Just a day after Auburn has formally fired their head football coach Gene Chizik, there are already numerous rumors swirling around who will be the next coach for the Tigers.
One of the first names that is linked to this coaching opening is former Arkansas head coach, Bobby Petrino. While Petrino left Arkansas in disgrace late this summer, he is still considered one of the premier offensive minds in college football.
The Tigers finished this season in 3-9 and 0-8 in the SEC and desperately need a coach who will bring some excitement back to the Auburn campus. While Petrino does have a scarred past, he may be the best man for the job because of his extensive experience and success in the SEC.
