    Come on, this is a joke, right?

    Deceks? ProudTiger?

    Help me here, please.

    Great DC, but failed miserably trying to run the whole show.

    Auburn nation has to be in total meltdown mode.

    uhhh, it's iowa state. pick any coach and send him there and he ain't turning it around anytime soon. i could be wrong but auburn coulda done worse. he was a coordinator there under tubby for a while in case some of you forgot that connection.

    He did a good job as DC of Auburn, which is why Mack Brown hired him away to be his DC Texas. This is how he did as DC at Texas:

    Texas 2008 (Muschamp) -- #20 Scoring D (18.6 ppg), #50 Total D (339.9 ypg)
    Texas 2007 (Duane Akina) -- #45 Scoring D (25.3 ppg), #52 Total D (371.2 ypg)
    Texas 2006 (Gene Chizik) -- #24 Scoring D (18.3 ppg), #24 Total D (298.3 ypg)
    Texas 2005 (Gene Chizik) -- #8 Scoring D (16.4 ppg), #10 Total D (302.9 ypg)
    Texas 2004 (Greg Robinson) - #19 Scoring D (17.9 ppg), #23 Total D (320.1 ypg)
    Texas 2003 (Reese) - #32 Scoring D (21.5 ppg), #25 Total D (329.9 ypg)
    Texas 2002 (Reese) - #8 Scoring D (16.3 ppg), #16 Total D (307.7 ypg)
    Texas 2001 (Reees) - #3 Scoring D (13.7 ppg), #1 Total D (236.2 ypg)
    Texas 2000 (Reese) - #11 Scoring D (17.9 ppg), #7 Total D (278.3 ypg)
    Texas 1999 (Reese) - #30 Scoring D (20.6 ppg), #6 Total D (286.7 ypg)
    Texas 1998 (Reese) - ???

    Then Iowa State hired him as their head coach, and he hasn't done so hot there:

    Iowa State
    2000 9-3
    2001 7-5
    2002 7-7
    2003 2-10
    2004 7-5
    2005 7-5
    2006 4-8
    2007 3-9 (Chizik)
    2008 2-10 (Chizik)

    I think one impressive thing that stands out about him was the he was a key part of the coaching staff of the 2004 Auburn team that finished 13-0 as well as the 2005 Texas team that finished 13-0.

    He was a great DC.

    Too bad that's not what they are hiring him for.

    Iowa State was only 1 year removed from back to back 7-5 bowl eligible teams when he arrived at Iowa State.

    Not buying the "no one can be successful there" thing.

    This is the word out of Iowa, also...

    I mean... too funny... not that he can't coach or win or any of that common fodder..... but having a Chizik Coin made when he got to ISU... (yes, a Chizik Commerative coin).... I mean.... oh my.... fits right in with the Auburn NC rings and stuff.

    This is perfect.
