And people though our coaching search was a circus…The Auburn A.D. makes Bill Martin look like a mastermind…
http://www.trackemtigers.com/ Notes: “To say this move is shocking is an understatement. For many Auburn fans, this is a worst case scenario. There appears to be little logic in the choice”.
http://www.auburntron.com/ Notes: “Today, I am not proud to be an Auburn Tiger - and I blame you Jay Jacobs. No recruits want to hear what Gene Chizik has to say after Saban, Meyer, Richt, Nutt, and now Mullen sit down with them. Winless in the Big 12. Marginal recruiter, at best. No personality. No charisma. No national recognition. Nothing positive emerges from this. This proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have the worst, most inept, most pathetic athletic department, combined with the most damaging outside booster influence in all of college football. And apparently, zero leadership at the top of the university who could step up and stop this monumental blunder. We hired our absolute worst candidate”.

Side note.
LET IT BE SAID. Rich Rodriguez is a great hire for Michigan.
Rich Rodriguez will retire as a beloved and successful Michigan coach. He will go down as a successful and transformation hire for Michigan! (yeah, I see nothing but maze and blue)
Go Blue.
