I hate to even appear to be rubbing salt in a wound. It is probably very apparent to many Auburn fans by now, so I'm not giving any Alabama secrets away when I say problems on the Plains start with one individual. I'm not talking about Nick Saban, though he's not helping. Auburn football will be in a continual state of struggle until Bobby Lowder goes away. That goob and his lackeys are going to get Auburn into accreditation trouble yet, and simply because a guy runs a bank doesn't mean he can run a University or an athletic department.

On the bright side, Chizik is a defensive-minded coach and he is familiar with a lot of the high school coaches in the region.
