Charles Barkley Pulls Race Card On Auburn For Chizik Hire

Lobbying for Gill, alum Barkley says Auburn should have hired black coach

Former Auburn and NBA star Charles Barkley ripped his alma mater on Monday, saying the only reason the Tigers did not hire Buffalo's Turner Gill as the school's new football coach is because Gill is black.

Auburn on Saturday hired Iowa State's Gene Chizik, who had a 5-19 record in two seasons with the Cyclones. Chizik was the defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2004, when the Tigers finished 13-0 and ranked No. 2 in the country.

This is a tough hire to understand. I wonder if Gill was offered and declined or just was not offered.
