[Husker] Gene Chizik to...Auburn? HUH??

[Steve Reichenbach]

As Barkley rips Auburn for failing to hire Gill, you have to think,
reading his comments, that if Gill had been hired by ISU when Chizik
was, he probably would have won at least five games.  The ISU gig is
a tough one, but given Gill's success at Buffalo it would seem that
he wouldn't have done worse than win five games in two years at ISU.
It's hard to disagree with Barkley's conclusion that discomfort with
a black head coach played a significant role (even if not a significant
explicit consideration) in the outcome of the search.
