Coach Gene Chizik got his first signed letter of intent from Juco defensive lineman Nick Fairley. Quick job from CGC. He has only been the coach for a couple of days and is already showing us something. This is only one signee, but let's hope he can go out and shore up all of the other commitments that CTT had, and add some more. Fairley is 6 foot 4, 295 lbs, and runs a 4.89 40 yard dash. He seems to be a good signee that can add some more depth to Auburn's experienced defensive line next year.
On another note, Auburn President Jay Gouge claims that he was "surprised" at the initial negative reaction to the hiring of CGC. I don't know why he is so surprised! Not many people in the Auburn family saw this one coming. In fact, not many people at all even wanted this hire to come.
Charles Barkley came public this week on the hire of CGC. He claims that Auburn hired CGC for the main issue of race. He says that if Chizik was black, he wouldn't have even gotten an interview. My opinion: Barkley, get a grip. I'm tired of no matter what happens you pull the race card. I understand that you think it is unfair, but you are making not only Auburn, but the whole STATE of Alabama look bad with your smart little comments. These comments have been all over ESPN, and the whole country is aware of the comments. The main reason, in my opinion, Chizik has been hired is his connections with Auburn and his familiarity with the area around Auburn. I don't think race played a roll at all.
Charles Barkley-Go play in some traffic
Coach Gene Chizik-Happy Recruiting
That's all I have for today...............................................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
