Gene Chizik named Auburn Head Coach

Is the Auburn job really that bad?  When Gene Chizik was defensive coordinator there, they were undefeated, but came up short in the national championship.  After starting the season 2-0 his Iowa State Cyclones went 0-10 to finish the season 2-10 this past 2008 season.  One would wonder why he is being given the chance to coach a powerhouse SEC school, especially in these times where minority coaches are not being given the chance to coach at the College level.  As a head coach, he has only been able to muster 5 wins in two seasons with Iowa State.  The only reason I can think of is that he was the defensive coordinator for Auburn the year they were undefeated, but like I said, they were not able to play for the National Championship.  He went to Texas for the 2005-2006 season as a defensive coordinator and they were undefeated and won the National Championship that year.  After that though, just 5-19 as a head coach which would put him towards the bottom of my list of available head coaches.  Where is Turner Gill when  you need him.
