complete college record doesn’t say much for him staying, especially if you throw out that one season. If he would have won a couple of more games he might have been able to get another year.
And that USC thing smells might funny. Kiffin couldn’t even look the reporters in the eye during the interview. That manager is a loyal dude, though.

Kiffin was under fire on USC blogs before the Oregon loss. He’s got a tough stretch ahead; Notre Dame, of course at the end of the regular season, but assuming they beat Arizona St. and UCLA (6-2), most likely Oregon again. This team was picked by one preseason writer to play for the BCS CG (against Georgia).

Chizik is not a great coach. And give me a break on the ‘winning national championship’ two years ago crap. Take Cam off that team and they lose at least three games in the regular season. Chizik was horrible at Iowa State. The guy that replaced him has got them to a respectable place. I was surprised Auburn hired him, (not that I care.) Never under estimate the old boy network and donor big money.

Old Dawg

Kiffin is a good fit for area football, no disrespect intended.

It’s difficult not to see Chizik’s days are numbered. Aside from the Cam Newton year, he has a terrible record. Thirty years ago he probably would be given more time, but it’s the fast and the furious these days.

Woe Eagle!

What amazes me is that both schools should have known what they were getting. The college football fraternity is very close knit and people talk – even if you don’t ask. Remember the reception the Auburn fans gave Chizik when arrived the first time? Didn’t USC look at Kiffin’s job at UT? You have to wonder what some of these schools must be thinking. Was Bobby P. a surprise? Hardly.

Kiffin is not welcome in Oakland or Knoxville, and maybe he’ll add LA to that list. I don’t get it; because his daddy was a pretty good Defensive coach, he gets endless opportunities. Well, he hasn’t done anything with any of them…..especially the four-ace hand he held this year at USC. Matt Barkley did the right thing; unfortunately for him, his coach WAS a moron…..

Deflating balls, funny. First, Oregon never had to punt. Secondly, they ran the ball most of the time, all an underinflated ball would do was be a little easier to hold. Sure didn’t appear to slow down the QB throwing for 300+ either….

I don’t understand how Chizik is two years removed from winning a National Championship at Auburn and there is serious talk of his dismissal. While on the other hand Coach Richt had 11 years at UGA and did not even contend for a title game. Maybe that what’s UGA hired him for, to win now and then in the SEC championship.

AU

Chizik is a great man and a pretty good coach. His time may be up but he should not be hated on. He held the kids accountable (unlike Mark Richt) and taught them a lot about being a young man, not just a football player. I’m not saying he should stay, but he deserves credit for winning Auburn’s first NC in 50 years.

Chizik kept a team together and focused during the biggest witchhunt in NCAA history.

Mark Richt is sure starting to look better and better, especially during the Florida game when raising hell with the referees and Grantham for running on the field. Maybe it’s the hip pain, but I LIKE it a lot. Could care less about Chizik or Auiburn, but Laney Kifin is a real d..k and Lady Karma of the photographice memory and ability to hold the eternal grudge is warming up the oven to make that snot-nosed brat into a national disgrace although it’s arguable that only Petrino is a bigger jerk, and only by a slight margin. That’s tough to do, look worse that Petrino. Don’t you love it, folks? Well, don’t ya? He’s the kind of guy that makes a mockery of decent folks with his lieing, scheming, abandonment of TN and I don’t have a dog in that fight either except I’m a Falcons fan and can deeply appreciate the sense of disillusion that those fans must feel with he skulked away in the night with Daddy in tow. I certainly don’t wish the man ill health in any way, shape or form, but I’m looking forward to his firing like a first date with the hottest chick in high school.
Let’s give a round of applause to Karma, sweet, nasty bitch that she is.

Chizik is a great person, he obviously did something right in the 2010 season that got us a natl championship. Being a great coach is responding to the next years to come, unfortunately he has failed in that column. That said we need a big time coach to come in and turn this program around. charlie strong, jimbo fisher, or bobby petrino are my guesses.

Ok, Chizik rode the Cam rail all the way and proved he is nothing after that. Any school that would hire the cheater, quitter Petrino needs to get beat like Chizik will be Saturday, like a drum.
Chizik is in over his head, Petrino is a low life human being. Any school that hires him tells their athletes, fans and other that winning comes before moral responsibility.

I have not always been a big Mark Richt fan, but at least he is not Bobby Petrino and is truly a good and decent human being. Lot to be said for that this day and time folks.

I have it on good authority that Bobby Petrino voted for Count Baracula of Taxylvania. Must be somethin’ wrong with his heritage. He xeroxed a Dear John letter to the Falcons while slinking off to Sausageville. Unstable, I’d say. I love that picture of him with his neckbrace and skint-up face. They orta make a puzzle out of it.

Kiffin leaves a trail of slime wherever he goes. Layla, though, would almost allow me to tolerate him….for a minute.

@still a dwag fan said,
“Kiffin is an embarrassment to college football. How does this guy keep getting head coaching job because every where he has gone has turned into a train wreak. Oakland-Tenn-USC- need I say any more”

You couldn’t be more right. I can’t wait till he gets fired and no other schools will even look at him after all the stunts he’s tried to pull at Tenn and USC. On the upside, his hot wife will surely be looking for greener pastures after he’s smaked down to reality. Petrino should get her number. Money talks, Kiffin walks.

Cutler,
Tradition: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (as a religious practice or a social custom) *Websters Dictionary*

…so yes, playing between the hedges is definitely a tradition.

Our nominees for the Eddie Haskel coach of the year are: Lane Kiffin, Bobby Petrino, Butch Davis. Any school that hires any one of these three should be placed on probation at once. Kiffin is married to John Reeves (Florida QB) daughter. Let him head down to Miami if Tennessee snaps up Al Golden.

Derek Dooley is just a poor coach…Kiffin is a cheat and a poor coach, but a great recruiter. Both should be ESPN analysts next season.

I’m glad he’s at USC. Hope he stays there and ruins the program. I’m sure Vowel fans wish he was still there cause Dooley is 10yrs away from being an average head coach in a major conference. Us LSU fans hate the Plainsmen much more than UGA fans so I hope they give Gene “a little more time” to get things together. Oh, and I don’t care about their stupid tree either. Plainsmen fans are nasty mean people and they deserve a crappy coach. To bad there was such a good coverup about the Newton ordeal. I’d like to see the whole school, make it the whole state circle the bowl out into the gulf. F U Plainsmen AND Tide fans. I hope thats nasty enough for you!!!!! Geaux Dawgs! At least for this weekend!

We are in the business of MEN.Who cares what the future holds as long as these boys turn into men who are leaders in their industry in the coming years. I would much prefer a coach who could turn these boys into good men. I could care a less about championships. I love Gene! I think that he turns boys into men. I hope the rest of the Auburn family learns to love him too!

But that’s all he has..0-6 in the SEC this season not mention the overal SEC record.And December 3rd Richt will have something he wont have..A job.Just sayin..

You do realize that both teams use their own balls. Therefore USC’s footballs were the ones that would be easier to hold onto and catch and not Oregon’s. I suppose you would be the dumber of the two
