The greatness of Chiznik marches on. Auburn will open of the wallet for another coach and quarterback.
Just as quickly as Gene Chizik won a national championship, he is gone.
In the modern college football era, Chizik becomes the quickest national-championship coach to be fired so soon after claiming his title.
Chizik's dismissal today adds another historical footnote to Auburn's monumental collapse since winning the BCS championship in 2010. Until today, no Football Bowl Subdivision coach in the past 50 years had been fired within two years of winning a national title.
