AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Auburn has reportedly hired Iowa State's
Gene Chizik as its new football coach.
The Birmingham News, Mobile Press-Register and Rivals.com
reported Saturday that the former Auburn defensive coordinator will
succeed Tommy Tuberville, who resigned following 10 seasons.
An Auburn spokesman said no announcement was scheduled for
Saturday and an Iowa State spokesman also said he couldn't confirm
the reports.
Chizik is 5-19 in two seasons at Iowa State after stints running
the defenses at Auburn and Texas. He coached the nation's top
scoring defense in his third and final season with the Tigers.
That 2004 defense allowed just 11 points a game and Auburn went
undefeated.
