2009 Auburn Football Preview:
Head Coach: Gene Chizik
The first year with a new Head Coach is typically a reason for optimism within a program. Auburn heads into 2009 season playing for new Head Coach Gene Chizik. Chizik is a tough as nails defensive coach and a talented recruiter. Chizik's job in 2009 will be to put wins on the board quickly in order to try to make Tigers fans forget that he replaced legendary Coach Tommy Tuberville. If Chizik can post a strong record in the SEC and a victory over rival Alabama in the Iron Bowl, then fans down south might be chanting War Eagle in the SEC Championship Game.
