Auburn on Saturday hired Iowa State's Gene Chizik, who had a 5-19 record in two seasons with the Cyclones. Chizik was the defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2004, when the Tigers finished 13-0 and ranked No. 2 in the country.
Barkley is accusing Auburn hiring Chizik over Buffalo's Turner Gill, because Gill is black. Although, I don't believe race is an issue here, I believe that Gill is a much better candidate. Before Gill took over Buffalo, the Bulls were the laughing stock of football. They took care of undefeated Ball State this year, and were improving a lot going into next year. I do believe that Mike Leach would have been the best coaching option here, however, he wasn't guaranteed to leave Texas Tech.
