My sources for Auburn information need to check their sources, lol.... Apparently the Leach hiring was not a done deal.

Auburn hires Gene Chizik as head coach. Former defensive coordinator with some pretty darn good Auburn teams. Chizik left to coach at Iowa State with little success. 5-19 after two seasons at ISU.

Auburn fans are NOT happy that he was even interviewed: (Auburn Athletic Director Jay Jacobs returning from Ames, Iowa where he interviewed Chizik)

The Auburn job seemed to be one that nobody wanted. Saban is locking up the in state recruits, and Auburn's recent success is going to make it tough to allow any time to develop a program. Folks are thinking this is a temporary hire until they can find the coach they really want in the next couple of years.
