Possible Trouble for Chizik

Ouch. So not only did Chizik have to pay 200K to get Newton but now he could lose ANOTHER 1.4 million in bonuses?

I'm sure Chiz already had a deal under the table with $Cam Newton to get his money back in a few years when he's a pro.

Interesting:

If Auburn terminates Chizik for cause, the coach could be required to repay the balance of the $750,000 the university loaned him to pay his buyout at Iowa State in late 2008.

Wait....they "loaned" that money to him? That would indicate they expect it to be paid back at some point. I figured they would just pay it straight out as part of the deal when they agreed to hire his stupid ***.

I believe the article states that $150000 a year is forgiven for each year he is head coach at Auburn. So there is some protection on his part...but certainly some risk as well.

I don't feel one bit bad for him. No one else should either. Everyone gets what they deserve.

Except future players that have to pay for the indiscretions of their predecessors. I feel badly for them, but have no sympathy for Chizik.

Hold on, I'm not done laughing yet.

[CycloneErik]

Still, he could essentially lose $2 million. Wow!

You can't make up stories like this. Incredible!

Ames isn't looking so bad now, is, it...

Firmly entrenched... in debt

Maybe he can get the Minny or CU jobs.

The Gene bandwagon at Auburn....baffled and worried....Alabama smiles...
